MESH Report Nov 16, 2021

by Lynne Kurzweil

 

This week, Aileen Grossberg prepared the quintessential comfort food meal: Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, homemade Cole slaw, Italian Bread with Spread, Fresh Fruit Cup with Pineapple and Blueberries, not one but two cookies: one chocolate chunk and the other cranberry oatmeal, and PB crackers for a snack. As always, a water bottle and condiments were included. John Lasiter ably assisted with packing and cleanup. Next week, another partner will cover the meal and we will resume on November 30th.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

About MESH:

The Carol Starr MESH Cafe at Shomrei (Montclair Emergency Services for the Homeless) is a cooperative effort between the MESH organization and local synagogues and churches. While in-person service has been discontinued, donations from each institution are being used to provide hearty, nutritious meals for the hungry. Shomrei’s turn is on Tuesday nights. Please help fulfill this crucial mitzvah by making a donation at: shomrei.org/donate.
