MESH Report Nov 30, 2021
Another outstanding meal was prepared by Chef Fern Heinig. Fern cooked at home in advance, double wrapped and brought the fixings for 20 kosher meals to Shomrei for warming and packing.
Main course was Fern’s famous meatballs, homemade green bean and potato salad and homemade coleslaw. Chanukah cookies, clementines, a water bottle and some yummy croissant rolls baked by Collin completed the meal. Fern also included a Kind Bar for snack or breakfast. Three of the meals included falafel in place of meatballs to accommodate our vegetarian MESH guests.Longtime teen helper, Jonah, assisted Lynne Kurzweil and Aileen Grossberg with warming, sorting and packing the Grab and Go Meals. MESH Staffer, Joe Tyson, picked up the bags at Shomrei and brought them to the Unitarian Church parking lot where the meals were distributed.
