Leftovers for MESH

by Aileen Grossberg

Thank you to Gail Stocks for her contribution of desserts left from shiva. Gail is truly a mensch to think of MESH during her time of mourning.

An additional thank you goes to the Nadel/ Lapidus family for saving some delicious main dish items for MESH.

Keep in mind that every Monday someone takes kiddush leftovers to the MESH site. So, if you have usable food ( enough to feed at least 10 people) left from any occasion, let Aileen Grossberg know () or sign up on MESH’s Sign Up Genius page (shomrei.org/mesh) and drop them off on Monday between 3:30 and 4:00.

Your leftovers can become dinner for a food insecure person.

About MESH:

The Carol Starr MESH Cafe at Shomrei (Montclair Emergency Services for Hope) is a cooperative effort between the MESH organization and local synagogues and churches.

Shomrei is providing 50 MESH meals on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month.  We need helpers to prepare and pack. Please help fulfill this crucial mitzvah by volunteering to help with food preparation or bagging. Volunteers are also welcomed to help serve at the MESH site, 619 Bloomfield Ave, Montclair- the site of the former Office Restaurant. MESH provides dinner 6 nights a week, Monday through Saturday, 4:30-6:30 pm.

Sign up to help at: shomrei.org/mesh or to make a donation at: shomrei.org/donatemesh.
