MESH Report for January 13, 2026
The expert team of Linda Ariel, Sarita Eisenberg, Lou Hammerman, Charles Steindel and Captain Sarah Steindel got together on a sunny winter day to prepare a delicious meal for MESH.
The menu was BBQ chicken drumsticks (BBQ tofu for the vegan meals) with sides of roasted potatoes and mixed roasted broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. A generous chunk of Cuban bread, a fresh Cara Cara orange, Oreos, and a bottle of water rounded out the meal.
The team packed the meals and cleaned up, and Charles and Sarah delivered the meal to the MESH site.
About MESH

Volunteer at Shomrei
Shomrei provides 50 meals to MESH on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month. We need volunteers to help prepare and pack the food. For those interested in volunteering who are not available on Tuesday afternoons, we are brainstorming different ways to make it work. Let us know what would work for you.
