Teen MESH Report, 11/9-11/10/26
This week, teens Jordan, Sena and Caitlin met after school Monday to prepare 50 meals for MESH. With some help from Sarah Steindel, they prepared roasted chicken with barbecue rub and a pasta salad with veggies as the main meal. They also packed 50 dinner bags with individual portions of the pasta salad, rolls, cookies, protein bars, water bottles and cutlery packs.
On Tuesday Sarah and Lynne Kurzweil reheated and packed the chicken and prepared and packed veggie burgers for four vegan meals. Lynne delivered the meals to MESH.
Many thanks to Risa Bernstein who shopped for all the supplies and to Mustafa and Carlos who make sure to keep our packing supplies in stock.
We thank the Carol Starr MESH Fund for helping to underwrite these meals.
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.

Additionally, each Monday afternoon, we deliver any usable food leftover from Kiddish to MESH.
Volunteer at the (Temporary) MESH Site
Volunteers are also welcome to help serve food 6 nights a week, Monday through Saturday, 4:30-6:30 pm at the MESH site. Due to a burst pipe at the MESH site at 619 Bloomfield Ave, MESH will be meeting temporarily at the Union Baptist Church.
