MESH this week was prepared on Monday (to be delivered on Tuesday) by teens in PLATE – Providing Local Aid to End Hunger. This is a Montclair High School Club led by Shomrei teen Jordan. The enthusiastic teens who have been participating in Teen MESH inspired the creation of PLATE.
This past Tuesday three newly minted MESH team members joined Aileen Grossberg and Lynne Kurzweil to prepare a delicious comfort food meal for 50 MESH guests. (more…)
Chef Joan Zief organized a hearty and tasty meal for our MESH guests with the able assistance of sous chefs/packers Lynne Kurzweil, Susan Rosenblatt, Risa Bernstein and Carole Rothman. (more…)
Flexibility is key!
This week in our ongoing effort to engage wider participation by accommodating congregants’ availability, we had a tag team on Monday and Tuesday. Monday afternoon Lynne Kurzweil, Shirley Grill and Linda Wieseneck did the cooking and stored it for warming and packing up on Tuesday.
Five friendly MESH volunteers gathered in the Shomrei kitchen on Tuesday to prepare 50 hearty and tasty meals for our MESH guests. Chef Lynne Kurzweil shopped for the food at Costco, ShopRite and the Fooderie and MESH CoChair Aileen Grossberg stopped at Amazing Savings to stock up on our packing supplies. (When you shop at the Fooderie, please remember to thank Ari from Meat Maven for giving Shomrei a nice discount on chicken drumsticks). Helpers were Susan Rosenblatt, Carole Rothman, Carol Blau and Julie Weinstein.
