From Captain Fern Heinig:
The Chaos Crew managed the Carol Starr Cafe, back of house and front of house. We served 20 guests who braved the ice storm and provided six take away meals.
A huge thank you to my wonderful volunteers who shopped at Costco for socks, blankets, and gloves for our guests. All of our guests left with a VPG (valuable parting gift).
Dinner last night was a new menu cooked by the Chaos Crew:
Deviled Eggs
Green Salad
Oven fried flounder
Home fried potatoes
Cheesy Broccoli Souflee’
Fruit Salad
Cupcakes
Last nights Chaos Crew was Taylor, Paige, Mary, Henry, Evan, Hannah, Max, Brian, Sienna, Elana, Holly, Tracy, Meg, and Maggie

About MESH:
The Carol Starr MESH Cafe at Shomrei (Montclair Emergency Services for the Homeless) is a cooperative effort between the MESH organization and local synagogues and churches. Volunteers at each institution cook and serve hearty, nutritious meals for the hungry. Shomrei’s turn is on Tuesday nights. A good meal, and perhaps as important, social interaction and companionship offer respite to those who need it. Please help fulfill this crucial mitzvah by volunteering.
To sign up to help, go to shomrei.org/mesh.
