MESH volunteers will be happy to hear that Joe Tyson is back working at MESH at the Bloomfield Avenue site. Volunteers who drop off Shomrei’s prepared meals will undoubtedly be greeted by one of MESH’s Joes – Tyson or Granger.Though it’s been summer and we have not been preparing meals in the Shomrei kitchen, MESH has been the beneficiary of our excess food at kiddushes. The need for food has not decreased. MESH feeds upwards of 75 people 6 nights a week.
If you have usable leftovers from a celebration or just want to be generous, contact Shomrei’s MESH co-chair Aileen Grossberg (email hidden; JavaScript is required) for details on how to make a delivery.
Regular meal prep for MESH begins in September. The signup sheet will be up shortly.
Please be generous with your time and help feed Montclair’s food insecure. Cooking with a group is fun and fulfilling. It’s a mitzvah!
