Thank you from the Healing Meals crew for your generous support on ! Bergen County Commissioner Tracy Silna Zur joined the team to roll the very popular Cheesy Lasagna Rolls at the No Fuss Lunch kitchen, Haledon. Tracy is a major force for resident food security in Bergen County (including Ridgewood Feed the Frontlines outreach). We are truly grateful for her friendship and support!

The Glen Rock Elder Dinner was an exciting success today! 🎉 GRNN brought the community together with a heartfelt gathering (even Ridgewood Rotary am members were present, too!), the Kapur family supported the delicious meal in honor of Arjun’s father, and the Healing Meals volunteers seamlessly handed off yesterday’s cooking to today’s reheat-and-serve — even passing the Bergen County health inspection with flying colors! ✅. Thank you No Fuss Lunch for your kitchen & support!

Endless gratitude to every helping hand who makes this event so special for our seniors. Our volunteers are simply the best! 💚

Next up: Ridgewood Elder Dinner on 11/9 — join us in serving love! 🤝✨

A feast is ready for our Glen Rock elders — and what a team effort! 🦃🎉 With a Glen Rock squad of amazing Healing Meals volunteers (including a Girl Scout troop!) at the No Fuss Lunch Kitchen, the turkey was roasted, carved, and made delicious under the leadership of Arjun Kapur and Stacey, our director. Together, we’re showing what community and gratitude truly look like. 💪💛
See you tomorrow at St. Catharine’s for the big dinner hosted by GRNN!

Healing Meals on Demand!
We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative (BVMI) to deliver dietitian-approved monthly meals and soups to working uninsured individuals who need both medical support and nutritious food. Our amazing volunteers doubled production this month to make the first delivery happen this week!

Meanwhile, we continue to serve our “regulars” at Tomorrow’s Children’s Fund, Ridgewood Social Services, Ridgecrest, and the Franciscan Community Development Center.

This powerful impact is only possible because:
- Our team is 100% volunteer
- No Fuss Lunch donates their kitchen space
- Our Lady of Mt. Carmel shares ingredients from their monthly food drives
- And you support us through private donations

Every helping hand truly makes a difference for our community when they need it most!
