This Monday we would like to introduce you to one of our long standing Community Partners...Jared Apuzzo of @csasoupkitchen

Jared Apuzzo started working for CSA (Community Service Associates) in the summer of 2001. What started as a summer job ended up being a full time career. Through the years, Jared has handled many of the administrative functions of CSA from coordinating volunteers for serving and cooking meals to organizing fundraisers and writing grants. Jared earned his certification for food safety in 2018 adding the full time chef position to his list of responsibilities. In 2016 Jared started the "Make A Meal for One Night" program which helped ease the financial burden of food costs while still providing delicious home cooked meals to guests. The Covid 19 Pandemic has changed the way CSA is distributing food, but it has not changed the quality and quantity of food that each guest receives. Today, if Jared is not grant writing, scheduling volunteers to cook meals, ordering inventory, or cooking in the kitchen, you can find him outside the Armory at 5pm distributing take home bags of food to any individual who is in need of a free meal.

Continuing our partnership which has served many people over the years, this week the JLB will be "Cooking For A Cause" in memory of our former President and beloved member Erica Sevilla. More than 30 members have signed up to participate in preparing meals to be delivered and served to 100 CSA Soup Kitchen participants over two nights.

Despite these difficult times, this October we are

Despite these difficult times, this October we are celebrating sisterhood in multiple ways:

🌽 Our “Cooking For A Cause” represents how our sisterhood still finds ways to give back to our community. Our members will prepare portions of a meal that we will collect and deliver to the CSA soup kitchen in Mount Vernon, in honor of Erica Sevilla's memory.

👩‍💻👩🏽‍💻Our Recruiting event held last week represents how we connected via a successful Zoom call to expand our sisterhood, with as many as 16 new members opting to join us!

💃💃🏻💃🏿Lastly, our desire to get together in small, socially distanced groups to have fun as friends with “Witches Night Out” later this month.

Here’s to our sisterhood @juniorleaguebronxville!

Meet-A-Member Monday: Let us introduce you to Tiff

Meet-A-Member Monday: Let us introduce you to Tiffany Tinson. Tiffany joined the League in the winter of 2004. She was a new mom, relatively new to the area, and looking for a way to get more involved in the community. During Tiffany’s 10+ years as an active JLB Member, she met amazing and inspiring women who became dear friends. She also had the privilege of volunteering with many wonderful organizations in our service area that make a meaningful difference. Tiffany is excited to be more involved with the JLB in 2020-21 as Sustainer Chair and looks forward to connecting with fellow Sustainers!

Thank you for your service Tiffany and look forward to another successful year ahead!
