Sharing and Caring for Sukkot

Wow, we can't believe how far we are into the year!  High holy days are upon us and fall is just around the corner.  This month's TBA Teenfeed dinner will be hosted on October 1st, 2020, the night before Sukkot begins.  This is a holiday and season we are specifically called to share with those who are in need of food and shelter.

We can all agree that 2020 has been a year like no other many of us have seen.   Linda and I want to thank each of you for continued giving over the years and especially this year while our society has faced unusual adversity.  For our Teenfeed team that has meant addressing barriers to meal service during the COVID-19 pandemic which we have accomplished with your flexibility and generosity. 

Please take this opportunity to remember our mission and the youth in our community that need our help. Donating food or funds enables us to continue our monthly mitzvah of sharing a meal with teens and young adults who may otherwise go without.

Thank you for all who contributed to September's Stir Fry dinner.  Our diners were excited for the change in flavor!

This month we will be serving a hot chicken sandwich dinner.  Please follow this link to sign-up to donate: October 2020 Teenfeed Sign-up.  As always, please feel free to contact us vial email at TBATeenfeed@gmail.com or via phone to Callie at 602.361.1938.

Best,

September 2020 Stir-Fry Dinner!

Big thank you for your continued support in making TBA's Teen Feed efforts a big success month after month.  BBQ Chicken Sandwiches made a repeat appearance in August and was declared the perfect "to-go" dinner for our patrons.  

                               

Our team has continued to decorate our to-go bags with uplifting words and jokes  to help give our diners a spiritual lift. We're lucky to not have run out of ideas yet, but if anyone is interested in getting involved with bag decorating, please let Callie know and she can set-up drop off and pick-up.

                                                                 

Out of an abundance of caution, Teenfeed is continuing to observe distancing guidelines for meal preparation.  In an effort to take precautions for our volunteers and diners, we continue to request food donations only for the month of September 2020.

Please view our sign-up here, September 2020 Teenfeed, to view donation options/methods and what items are still needed for our September 03, 2020 meal.  We will be hosting Chicken Stir Fry to-go for our diners and appreciate your help making this possible!

Hope everyone is continuing to stay well and enjoy the sun and warmth!

Summer BBQ Dinner!

Thank you to all July Teenfeed contributors that allowed us to serve a warm, filling meal to University District youth.  Teenfeed staff and our diners really enjoyed the meal and had this to share in a follow-up email: 

"Wow what a delicious and easy meal - you all made it a breeze for us to serve up dinner and the food was beyond yummy. Thank you for your amazing work on behalf of Teen Feed's guests, we are so grateful!"

We also took some time to decorate our "to-go" bags with positivity, puns and a few laughs which Teenfeed shared on their facebook page (image below).  If anyone is interested in getting involved with bag decorating, please let Callie know and she can set-up drop off and pick-up.

BBQ Chicken Sandwiches to Kick-Off Summer

Thank you all for continuing to support TBA's work with Teenfeed to make sure University District Youth continue to receive hot meals despite the obstacles of COVID-19.  Last month 80 beef and bean burrito meals were provided to our University District youth through Teenfeed and ROOTS shelter.  

We received many thanks from the diners and Teenfeed staff who let us know that due to a decline in many groups' abilities to continue to contribute at pre-COVID-19 levels, the diners have had less robust meals and many now served cold. Our hot burritos brought them back for seconds and thirds.  See below some photos of the meals made possible by you.


As King County remains in Phase 1, we hope that you will be able to continue to support our goal to serve 80 hot meals on our June dinner night.  In observance of distancing guidelines and to take precautions for both our volunteers and diners: We are again requesting food donations only for the month of May. 

Please view our sign-up here June 2020 Teenfeed to see if there is anything you can donate for BBQ Chicken Sandwiches on June 04, 2020. Multiple options for food or fund donations can be viewed there as well.

Big thank you to all who donated time or food to the April 2020 Teenfeed meal.  Last month 70 chicken sandwich meals were provided to our University District youth.  We received many compliments and thanks communicated from and through the Teenfeed staff. See below some photos of the meals made possible by you.

As we continue to shelter-in, we hope that you will be able to continue to support our goal to serve 80 hot meals on our May dinner night.  In observance of shelter-in-place/stay-at-home guidelines and to take precautions for both our volunteers and diners: We are again requesting food donations only for the month of May. 

Please view our sign-up here May 2020 Teenfeed to see if there is anything you can donate for Burrito Thursday on May 07, 2020. Multiple options for food or fund donations can be viewed there as well.
