Over 60 guests attended JFS Herb Dinner on November 6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The JFS [Jewish Family Service] Herb Dinner raised more than $5,000 for the agency\u2019s health and wellness initiatives.<\/p>\n

On Nov.6, the dinner brought together 60 guests for a three-course vegetarian and gluten free meal made with seasonal herbs, vegetables and local farm-raised eggs all perfectly complimented with red and white organic wines.<\/p>\n

The meal featured dishes such as Korean pancakes made with local eggs and oyster and shiitake mushrooms; roasted butternut squash and saut\u00e9ed kale; beetroot, cauliflower and turnip soup; sweet potato hummus and more.<\/p>\n

The Herb Dinner expresses to the community the lack of nutritional options.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Challenges: many community members face them when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, especially those with mental illness or other barriers.<\/p>\n

Herbalist Gayle Gross went around to each table accompanied by Functional Nutritionist Diane Melano and Chicken Rancher Gail Reichman offering education and information about the nutritional benefits of each dish enjoyed throughout the evening.<\/p>\n

JFS Health and Wellness Initiatives.<\/h2>\n

JFS provides numerous benefits to agency consumers such as physical activity, interaction with peers and healthy lifestyle and diabetes education.<\/p>\n
