At yellow house we choose homemade comfort food over store bought munchies. For many of our boys, this is their only shot to eat proper, yummy food.
The hardest part of this mitzvah is that you won’t witness the joy of seeing the boys gobble up all your hard work. And this is also the reason why the reward is so great.
Kid friendly
Serving kids here. Nutrition is important but please skip the truffle oil, blue cheese, raw honey and kombucha.

Please note: To put an extra smile on the boys faces, feel free to write a short sweet message of best wishes. The random gesture from all the unknown community moms and daughters is priceless to a smashed up child.
