Ethan Grossberg, Scarsdale High School junior, and Becca Friedland, SHS sophomore, were inspired by the work their moms were doing to reinvigorate Meals on Wheels Scarsdale, so they decided to form the first ever Meals on Wheels Scarsdale Junior Board. The board began its work in early 2025 with the goal of enhancing the meal delivery experience for all meal recipients. Between birthday bags and Thanksgiving baskets, they continue to brainstorm and execute ways to bring a smile to the faces of the MOW recipients.
In order to bring their ideas to life, the junior board, which also includes Ayla Kantor, Lila Rosen, Hunter Ross and Ryan Sussberg knew they would need to do some fundraising. Becca and Ethan came up with the idea to organize a 5K race in Scarsdale to help raise money to cover the costs of the junior board initiatives, as well as have additional dollars to keep Meals on Wheels running effectively. The first ever Meals on Wheels Frosty 5K is scheduled for December 14th at 10:00 am at Scarsdale High School. We hope Scarsdale residents will register to come support this special, and very necessary, organization. People can run, walk, come alone, bring a friend, come as a family...however they want, we just hope to see them there! See the link and flyer for registration information.
