In October, members of Wellesley-in-Westchester participated in a day of service at the Open Door Family Medical Center in Mamaroneck, N.Y., in collaboration with Feeding Westchester and the Larchmont Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force. The last Saturday of every month, volunteers help run a monthly market to distribute 10,000 pounds of fresh produce to community residents in need. During the October event, 10 alums, a spouse, and six teenage children helped set up tables, unload produce, pre-bag smaller items, and distribute fresh fruit and vegetables—grapes, apples, peppers, grapefruit, spaghetti squash, romaine lettuce, and cantaloupes.

Jamie Beck Jensen ’86, the club’s vice president who helped organize the event, says, “The Wellesley-in-Westchester group believes we best serve local organizations when we join them in already organized efforts. … ​It is messy work—but such a meaningful way to give back, break down stereotypes, and learn more about the complex delivery of health care.”
