Every life we save together is a reflection of the boundless love and dedication of our incredible team. Caregivers who give up their nights to bring comfort and peace. Psychologists who gently heal hearts and minds. Cooks who pour love into every dish they serve. These extraordinary souls breathe hope and renewal into those we care for, one heartfelt act at a time.
Meet Alena!
Alena is the heart and soul of our Mitzvah Schooling Program’s kitchen team. She makes every meal with love, turning meals into moments of comfort and connection. For our children, her food is so much more than nourishment—it’s a mother’s warm embrace and a taste of home.
This incredible woman remembers every child’s favourite dish and ensures that all special dietary needs are met with care and attention.
One of the highlights of the day for our teachers and support staff, is the morning ritual in Alena’s kitchen. They gather for a warm cup of coffee and a freshly baked sweet treat, lovingly prepared to start their day on the right note.
