In conjunction with her Bat Mitzvah in June, Laura Wolfe, a seventh grade student at Grover Middle School, has been baking and delivering her baked goods to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen weekly. She attends Hebrew School at Adath Israel Congregation in Lawrenceville.
Wolfe also created “LauraCakes,” a cookbook filled with recipes from her family and friends. She is selling her cookbooks to benefit Yad Eliezer, Israel’s largest poverty relief organization that supplies baby formula to undernourished, poor babies. Wolfe is hoping to raise enough money to feed 10 babies for a year.
Not new to community service, Wolfe serves as a member of Girl Scout Troop 70966. She is a volunteer at the Friendship Circle’s Mini Chefs program, where she cooks and bakes for families of individuals with special needs. She also volunteers at the Friendship Circle’s holiday events.
At Grover she was in the stage crew for the recent production of “Once on This Island” and is a member of Grover’s school choir. She has been playing the guitar for more than four years.
