Meet Chef Jeremiah Rufini, Executive Chef &
Meals Program Coordinator
Jeremiah came to St. Vincent de Paul Middletown over ten years ago, having previously cooked for country clubs, restaurants and banquet halls. In that time, he has advanced the cause of healthy meals, being careful with excess sugar, fats and salt. During the COVID era, our small kitchen turned out as many as 700 meals per day, keeping the community fed when everyone else closed their doors. Contact Jeremiah for Community Service, for volunteer opportunities, donations and any inquiries about the soup kitchen at 860-344-0097, ext. 115, or email him at Jeremiah@SVDMiddletown.org.
