The aroma of lasagna has seeped through the Sieracki household for a good part of the last three months.
“My family is a little tired of it, I’m not going to lie,” Marci Sieracki said in jest.
But the cheese and noodle-layered dish that Sieracki has been whipping up sometimes more than twice a week since December isn’t necessarily for her family’s consumption.
Sieracki is the regional director of the Midwest branch of Lasagna Love, a nonprofit organization that provides warm meals primarily lasagnas to people in need.
“I’ve always felt like food is kind of my love language, it’s a good way to express that I care about somebody,” Sieracki said. “When I heard about [Lasagna Love], I felt like this was something. I wanted to be a part of.”
