The East Harlem Village 

salutes pioneers and leaders during 

Black History Month - 2022 

Modeled after traditional indigenous 

villages, East Harlem Village for older 

adults offers its members a curated and 

well-knitted web of services and support 

using existing programs from 

neighborhood non-profits, so that each 

member lives well and ages safely and 

successfully in their own homes. In 

addition, members have the opportunity to 

organize, advocate for, and create other 

programs and economic activities that 

make the whole neighborhood a better 

place to live. Contact number: 646-306-

1364. 

One example of the excellence and 

resilience of the African-American 

community is the little known story of 

Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller. A physician, 

teacher, and scientist. Among his many 

accomplishments, he was one of five 

foreign doctors selected by 

Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1904 to do research 

in Munich, Germany on the nature of what 

we now known as Alzheimer's Disease. He 

made many contributions to the fields of 

Neurology and Psychiatry despite not being 

mentioned in most historical accounts of 

n carter the period.

Village Updates 

Welcome Marco Vela to the East Harlem Village team! Marco joins us as a Project Coordinator and is 

excited to join the EHV team as well as its partner network to improve the lives of seniors in our 

community! 

Enrollment In the last month, (October 2021 – Date), 55 seniors newly enrolled in East Harlem Village. 

Legacy Cookbook Series has begun this month through partnership with Life Story Club. In this sixweek club, seniors come together to share life stories around treasured family recipes and traditions. At 

the end of the club, our own legacy cookbook will be created, and everyone will be able to add their 

story and recipe to it. 

The English Series will be meeting every Tuesday from 11/16 – 12/21 at 10:45 am and the 

Spanish Series will be meeting every Wednesday from 11/17 – 12/22 at 10:45 am. Below you 

can find relevant information in both English and Spanish, including the point of contact for 

more information. The zoom link for the English Series is as follows, https://lifestorycluborg.zoom.us/j/87448323272 or call 929-205-6099 (meeting ID 874 4832 3272). The zoom link for 

the Spanish Series is as follows, https://lifestoryclub-org.zoom.us/j/86043250535 or call 929-

205-6099 (meeting ID 860 4325 0535). 

Our first meetings for the Legacy Cookbook Series were a great success! Seniors at both the English and 

Spanish meetings took great joy in sharing some of their favorite meals and sides, particularly based on 

the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Six (6) seniors participated at the 11/16 English meeting and five 

seniors participated at the 11/17 Spanish meeting. We look forward to continuing this series and having 

more seniors join us the next five weeks! 

This project was supported, in part by grant number 90INNU0018-03-00, from the Administration for Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201. Grantees 

undertaking projects with government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official ACL policy.
Grocery Store Tours have concluded for the year in East Harlem! From our first scheduled tour, 9/30, 

to our last, 11/18, a total of seventeen (17) seniors expressed interest in attending either or both the 

Cherry Valley Marketplace Tour and Harvest Home Farmer’s Market. Most recently, we concluded the 

grocery store tours on 11/18. We saw a total of twelve (12) seniors while handing out a total of $378 

Health Bucks to these seniors to be used towards produce purchases at the Harvest Home Farmer’s 

Market.

Did you know that throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, CBN 

has provided a total of 18 different reoccuring virtual classes

value in its ease, convenience, and accessibility for 

homebound individuals. CBN is proud to help guide older 

generations tackle a new wave of technology and strive to 

provide valuable content for those in person and at home. 

New York Common Pantry is hosting two holiday lunches to end the year! The first will be this

up a second eight-week Nutrition Series 

for this year! This second series consisted 

of cooking demonstrations from EHV 

staff and our Registered Dietitian Glenis 

Alexander, as well as a four-part Cheese 

Special with Certified Cheese 

Professional and Cheese Monger Kyra 

James. Throughout these eight weeks, we 

averaged an attendance of 54 

participants, with over 60 participants 

tuning in to 3 of these 8 classes. We have 

reached about 130 unique participants 

throughout the past 16 weeks and are 

looking to build off this momentum by 

continuing to host a new eight-week 

Nutrition Series this summer. Please see the image to the right, which shows Kyra James leading a 

cheese tasting experience at Carter Burden Network’s Covello Senior Center. The image below shows a 

class before the one above, where participants still fit in a smaller room.

East Harlem Village Update. The past three years of our EHV project have been a great opportunity 

to work with older adults and organizations like y’all’s in East Harlem. The experiences we have had 

have been enlightening to the successes of the community, and work still needing to be done. As we are 

in our final year of our awarded grant, we have looked to how we can make our work sustainable in the 

community. We are excited to announce that the Harlem Health Advocacy Partners (HHAP) program 

under the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (the Health Department) will now 

partner with Public Health Solutions (PHS) to deliver services. PHS will now deliver HHAP services 

including health coaching sessions and group wellness activities. As we transition to delivering these 

joint services, we aim to continue the great work HHAP has been doing and build on their successes as 

well as those of East Harlem Village, so that we may continue to serve East and Central Harlem to the 

best of our abilities. 

As make this transition, we still value every one of you and your organizations and the work we 

collaborated on to serve older adults. As we move forward, we would like to stay in touch with each one 

of you, especially if collaboration opportunities continue to present themselves between our 

organizations. We will be reaching out to each of you individually to share more details and discuss any 

transition plan in the next two months. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like more 

information on the work we will be doing! We look forward to providing more information on HHAP.

~ Key Takeaways to Avoid Risks:

➔ Do A Cheese Swap! Look for Low-Fat/Low Sodium Options

◆ Try cottage cheese or ricotta instead of high-fat cheeses in your recipes?!

◆ Search for low-fat/sodium versions of your favorite cheese and always double-check the food label

for daily values based on your dietary needs.

➔ No More EyeBalling + Use Smaller Portions!

◆ Use a measuring cup/spoon instead of portioning by hand & follow specific serving suggestions

(1 slice of cheese, instead of 2!)

➔ Moderate Intake While Maximizing Flavor!

◆ Look for firm/hard/aged OR stinky/funky cheeses that are more flavorful; then, grate a small

bit of Parmigiano or Smoked Gouda onto your pasta or maybe crumble a spicy & fruity Blue

Cheese on a salad?!

~ Cheese Shopping Tips:

1. Ask yourself: What are my dietary needs and/or restrictions?

2. Know what you need to look for: Low-Fat/Sodium? Lactose-free? Plant-Based?

3. Read every nutrition label & modify recipes + portions accordingly

a. Ask a professional to learn more about YOU!

The Ins, Outs + InBetweens of Cheese! 

WHAT the funk is Cheese? 奶酪是什么? 

 

The first cheeses of record, 5000+BC, were a mix of:

第一份奶酪, 公元前5000+年, 来自于: 

➔ HAPPY ACCIDENTS + CONTROLLED SPOILAGE

➔ 一场快乐的意外 + 控制好的食物变质

 

Some of these original cheeses are protected by their people, their culture and most 

importantly

➔ THE GOVERNMENT (look for labels with the letters “PDO” “DOP” “AOP”)

一些原始奶酪的制作方法是受到当地人民,当地文化以及政府所保护的. 

➔ 特别是政府保护 (标签里写有 “PDO” “DOP” “AOP”)

Most cheeses are whatever the maker wants them to be!

但是大部分的奶酪制作者可以随意决定怎么制作! 

What does all this mean? with 7000+ years of R&D, real cheese is always

ADAPTING + EVOLVING + CHANGING

经过多年的制作和研发,真正的奶酪总是在不断地

调整+进化+改良 

...similar to how animals (humans especially), Mother Nature (climate

changes) & our flavor preferences continue to adapt, evolve + change?!

...与人类和大自然相似, 环境气候口味也在不断地调整+进化+改变?! 

 

In short, cheese is UNAPOLOGETICALLY ALIVE and truly only “goes bad”

when you no longer enjoy it. #OwnYourFunk

这么说吧,奶酪毫无疑问地充满了生命力,而且只有在人们再也不享受它的时候,它才会

"变质". #OwnYourFunk

HOW the funk is Cheese? 奶酪怎么做的?

 

Cheese begins and ends with lovin’ on Dairy Milk! Not plants, nuts or soy...

奶酪是奶制品!不是植物、坚果或大豆...... 

● Dairy Milk = Liquid Gold and is ONLY produced by NEW MAMAS.

● 新鲜奶源 = 黄金奶源,只来自于刚刚哺乳期的动物妈妈

○ Nutrient-dense (calcium, vitamin B and D) and may help prevent disease and malnutrition

○ 营养丰富(钙、维生素 B 和 D),可能有助于预防疾病和营养不良

● Cow: 305 days Goat: 284 days Sheep: 100 days. Humans: varies but, we average 180days (or 

6months)

● 牛:305天 山羊:284天 绵羊:100天。人类:各不相同,但我们平均为 180 天(或

6 个月)

All REAL CHEESE has 4 ingredients, to start:

所有真正的奶酪都有 4 种成分:

1. Dairy Milk

新鲜奶源

a. Common types - cow, sheep, goat, water buffalo, camel, donkey

常见类型 - 牛、绵羊、山羊、水牛、骆驼、驴

2. Enzymes (causes solids & liquids to separate)

酶(使固体和液体分离)

a. Most use animal rennet; vinegar/lemon juice can be used

大多数使用动物凝乳酶;可以使用醋/柠檬汁

3. Microbial organisms - they’re alive and bring flavor, texture & rinds

微生物——它们是活的,带来味道、质地和外皮

a. May include: cultures (mozzarella), bacterias (swiss), molds (blue), yeast molds 

(brie)

可能包括:培养物(马苏里拉奶酪)、细菌(瑞士)、霉菌(蓝色)、酵母霉菌(布

里干酪)

4. Cheesemaking Salt

奶酪盐

a. Used to add flavor + help control moisture + how rind develops

用于添加风味 + 帮助控制水分 + 外皮如何发育

● Take the Milk -> EXCITE + SEPARATE using heat,enzymes and/of acid

● KEEP CURDS! Fat + Proteins (aka solids)

● DRIAN WHEY! Liquids, include most lactose sugars

● Salt? Heat? Flavor? Funk? Time? All Depend on final cheese style

● Attention (daily) until sold, sent for distribution & consumed

● 取牛奶 -> 使用热、酶和/酸激发 + 分离

● 保持凝乳!脂肪+蛋白质(又名固体)

● 干乳清!液体,包括大多数乳糖

● 盐?热?味道?放克?时间?全部取决于最终的奶酪风格

● 每天留意着奶酪,直到售出、送去分发和消费

What matters most? EVERY. SINGLE. ACTION. MATTERS.

➔ And is done with intent, creating the difference in the cheesemaker’s

vision for their dairy product.

什么最重要?每一个步骤都.重.要. 

➔ 每一个步骤都经过设计,这样才能制作出奶酪制造商眼里独特的奶酪

WHY the funk is Cheese? 为什么选择奶酪? 

It’s important to understand that cheesemaking slows down the aging dairy 

milk in order to ELIMINATE WASTE!

重要的是要了解,奶酪制作可以减缓牛奶的老化,从而消除浪费!

Helping farmers solve the question “What to do with all this milk?!”

● Dairy farmers = provides additional source of income

● Family farms = opportunity to create added-value products

● Hobby farmers = gives milk a purpose after babies stop drinking

帮助农民解决“如何处理所有这些牛奶?!”的问题

● 奶农 = 提供额外的收入来源

● 家庭农场 = 创造附加值产品的机会

● 爱好农民=在婴儿停止喝牛奶后赋予牛奶一个目的

Cheesemaking and all preserved dairy products (yogurt, butter, etc.) adds

value and purpose to the animals, the land, community + people who create 

them! NO GO, EAT MORE REAL CHEESE.

奶酪制作和所有腌制乳制品(酸奶、黄油等)为动物、土地、社区和创造它们的人

增加了价值和用途!多吃真正的奶酪。

The Ins, Outs + InBetweens of Cheese! 

Lo Que el funk es el Queso?

Los primeros quesos de registro, 5000 + BC, fueron una mezcla de:

➔ ACCIDENTES FELICES + DETERIORO CONTROLADO

Algunos de estos quesos originales están protegidos por su gente, su cultura y lo más 

importante.

➔ EL GOBIERNO (busque etiquetas con las letras "DOP" "DOP" "AOP")

¡La mayoría de los quesos son lo que el fabricante quiere que sean! What does all 

this mean? with 7000+ years of R&D, real cheese is always

ADAPTING + EVOLVING + CHANGING

...similar a cómo los animales (especialmente los humanos), la madre naturaleza 

(cambios climáticos) y nuestras preferencias de sabor continúan adaptándose, 

evolucionando + cambiando?

En resumen, el queso está VIVO SIN DISCULPAS y realmente solo "se echa a perder" 

cuando ya no lo disfrutas. #OwnYourFunk

¿Cómo el funk es el Queso?

¡El queso comienza y termina con lovin' on Dairy Milk! Ni plantas, ni frutos secos, ni 

soja...

● Leche Láctea = Oro Líquido y SOLO es producida por NEW MAMAS.

○ Denso en nutrientes (calcio, vitamina B y D) y puede ayudar a prevenir 

enfermedades y desnutrición

● Vaca: 305 días Cabra: 284 días Ovejas: 100 días. Humanos: varía, pero 

tenemos un promedio de 180 días (o 6 meses)

Todo Queso Real tiene 4 ingredientes, para empezar:

1. Leche Láctea

a. Tipos comunes: vaca, oveja, cabra, búfalo de agua, camello, burro

2. Enzimas (hace que los sólidos y los líquidos se separen)

a. La mayoría usa cuajo animal; vinagre / jugo de limón se puede utilizar

3. Organismos microbianos: están vivos y aportan sabor, textura y cortezas

a. Puede incluir: cultivos (mozzarella), bacterias (suizo), mohos (azul), 

mohos de levadura (brie)

4. Sal quesera

a. Se utiliza para agregar sabor + ayudar a controlar la humedad

+ cómo se desarrolla la corteza

Una lista de verificación rápida para la fabricación de queso:

Tomar la leche -> EXCITAR + SEPARAR usando calor, enzimas y/o de ácido

¡MANTÉN LA CUAJADA! Grasa + Proteínas (también conocidas como sólidos)

¡SUERO DE DRIAN! Líquidos, incluyen la mayoría de los azúcares de lactosa

¿Sal? ¿Calor? ¿Sabor? ¿Funk? ¿Hora? Todo depende del estilo de queso final

Atención (diaria) hasta que se vende, se envía para su distribución y se consume

¿Qué es lo que más importa? CADA. SOLTERO. ACCIÓN. ASUNTOS.

➔ Y se hace con intención, creando la diferencia en la visión del quesero 

para su producto lácteo.

¿POR QUÉ el funk es Queso?

¡Es importante entender que la fabricación de queso ralentiza el envejecimiento de la 

leche láctea para ELIMINAR el desperdicio!

Ayudar a los agricultores a resolver la pregunta "¿Qué hacer con toda esta leche?"

● Productores de leche = proporciona una fuente adicional de ingresos
● Granjas familiares = oportunidad de crear productos de valor añadido

● Hobby farmers = le da a la leche un propósito después de que los bebés dejan de beber

¡La fabricación de queso y todos los productos lácteos conservados (yogur, mantequilla, etc.) 

agrega valor y propósito a los animales, la tierra, la comunidad y las personas que los crean! NO 

VAYA, COMA MÁS QUESO REAL.

It’s important to understand that cheesemaking slows down the aging dairy milk in order

to ELIMINATE WASTE!

Helping farmers solve the question “What to do with all this milk?!”

● Dairy farmers = provides additional source of income

● Family farms = opportunity to create added-value products

● Hobby farmers = gives milk a purpose after babies stop drinking

Cheesemaking and all preserved dairy products (yogurt, butter, etc.) adds value and 

purpose to the animals, the land, community + people who create them! NO GO, EAT 

MORE REAL CHEESE.

3. Stir until all the greens are lightly coated in oil, then let them cook for 

about 30 seconds Continue stirring in 30-second intervals until the 

greens are wilted, dark green, and some are starting to turn browns on 

the edges (this is delicious). This will take between 3 to 6 minutes.

4. Once the collards are just about done, add the garlic and red pepper 

flakes (if using). Stir to break up the garlic and cook until it’s fragrant, 

about 30 seconds.

5. Remove the pan from the heat. Serve with a lemon wedge each.

that is hard to find?

Appendix F. Quality of Life and Food Insecurity changes data 

Main Results 

OPQOL 

To examine trends in food security in EHV, we looked at the distribution of OPQOL scores within each 

session. The jitter plot plots every single score per session, with the dark horizontal line marking the 

average score of each session. Chart a is a plot looking at all participants. Given the drop-off over time 

and low sample for the 3rd Follow-Up, we also looked at the OPQOL distribution for only participants we 

were able to screen for the initial, 1st, and 2nd Follow-ups (Chart b). The means between sessions for all 

participants and for the retained participants were not statistically different. 

a. Jitter plot of OPQOL over sessions for all participants (n=281)

• Comparing means of each session: Anova PR(>F) = 0.063654
b. Jitter plot of OPQOL over sessions for the participants we were able to screen for Initial, 1st, and 2nd

FUs (n=33)

• Comparing means of each session: ANOVA between three p-value = 0.31

Food Security Status 

To examine trends in food security in EHV, we looked at the percentage of participants who identified as 

food secure and not food secure over each session. Chart c includes all participants, where chart d is 

limited to only participants we were able to screen for all three initial, 1st, and 2nd follow-ups. 
c. Chart of FS status per session for all participants (n=281) 

d. Chart of FS status over sessions for participants we were able to screen for all three initial, 1st, and 2nd 

follow-ups (n=33) 
OPQOL over time 

We also looked at the distribution of OPQOL scores over the assessment completion date, to see how 

the initial assessments OPQOL scores changed over the course of years EHV was active (chart E). Though 

there is a slight trend upward in the mean score over time, the trend is not statistically significant. 

e. Scatter plot of Initial Assessment OPQOL over time for all participants (n=281)
