Hayden Difatta

Culinary Administrative Assistant

 

Hayden DiFatta joined the Healing Meals family in December 2023 as the Culinary Administrative Assistant, working closely with various aspects of the operations. Hayden’s journey with Healing Meals began at age fourteen as a youth volunteer. She received her blue apron eight months later and then her chef coat about a year after that as a sophomore at Simsbury High School. During her senior year in high school, Hayden served on the Healing Meals Board of Directors as a youth board member, and over the years she has also volunteered for various public relations events representing Healing Meals.


After completing high school and her one-year term on the Board, Hayden spent time with Healing Meals as a Kitchen Assistant where she realized her love for Healing Meals went much deeper than being part of the volunteer community. Her passion for helping others and her unique problem-solving skills are a great match for the everyday challenges a non-profit faces. A natural leader, Hayden loves sharing Healing Meals with others and looks forward to welcoming new people into the organization, showing them around, and hoping they love the mission and atmosphere as much as she does.
