Aimee Tsakirellis of Cedar’s Mediterranean Foods became the inaugural recipient Wednesday of L’Arche Boston North’s Heart of Generosity Award.
Tsakirellis, executive vice president of marketing and communications at Cedar’s, was presented the award during a ceremony at L’Arche’s Culinary Program Kitchen in Haverhill. The award “honors an individual or organization whose extraordinary generosity—through time, resources, or spirit—has deeply enriched the life of the L’Arche Boston North community.” Tsakirellis was selected for her commitment to L’Arche’s mission and ongoing support of the organization’s inclusive culinary training initiative for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“In creating this award, we hoped to recognize not just generosity, but the heart behind the help—and Aimee truly embodies that spirit,” said L’Arche Boston North Executive Director Jennifer Matthews. “Her support has gone far beyond the material—she has become a true companion to our mission, showing up with care, advocacy, and an unwavering belief in the power of community.”
Under Tsakirellis’ leadership, Cedar’s Mediterranean Foods has provided generous in-kind and financial support, while also amplifying the program’s mission within the broader community.
“It is truly a heartfelt honor to be receiving this award from LBN. The Culinary Collaborative is comprised of such inspiring, special individuals who motivate Cedar’s and our community to be more involved in partnering with transformative programs in Haverhill,” Tsakirellis told participants. “It is a pleasure to know you and our absolute privilege to be a part of your successes. I can’t wait to see what’s to come for you in the near future and I look forward to continuing our partnership.”
