Who are the Chicken Soupers?
Beth Sholom Chicken Soupers was started in the late ‘80s at the height of the AIDS crisis – providing nourishing, volunteer-cooked kosher meals for AIDS Project clients of Jewish Family and Children’s Services. When medicine and prevention improved, and the caseload decreased, Disability Project clients were welcomed to the rolls.

Why Become a Chicken Souper?
This impactful program is rewarding for volunteers and recipients alike. Take it from these participants:
“I receive much more than I can ever give back. It’s a real privilege to be let into their lives.”
“I have been a monthly delivery person for almost 30 years and it is high on my list of the most meaningful ways I use my time and energy.”

Are There Other Ways to Support?
For all of these years, financial support for Chicken Soupers has come from the Beth Sholom community — in trickles and chunks, from individuals and families, ‘just because’ and in memory of a loved one. Donate here help us to buy groceries and packaging (and some little treats) so that we can continue to cook and pack and hand a brimming bag of Jewish communal care and concern over the doorsteps of those who need us.
