What is Chicken Soup Brigade?
Lifelong’s food program, Chicken Soup Brigade, improves the nutritional health of individuals living with chronic conditions by providing medically appropriate foods to those who are in medical need. Chicken Soup’s clients have specific health challenges, such as HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer or disabling arthritis. Most are living below the federal poverty level, and all require assistance in managing their nutritional health.
What you need to bring
Volunteers work as an assembly team with a staff lead to put together both regular and special meal bag types. The process is fun, dynamic and fast paced. Volunteers should expect to stand throughout the shift. They also should bring a water bottle and a hair tie, if needed, and wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable, layered clothes. The kitchen can be chilly. Lifelong will provide clean bandanas, aprons and disposable gloves for volunteers to wear.
