This is a great family activity and a wonderful project for community service hours. Recommended age for children 5 years or older.
Project Chicken Soup
Project Chicken Soup is a non-profit organization which provides nutritious, kosher meals to people living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles County.

The preparation process has no patient contact, whereas the delivery of meals allows volunteers to create a rapport with clients.
