On Wednesday, November 2, the community is invited to spend the evening making chicken soup for community members in need. The Chicken Soup Project is initiated by the Women’s Philanthropy wing of UJA Greenwich and provides “free soup to Greenwichites when they’re sick or bereaved or recovering from surgery,” explained UJA/JCC Assistant Director Leah Schechter. Gallons will also go to the Kosher Food Pantry of Jewish Family Service of Stamford, just in time for Thanksgiving.
While the broth is simmering, participants will share a light nosh and take in food for thought provided by author Jessica Fechtor and her bestselling memoir, Stir, My Broken Brain and The Meals That Brought Me Home. Winner of a Living Now Book Award, Stir traces Fechtor’s poignant and inspiring story of recovery — with the help of cooking — from a near-fatal brain aneurysm.
“The event brings together women in a hands-on community service project to nourish and heal others while also finding nourishment for their soul”, adds Schechter. "Everyone is welcome to participate in The Chicken Soup Project!". Tickets ($30 in advance, $40 at the door) can be purchased at jccgreenwich.org or 203-552-1818.
YWCA Greenwich is located at 259 E. Putnam Ave.
