SUMMARY:Drop off items needed for the Makai-Family of 3 just resettling in Bethesda
DESCRIPTION:Help create a home for a newly resettling Afghan family of three: mom\, dad\, and a 19-year-old with a medical condition (down-syndrome) has just moved to Bethesda\, Maryland. Let’s extend a warm welcome to them by transforming their apartment into a cozy and welcoming home! Your willingness to assist is deeply appreciated by this family. \nWhile the family has some essentials (furnitures)\, they still need additional items to make their new home complete. We kindly ask that items be dropped off directly with the family as soon as possible. You can contact Mom directly by text to arrange a convenient time to meet them. We hope you’ll participate in this wonderful opportunity to meet the family and welcome them to our community! \nIf you prefer\, you can also order items to be sent directly to the family’s address. Upon signing up to contribute\, you will receive Mom’s name\, contact information\, and address. Please inform him of any packages you send so he can be on the lookout for them. \nThank you for your generosity and support in helping this family settle into their new home! \nDonation Guidelines\nFurniture must be in very good condition\, with no chips\, tears\, or stains. Other household goods should be new or very gently used. In addition\, all donations must be clean and completely free of pet hair\, cobwebs\, and cigarette smoke. For donated bed linens\, package same-size linens together in a bag or box that is labeled with the bedding size contained therein.  \nPlease ONLY bring those items for which you have signed up unless you have been in touch with the mom or (me at 202 873 0632- since Makai has language barrier) and received confirmation to bring specific additional items.  The family of 3 will be living in small apt\, so Less is More!! We appreciate your generosity and your understanding! \nSafety Reminder\nAs with all KindWorks projects\, when you register you do so with the understanding that volunteering may involve physical activity\, the handling of sharp objects and cooking apparatus\, the lifting of heavy objects\, contact with unidentified and unfamiliar persons\, and will require the exercise of reasonable care to avoid injury and/or damage\, and agree to assume any and all risks of personal injury or property damage. \nLearn more about this KindWorks program \n \n\nDrop off items needed for the Makai-Family of 3 just resettling in Bethesta

SUMMARY:KindSoup for Students - Make Lemon Orzo Chicken Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Deb online for KindSoup for Students as we make a Lemon Orzo Chicken Soup (based on this recipe from Joy Bauer). After completing your soup\, and sharing some with your family\, freeze and label the rest for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers. \nStudents can earn 1 Student Service Learning Hour for every 2 quarts of frozen soup made with the group and delivered to others. There is a maximum of 8 quarts that can qualify for any given day (4 hours). Most recipes render at least 6 quarts of soup\, 3 SSL hours. \nIn order to receive SSL Hours \n\ntake a picture during preparation and at delivery\nreport on where you shared your KindSoup \nComplete this SSL Form  \n\nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nLemon Orzo Chicken Soup\n\n\n\n\n2 medium yellow onions\, finely diced\n8 medium carrots\, diced into thin coins\n2 teaspoons kosher salt\n½ teaspoon ground black pepper\n6 to 8 cloves garlic\, minced\n4 teaspoons lemon zest\n16 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth\n2 cups whole-grain orzo\, or any small whole-grain pasta\n2 tablespoons corn starch + 2 tablespoons water*\n½ cup lemon juice\n6 cups cooked\, shredded chicken*\n½ to 1 cup roughly chopped fresh dill (optional)\n\n*You can use 4 tablespoons arrowroot flour instead of cornstarch. Mix it with 4 tablespoons water to dissolve before adding to soup.\n**You can use rotisserie chicken or any leftover cooked chicken and shred by hand. \nSoup Instructions\n\n\n\nLiberally coat a large pot with olive oil spray and warm over medium heat. Add onions\, carrots\, salt\, and black pepper and cook\, stirring occasionally\, 7 to 9 minutes\, until veggies are softened. Add garlic and lemon zest and cook 1 minute. Stir often to prevent the garlic from burning.\nAdd chicken broth to the pot\, increase heat to high\, and bring soup to a boil. Add orzo\, reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook\, stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pot\, for about 6 minutes or until orzo reaches al dente. Meanwhile\, make the cornstarch slurry by adding the cornstarch and water to a small bowl\, and whisking until smooth. Set aside until ready to use.\nOnce orzo is cooked\, add shredded chicken\, lemon juice\, and cornstarch slurry to the pot and mix everything together. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes to allow soup to thicken. Add additional salt\, pepper and fresh dill\, if desired\, and serve piping hot.\n\nNote: It will last a few days in the fridge or you can stash in the freezer for a few months. It will thicken in the freezer\, but should thin out when heating. You can add a little more broth if desired. \n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nSTUDENTS:  \nPrior to our Sunday\, May 18th cooking session:  \n\nConfirm your participation by signing up at the bottom of this page\nGather your ingredients\nMake sure that you have either a Soup Pot large enough to hold all of this soup\, or two smaller ones that will together hold it all\nHave 6 quart sized plastic soup containers with tight fitting lids (ask your neighbors if you could have theirs rather than them recycling them – they will be thrilled)\n\nHave all of your ingredients and cooking tools out and ready for when you sign on to our zoom at 5pm.
