SUMMARY:Home Setup for Ahmadi Family of 5 in Riverdale MD
DESCRIPTION:  \nHelp create a home for a newly resettling Afghan family\, a household of 5\, mom\, dad and 3 children!  Let’s welcome them to our community by turning their mostly empty space into a warm and welcoming home!  Your willingness to jump in and help is truly special and deeply appreciated by this family. \nWe ask that items are dropped off directly with the family as soon as possible by contacting Dad directly by text and arranging to meet them at your earliest convenience.  We hope that you can participate and take advantage this wonderful opportunity to meet the people we serve and to welcome them to our community!  You can also order things to be sent directly to them – you will receive Dad’s name\, contact info and address upon your signing up for things.  (If you do that\, please do let him know what you are sending\, so he can be on the lookout for the package(s).  \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 Abdullah (the Dad) and received confirmation to bring specific additional items.  The family of 6 will be living in small space (a basement 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. \n  \nLearn more about this KindWorks program \n \n\nHome Setup – Ahmadi Family of 5 in Riverdale MD

SUMMARY:KindSoup for Students - Make Golden Potato and Greens Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Deb online for KindSoup for Students as we make Golden Potato and Greens Soup (based on this recipe from New York times.) 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\n take 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\nGolden Potato and Greens Soup\n\n\n\n\n1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil\, plus more for garnishing\n6 medium leeks (white and green parts)\, finely chopped\n12 garlic cloves\, thinly sliced\n6 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes\, sliced into rounds (about ¼-inch thick)\n1 Tbsp ground turmeric (or more to taste)\n1 tsp red pepper flakes – more to taste\nSalt and black pepper\n3 bunches Swiss chard\, kale or mature spinach\, stems removed\, coarsely chopped\nCoarsely chopped dill\, for garnishing\noptional: can or 2 of coconut milk\n\nSoup Instructions\n\n\n\nHeat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add the leeks and garlic and cook\, stirring occasionally\, until the leeks have softened but have not browned\, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the potatoes\, turmeric and red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon\, give the potatoes and leeks a good stir to coat them with the spices.\nPour 15 cups of water into the pot\, season with more salt and bring to a simmer. Cook\, stirring occasionally\, until the potatoes are very soft and nearly falling apart\, 25 to 30 minutes. Use the spoon to mash down a few of the potatoes to help them release their starch\, which will thicken the soup and make it even more creamy. Throw in the Swiss chard and simmer until just wilted\, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add more salt\, if needed.\nLadle the soup into bowls. Scatter the dill over top\, drizzle with oil and finish with a few cranks of pepper before serving.\n\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\, June 15th 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.
