SUMMARY:Clean Up Sangamore Road & Surrounding Area
DESCRIPTION:Join forces with other volunteers to clean up Sangamore Road in Bethesda\, one of the area roads that KindWorks has “adopted.” We’ll work alongside the Little Falls Watershed Alliance to remove invasive weeds.

(Don’t worry–we’ll get instruction on what to pull before we start.)\n \nSo grab a friend or two and join us to have fun and enjoy the fresh air while helping the environment! We meet at the Starbucks\, set out from there\, and then finish up back at the Starbucks.\n \nStudent Service Learning\nStudents can earn SSL hours. \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\nBethesda Cleanup

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.

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.
