Chicken Soup Hotline
We, at the Hillel JUC, understand how it feels to get a phone call from your sick child at school. While we’re not doctors, we know a good remedy for sick college students and just what Jewish parents want for their children… a bowl of hot chicken soup with matzah balls (vegetarian option available).
Chicken Soup is an age old formula that is now confirmed by medical research as a remedy for the common cold.
The Chicken Soup Hotline is easy and convenient…
Step 1: Join the Chai Circle or Full Circle
Step 2: Contact us when your child is sick (see contact info below)
Step 3: We deliver hot chicken soup to your child’s dorm or apartment.
Step 4: We call you back after the soup is delivered to your child to let you know how they are doing.
