Tzedakah We Love Monday: Project Chicken Soup

December first was World AIDS Day, and the entire month of December is HIV/AIDS Awareness Month. That being the case, I thought it might be nice to aim our tzedekah accordingly. Enter Project Chicken Soup, an organization serving the greater Los Angeles area with a simple yet wonderful goal. Project Chicken Soup, a part of Los Angeles Jewish AIDS Services, gets healthy kosher meals to people living with HIV/AIDS in LA County, and recently received The Congressional Hunger Center's 2007 Victory Against Hunger Award for their hard work. And, they, like most organizations, need support.

You can PayPal them to donate, rock the lapel pin, order the cookbook, or, far better, you can read the volunteer page, show up on any of these dates and help them cook and deliver meals. Also, if you know someone looking for a B'nai Mitzvah project, Project Chicken Soup can help you with that, too.

AmyGuth

Amy Guth is the author of Three Fallen Women, which she is perpetually schlepping around to pimp out. Between travels, she's hard at work on her next novels and is the woman with the pink-stripey hair usually starting up the horah at MOT get-togethers. Keeping true to her stick-it-to-the-man Hebrew namesake (Shifreh), she has written about feminism, sexism, tikkun olam, tzedekah, blaxploitation, social reform, media literacy and all sorts of other things for The Believer, Monkeybicycle, Bookslut, Hungry Chicago, Four Magazine, JewishFringe.com, and The Complete Meal, among others. She blogs Bigmouth indeed Strikes Again about everything, Granola Bar D'var about Jewy eco-kasher goodness, and a few other blogs here and there, has collaborated on a few shows within Second City's Training Center and is an assistant fiction editor at 42 Opus. The select few remember the days when she dabbled in improv, as well, including the night she was the "Kill Whitey" crayon. Stalk her silly at Guth-a-Go-Go.com.
