Falon’s Chicken Soup Hotline
Falon’s Chicken Soup Hotline is a student-led, volunteer initiative that delivers hot matzo ball soup to sick students, at no cost. Students have the option of chicken or vegetarian matzo ball soup and each order comes with kosher cough drops and pocket-sized tissues as well!
The Inspiration Behind the Hotline
This initiative is a tribute to the vibrant and compassionate spirit of Falon Morris. Her optimistic mindset and outlook on life remain a constant inspiration for the Penn State community. We carry her legacy forward through every delivery, aiming to share the same sense of hope and care that Falon naturally brought to those around her. By forging meaningful connections and cultivating uplifting moments, we ensure her message of kindness continues to reach students across University Park.
The Falon Morris Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to implementing community initiatives that empower others and improve the outlook of everyone they touch. Through these efforts, the foundation shares Falon’s story and teaches the emotional intelligence and compassion she lived by. We invite all who value spreading love and warmth to support this mission by donating to or volunteering with the foundation.
