Falon’s Chicken Soup Hotline

Falon’s Chicken Soup Hotline is a warm-hearted, student-run initiative at Penn State Hillel that delivers hot matzo ball soup—either chicken or vegetarian—along with cough drops and tissues to students feeling under the weather, completely free of charge! Operating during the academic year, soup orders must be placed before 3 PM, and deliveries from student volunteers occur between 5 and 8 PM, Monday through Thursday. This group embodies the Jewish value Bikur Cholim – visiting and caring for the sick. If you’re interested in volunteering Penn State Hillel invites students to apply as ‘Wellness Interns’ to help cook and deliver soup! You can also find out more on our website by using this link! We’d love you to join the Wellness Fellow team! Click here to apply.

Falon’s Chicken Soup Hotline is named for Falon Morris, of blessed memory. Falon had a way of making  each of her family members and friends feel special. She was a wonderful, supportive, and devoted daughter, sister, friend, granddaughter and cousin. She was an incredibly beautiful person inside and out with great insight, sensitivity, and intellect. Falon adored her three younger siblings who loved her so very much.

In order to truly honor Falon’s life, be kind to one another, love one another, and share a random act of kindness as she would. Falon’s Chicken Soup Hotline is named for Falon to embody her legacy of “sprinkling kindness everywhere.”
