Working the Intercom

Description: Three volunteers are having trouble getting the door to open. Every building has a different security system.

 

On a Sunday in November 2013, student photographer Andrea Goh documented the Chicken Soupers as they prepared, packaged and delivered Jewish kosher meals to people with AIDS, chronic illness, disabilities, and those who are home-bound. Chicken Soupers, volunteers from congregations Beth Sholom and Sherith Israel, have been providing meals since the mid-1980s.

 

The Chicken Soupers series of photos is part of the "Through Our Eyes: Visual Stories of the Richmond Neighborhood" photography project.
