Dix Hills, NY - September 19, 2017 - Teens from The Chai Center’s CTeen chapter in Dix Hills (CTEEN West Suffolk County) took over the kitchen and cooked enough meals for 100 people whose families are facing major health issues – coping with a sick parent and/or child. The teens peeled, boiled and baked for several hours making chicken stir fry, potatoes, vegetables and soup – ensuring these families have a joyous feast during the upcoming Jewish High Holiday season. The food will be distributed by Bikur Cholim, a volunteer-based organization that provides support for the needs of the medically distressed.
