“We consider this kind of creative community involvement an important part of our mission,” said Joel VandenBrink, founder & CEO of Two Beers Brewing. “The team from Lifelong have all been long time supporters of the brewery, and we’re excited to be able to return the favor on an annual basis with this delicious beer.”

“Chicken Soup Brigade is so grateful for this partnership with Two Beers. Without support from civic-minded local businesses like the brewery, Chicken Soup Brigade would not be there for the most vulnerable people in our community.” added Paul Getzel, Director of Chicken Soup Brigade.

About Lifelong
Lifelong has been a leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS since 1983, when we first passed a soup can around Volunteer Park and collected $42 to help feed, house and stand by those who were fighting this disease. Building on our rich experience of caring for the most vulnerable and marginalized individuals, we are now serving people with a wide diversity of other serious illnesses, especially those disproportionally affected by health disparities. Among our services is Chicken Soup Brigade (CSB), Lifelong’s food and nutrition program. Always delivered with both clinical skill and a warm heart, CSB is the only nonprofit kitchen in the Pacific Northwest that delivers nutritious, balanced, and medically appropriate meals to people living with debilitating conditions, free of charge.
