Shelving.com proudly supports the hard work and dedication of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit, MI. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen works tirelessly to help improve the lives of the less fortunate, and to provide for the basic needs of the disadvantaged.
The Capuchin Soup Kitchen was founded on core Franciscan beliefs, inspired by St Francis of Assisi, more than 125 years ago. The philosophy and tradition of the Capuchin's is based upon the idea that the Good News is available to all people, rich or poor, and that service to those in need is truly a service to a greater cause. The Capuchin's strive to uphold these essential values by caring for those who require aid or assistance.
The Capuchin Soup Kitchen Today
The Detroit Capuchin Soup Kitchen is involved in the local community in many ways. They provide a locally sourced daily Meal Program to hundreds of men, women and children, and their Services Center provides emergency food, clothing and medical care to area residents. The Soup Kitchen has established and maintains a 2.5 acre organic urban farming program within the city limits in an effort to restore balance to the environment and community, providing sustainable local agriculture.
