Those seeking food from the pantry are asked to make an appointment by calling 313-925-0514. The Capuchin Services Center will distribute these pantry items on a drive-thru basis. Social workers will be available. In-kind donations such as clothing are not being accepted until further notice to cut down on travel and traffic.
The Capuchin Soup Kitchen’s two residential programs remain safely in operation. Those two programs are Jefferson House, a residential substance abuse treatment program for formerly homeless men, and On the Rise Bakery, a residential job training program for formerly incarcerated men.
The bakery is currently producing food for its soup kitchens rather than for retail sales. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen’s Earthworks Urban Farm remains in operation with a skeleton crew to keep seedlings and transplants alive for vegetable production for our soup kitchens and distribution for the community.
