Capuchin needs help collecting new blankets, towels and socks for families across Metro Detroit as the weather gets colder.

Local 4 is partnering with the Capuchin Soup Kitchen to collect new blankets, towels, and socks on Nov. 13.

Local 4 is launching our next Go 4 It action event campaign: Go 4 It Wrapped in Warmth.

As the weather gets cooler, there’s a push to help those in need of basic necessities.

From dishing up meals for the hungry to helping people with addiction, the Capuchins have been serving our community for more than 125 years.

Local 4 is hosting its second-annual Capuchin Soup Kitchen Telethon on Tuesday (Oct. 5) to help provide meals and programs to people struggling to cover their basic needs.

The Capuchin Soup Kitchen is partnering with Local 4 to host their 48th annual Support Our Capuchin Kitchen (SOCK) Fundraiser on Oct. 1. With seven programs at five locations on Detroit’s east side, the soup kitchen helps people struggling with poverty, hunger, homelessness, substance abuse and other challenges. Throughout the day, Local 4 will share with viewers the important and life-changing work that the Capuchin Soup Kitchen has done for the community. Individuals interested in supporting Capuchin Soup Kitchen can also virtually bid on auction items on the SOCK Telethon website right here.
