As a native Detroiter I grew up around people who are in need. I myself being one of those people, growing up in the Cass Corridor. 2 kids and 2 parents in a one bedroom apartment. My heart goes out to those who haven't had the opportunity to rise above because of race or economic barriers. I will always support an organization that provides basic human needs and doesn't have a million dollar CEO. My money will find an easier path to those who need it. Love you
I have been serviced by the Capuchin's more than once. I am so very grateful for their existence. I was in need and they were there for me. What a blessing. As I read the only other review of the Capuchin's organization I felt that I had to let others know that this is a place that will help you any way that they can. I am really suprised to not see more reviews of their services. They are now advocating for Urban farming and they are teaching the community children how to be a part of their neighborhood. This gives them something to do with their time and that is something that the inner city children are lacking. Thanks, St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order for being there!
Review from Guidestar
The Capuchins offer a soup kitchen and support for the homel;ess in a very blighted section of Detroit. The brothers are an inspriation with their cherrful attitude in service to those most impacted by the recessions. The Soup kitchen offers a warm meal to those in need which is especuiially important and 16% of the nation's population are at risk for hunger.
The Father Slonaus Casey center is loacted in the Monestary which provides a link to a revered figure in Detroit's history and a source of hope for people with spiritla, emotional and physical needs.
