Capuchin Soup Kitchen’s 48th annual fundraiser helps feed those in need
The 48th Annual SOCK (Support Our Capuchin Kitchen) Fundraiser will take place virtually and live on WDIV Local 4 from6 a.m. to 8 p.m. as an all- day telethon on Thursday, Oct. 1.
This event is sponsored by Madison Heights-based business Shelving Inc. It is the largest annual fundraiser for the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, which serves people struggling with poverty, hunger, homelessness and substance abuse and provides them with meals, hospitality and more.
“2020 has been a challenging year for everybody. For those of us ministering with guests at our Capuchin Soup Kitchen sites, we temporarily redesigned our approach from the ground up during the height of the public health crisis — serving takeaway meals, ensuring social distancing at our sites and focusing on three fundamental services: distribution of meals and pantry foods, access to our social workers, and the safe continuation of our two residential programs,” said Brother Jerry Johnson, executive director of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen.
“The annual SOCK event is a key component of whatmakes it possible for us to continue this work. We are grateful for so many generous benefactors over many years who have supported the work we do to ease suffering in our communities.”
