The Shelving Store is a proud supporter of the dedicated work & commitment of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, located in Detroit, MI. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen works tirelessly to help provide the basic needs to the homeless, less fortunate & disadvantaged.

Founded on core Franciscan beliefs, the Capuchins developed a religious mission to live and work among the poor, providing both spiritual counseling as well as meals and nourishment. Inspired by St Francis of Assisi, 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 Mission

• Help with people's basic needs, especially the need for food

• Work to nourish mind and spirits

• Address the root causes of social injustice in our community

• In all we do, we seek to build alliances with others who share a commitment to this vision.
