Capuchin Soup Kitchen: Guffly Gives

In honor of Thanksgiving and all of the upcoming holidays, Guffly would like to support the Capuchin Soup Kitchen of Detroit. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen is a human service organization that serves the poor who suffer from lack of basic human needs. These needs range from material needs like food, clothing and household accessories to psychological and social needs such as motivation and rehab or simply creating a support system. Every person who comes to the soup kitchen for assistance is welcomed, without regard to race, sex, age, color, national origin, religious preference, handicap or income.

We feel pretty darn lucky that we have families and friends to enjoy the holiday season with but our hearts go out to the people that don’t. That’s why Guffly is featuring an extra special Daily Guff! A donation of whatever amount you can afford and Guffly is going to match it dollar for dollar.

The good stuff we’re supporting includes these services provided by the Capuchin Soup Kitchen:

• 2,000 hot meals are frequently served each day at their two locations
• About 300,000 pounds of food distributed per month to families
• About 30,000 articles of clothing given to clients per month
• More than 500 pieces of furniture and appliances given to families each month
• Showers and a change of clothing for up to 30 homeless and poorly housed persons per day
• Jefferson House, a substance abuse treatment program servicing up to 12 indigent men
• A children’s library and art therapy studio serving up to 800 children per month
• A 25,000 square foot urban farm project

See – we’re even considering the environment with the choice of this awesome charity because they have a great urban farm project that’s bringing local food to the kitchen and providing an opportunity for many people!

Get in on the good and help Guffly Give on Thanksgiving Day (and until 11am the morning after) at http://guffly.com
