u-s-history.com When soup kitchens first appeared, they were run by churches or private charities. The Capuchin Services Center in southeast Detroit, for example, served 1,500 to 3,000 people a day. That center opened on November 2, 1929. Volunteers of America also was important in setting up soup kitchens all over America. By the mid-1930s, state and federal governments also were operating them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wikihistoria.wikispaces.com Herbert Hoover's Creation of Soup Kitchens "Prosperity, is just around the corner", is something that Hoover said quite often. This is because he wanted to reassure the people that we would get through this, but some thought "Where is this corner and when is it coming?". Things got pretty bad and Hoover wanted to find more ways to help those in need. He decided to make soup kitchens and breadlines, which gave food to those who had no money and were starving. But the government weren't the only people who had soup kitchens, or something along those lines. Churches and missionaries often had them, and surprisingly enough the famous gangster Al Capone had one in Chicago as a publicity stunt. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
