Saturday morning, FBMJ attorneys and staff worked on cultivating, planting and garden bed preparation at Earthworks Urban Farm, an organic farm, which produces tens of thousands of pounds of produce. Part of the farm’s mission is to educate the community in regards to sustainable relationships between human beings and the earth. Earthworks Urban Farm supplies fresh produce to support local, sustainable food supply for the neighboring community and guests of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit. Earthworks is a program of Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Together they not only provide meals to Detroit residents, but also strive to create a food-just Detroit, one in which all people have control over their food. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen is a human service organization inspired by the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and sponsored by the Capuchin Friars of the Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order.
FBMJ Cares deeply about our community and gives back through multiple programs established though their charitable program FBMJ Cares.
