Capuchin Soup Kitchen - Rosa Parks Children and Youth Program

Rosa Parks Children/Youth Program is a service which is part of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. The service is located at the Conner Soup Kitchen which mostly serves working families and seniors. As many as one-third of its meals are served to children 12 and under. With the introduction of an evening meal at Conner, a nourishing meal awaits children after school and adults after work.

The Rosa Parks Children's Library enriches young minds with more than 15,000 books and tutoring services. Art therapy programs teach them to express their emotions in a productive, creative way.

The Children's Peace Garden, children plan, plant, and maintain flowers, vegetables and herbs while learning the value of work and their own self worth. As they care for the earth, they are taught to respect it and each other.
