July 10, 2018, Detroit – In her latest blog for the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, Sister Nancyann Turner, OP, reflects on the much-needed gift of hope. In a city where people can be overwhelmed by poverty, Sister Nancyann finds hope in the various programs offered by the soup kitchen and by the initiatives of the people involved.
