Earthworks is a program of Capuchin Soup Kitchen. This organization not only feeds Detroit residents, but also strives to create a food-just Detroit, one in which all people have control over their food. Volunteer work will vary depending on the time of year and will range from mixing soil, flipping compost, cultivating beds, handling seedlings and other general cleanup tasks.

Please make sure that you come prepared to work by wearing the appropriate clothing: comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required and long pants that you don't mind getting dirty. We also highly recommend that you bring a reusable water bottle, a hat with a brim to keep the sun out of your face and maybe some sun block. We work rain or shine so dressing for the weather is also recommended. Please note that closed-toe shoes are required!

Every year, Kiwanis club members around the world gather on the fourth Saturday in October for Kiwanis One Day. It’s a day set aside for clubs to work together to better their communities — and to invite friends and family to join them. In celebration of Kiwanis One Day 2022, we will be participating in the biannual clean up of a park that we’ve adopted.

When our club started years ago we installed our first Free Little Library at Grant Park. Every spring and fall we find a day to clean the park. We pick up trash and ensure that our Little Free Library is stocked and in good shape for people in the community! Please consider bringing a trash bag and gloves to help us beautify the park!
