Who ran soup kitchens in the 1930s?

Answer 1

I believe that there were soup kitchens, although they were few and far between. They were also called "bread lines". It was just the beginning of the Great Depression and many men were out of work.

Some Trivia

Did you know that Al Capone (yes the gangster) started the Chicago soup kitchen's. He did not start them to "get the public on his side." He was sincere, he saw that the public had a need, and he wanted to help, because financially, he could.

While Al Capone did indeed feed many of the poor there was always a method to his madness and while he gained popularity and trust from the unemployed he also started Unions which gave work to many of the men in need, yet collected large sums of money which were often used in under-handed dealings. (Jimmy Hoffa) started out well, but soon got caught up in the mob. To this day they don't know where his body is located and never will find it.

Answer 2

The soup and bread lines were lines, that people living through The Great Depression, had to wait in, in order to get food from the givers on the street.
