Community Connect Spotlight: Motown Soup

Southfield (CW50) - Motown Soup is a group of all volunteers formed 4 years ago. The organization is based out of Trinity Lutheran Church in Utica. They create and package dry soups and sell them at fairs and on the internet. Motown Soup's profits are donated to different charities that are focused on serving the homeless and the hungry.

On this week's COMMUNITY CONNECT, Lisa Germani sits down with Dan Kennedy from Motown Soup to talk about how the organization has helped raise over $1,082,000 for the community.
