A Line Outside Al Capone’s Soup Kitchen in Chicago
Al Capone was known as a notorious mob boss, but he knew how to take care of his community. This photo from 1931 shows people lining up outside of his free soup kitchen in Chicago. Capone had established this food bank and shelter during the Great Depression to help the poor and those who were unemployed and in need of three basic meals during the harsh winter months. But while some argued that this was all a stunt to cover his true nature, his soup kitchen did help people out.
