What is the best place in USA to see soup kitchens?

I`m writing an essay about poverty in USA for an Argentine newspaper.I will travel to the United States on July , what place is better, Detroit or Cleveland ? I know that there have been 600.000 lay-off per month overthere, I bet the soup kitchens will be massive.

1. Too bad you have such a depressing topic. You can find those facilities in any large city in North America. For the two cities you name, your choice is "six of one, a half dozen of another'
2. Detroit has been hit much harder by the recession than Cleveland; the unemployment rate in Detroit is 10.6 percent and in Cleveland it is 7.1 percent.
