World Food Day
Called A Success

Staff Report

World Food Day, observed
in the Detroit area Oct. 16
with the "Seven Percent
• Solution" project, exceeded
organizers' expectations, ac-
cording to Miriam Schey,
community affairs associate
of the Jewish Community
Council, one of the project's
sponsors.
Forty-nine local restau-
rants pledged to donate seven
percent of their receipts that
day to the Southeastern
Michigan Food Committee
(SEMFCO), Schey said. Or-
ganizers had originally hoped
that 15 eateries world join
the project.
Proceeds from the Seven
Percent Solution will be dis-
tributed by SEMFCO to the
300 emergency food providers
/ in the tri-county area, estab-
lishments which either pro-
• vide
i a hot meal for the needy
on the premises or provide
-, food packages to be taken
home, Schey explained.
While it is "too early to
tell" what the dollar figure in
donations will be, Schey ex-
plained, the real importance
of World Food Day "was not
in dollars raised, but in con-
sciousness raising."
Most of these emergency
food providers are located in
Wayne County, she said but
there are also several in
Macomb County and Oakland
County has between 20 and
30 such establishments.

Fire Closes
Thrift Shop

Staff report

The B'nai B'rith Women's
Thrift Shop in Oak.Park will
be closed "hopefully for only
a month" after a fire last
Friday caused smoke and
water damage to the interior
of the store.
Workmen repairing the
roof of the store at 22111
\= Coolidge ignited roofing tar.
The heaviest damage to the
store was to the roof and a
rear storage room from the
tar and water. According to
• Helen Tatarka, Thrift Shop
chairman for the B'nai B'rith
Women's Council, both the
roofer and the shop carry in-
surance.
The shop was waiting to
receive a damage estimate
`,=, from its insurance adjuster,
but Mrs. Tatarka said the
> shop will lose approximately
$5,000 per month in income.
She said that the loss of new
donations of clothing and
furniture while the shop is
closed will be devastating.
Proceeds from the re-sale
shop are used to fund BBW's
philanthropies: local B'nai
B'rith agencies and Hillel
foundations, the Anti-
Defamation League, and the
BBW children's home in Is-
rael.
Mrs. Tatarka said the store
has one paid employee who
works with ten volunteers
each week.
