Helping Others New Leader Jeremy Restaurant & Bar aids in food drive. NFTY Michigan adds regional youth director. j A eremy Restaurant & Bar in Keego Harbor is teaming up with Detroit-based Cass Community Social Services (CCSS) to host a holiday canned food drive and help fill the cup- boards of families in the tri-county area who might otherwise go without food this holiday season. Continuing through Tuesday, Dec. 31, Jeremy Restaurant will become a drop-off point to collect canned goods to provide food for the homeless in Detroit. "The need is very real:' said Jeremy Grandon, owner and executive chef of Jeremy Restaurant. "Hunger is a private matter, and the face of hunger could be your grandparent, a friend or neighbor. You might not even know it. Reports estimate that in the tri-county Metro Detroit area, more than 700,000 individuals are wonder- ing where their next meal will come from right now That's scary" CCSS is in need of nonperishable canned and pre-packaged food that contain meat products, such as canned salmon or tuna, soup and canned pasta with meat. Canned vegetables and fruit are also welcomed. "We wanted to do this to make donating to CCSS easier:' added Grandon. "If the col- lection is strong enough, we are looking at expanding the drive. The need doesn't end with the holiday season" Donations can be made at Jeremy Restaurant & Bar, 1978 Cass Lake Road, from 5-9 p.m. Sundays and from 5-10 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
