Help Feed Hungry Kids Higher Hopes! announces a matching grant program to provide nourishing meal kits each month to 1,000 families with children enrolled in the Detroit Head Start Programs. The goal is to raise $70,000 by Oct. 14, which will be matched by a Gleaners of Southeast Michigan campaign running Oct. 15 through Nov. 15. The expanded food program will fund thousands of addi- tional meal kits for families that will be distributed throughout 2020 and beyond. Higher Hopes! collaborates with Gleaners to provide the complete meal kits each month to 1,000 families. “Gleaners is our main source for food. This year, Higher Hopes! with community support, will purchase approximately 400,000 pounds to ensure families at the Head Starts we serve get the healthy food they need for their kids to reach their full poten- tial, ” says Bill Birndorf, president of Higher Hopes! “We are so thankful for Gleaners’ willingness to help us grow our ability to serve those families. This matching grant program will truly aid our efforts to keep doing what we do best. ” Contributions can be made at higherhopesdetroit.org.
