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.
