Feeding the
Hungry
D
espite all of the odds against
them due to COVID, the non-
profit Higher Hopes!, founded
by Bill Birndorf, has finalized plans to
move forward with its Thanksgiving
program. Higher Hopes! will be cele-
brating its seventh annual Thanksgiving
food distribution of 1,000 meal kits to
families that have
children enrolled in
Head Start childcare
partnership pro-
grams in the city of
Detroit.
Each Thanksgiving
kit contains a 12- to
14-pound turkey,
stuffing, Michigan
potatoes, yams, all
of the ingredients
for green bean cas-
serole, chicken broth, Jiffy Corn Muffin
Mix, cranberry sauce, apples, spices and
Coca Cola products, all topped off with
Cooper Street Cookies for dessert and
much more.
During the pandemic, Higher Hopes!
has been able to provide nourishing
35- to 45-pound meal kits each month
to at least 1,000 families with children
enrolled in Early Head Start Childcare
Partnership Programs throughout
Southeast Michigan.
“This has definitely been an interest-
ing year — quite different than what
we’
ve ever experienced,” Birndorf said
in a press release. “There are 1.4 million
people in Michigan who struggle with
hunger and food insecurities, 356,930
of whom are children. That number is
rising. With many schools on virtual
instruction, children that rely on getting
two of their three meals at school con-
tinue to be at risk.”
Higher Hopes! is beginning a fund-
raising campaign to support November’
s
Thanksgiving event and monthly food
pass outs for 2021. Goal: $100,000.
