SPOTLIGHT
F
or the ninth year in
a row Higher Hopes!
will be providing 1,000
Detroit area families full
Thanksgiving meals through
its “1,000 Turkeys, 10,000
Smiles” program. The kits
contain everything from a
delicious turkey to all the
sides and dessert and provide
enough food to feed 12 to 16
people.
This year, participating
families will be given a $50
gas card to help alleviate
the problems caused by
rising gas prices. In 2021,
Higher Hopes! was able to
provide 400 families with gas
cards, but after seeing what
a difference it made, the
decision was made to ensure
all 1,000 families would
receive this benefit in 2022.
In addition to the
Thanksgiving meal program,
Higher Hopes! continues to
support 1,000 families with
monthly meal kits, each
containing 35-45 lbs of fresh,
nutritious foods. These go to
families who have children
enrolled in Early Head Start
Child Care Programs. The
kits contain proteins such as
chicken, pork or beef, fresh,
frozen, canned fruits and
vegetables, grains like pasta
and cereal, milk, eggs, fruit
juice and more.
“Higher Hopes! Heroes
invest time and money to
provide households with
access to sufficient, nutritious
food,” says Higher Hopes!
founder, Bill Birndorf. “This
is accomplished through
collaborations, efficient
operations, education and
innovative solutions to
battle hunger in the Metro
Detroit area. The faces of
hunger may surprise you.
Many who need assistance
are middle-class families, the
working poor, children and
the elderly. No one should
suffer from a lack of access to
quality and nutritious food.
Giving families the ability
to celebrate the holidays
with loved ones in their own
home is at the core of the
Higher Hopes! mission.”
Approximately 1.4 million
people struggle with hunger
and food insecurities in
the state of Michigan, with
approximately 400,000 of
those people being children.
Higher Hopes! is an
agency partner of Gleaners
Food Bank, and through its
mobile pantry platform, it is
able to distribute meal kits
containing 35-45 pounds
of food every month to
families who have children
enrolled in the Early Head
Start Childcare Partnership
Programs throughout
Southeastern Michigan.
