62 | NOVEMBER 10 • 2022 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.
