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.
