NORTHVILLE, Mich. – It doesn’t matter who you are or where you live, there’s a good chance you know someone right now who is struggling to make ends meet.
Michigan’s jobless is hitting a high of 12.6 percent. Many have nowhere to turn and barely enough to feed their families.
But a new program is offering a twinkle of light at the end of the tunnel. Ward Presbyterian Church in Northville Township has partnered with Southfield-based Hiller’s Market to offer “Grace Groceries.”
It works like this: You pay $30 up front, and Hiller’s Market gives you enough groceries to feed a family of four for five meals, including meat loaf, pork chops, chicken breasts, pasta and sausage and tacos.
There is such a demand, dozens lined up before the signup session even started. Organizers say there are no restrictions; if you eat, you qualify, no questions asked.
My dad asked me to put this up, and so I did. Yes, my dad IS Alan Adler, so if you know him or me, please leave a comment!
