Detroit’s Community Organizations Are Changing to Meet the Needs of Food Insecure Detroiters During the Pandemic | Eater Detroit
"After receiving a call from a 70-year-old Food for Seniors recipient who had COVID-19 and couldn’t leave her home, I learned how Focus: Hope pivoted quickly to meet urgent needs: the director of food programs recounted delivering food to the woman’s home where her asymptomatic 89-year-old mother stood on the porch and her 92-year-old husband needed assistance. Observing the risk to the roughly 41,000 low-income seniors its Food for Seniors program serves each month, the nonprofit shifted to contact-free options without shutting down—instituting curbside pickup and home delivery to reach seniors, homebound patients, pregnant mothers, and individuals with chronic health issues who couldn’t travel to mobile sites." - Eater
I was lucky to meet founder Eleanor in the 1980's when we worked the Free Press Marathon. We are very happy to help with Focus: HOPE. My husband and I will volunteer more often. The workers here really had things organized.

Incompetent career advisors specifically Tasha Lord. This program is a joke. They will give you an expired check, very incompetent.

Volunteering there to pack food boxes was a great experience. It was great bonding for people getting to know each other. They also had a project ready for those in our group who couldn't stand a long time.
