I don't think it's going to fully sink in until we cash our checks." With their winnings, club members plan to live debt-free. The Michigan Lottery offers several Fast Cash instant-win games.

Hamtramck city manager placed on leave amid tense city council meeting
Hamtrack's city manager was placed on administrative leave Tuesday amid a tense city council meeting to discuss the suspension of Police Chief Jamiel Altaheri. During the hours-long meeting, which was expected to discuss whether to reinstate Altaheri, the council voted to suspend City Manager Max Garbarino while an investigation is ongoing. The investigation stems from allegations that Altaheri abused his power, resulting in Garbarino announcing the suspension of the police chief and an officer. On Friday, Garbarino said he received credible evidence of serious allegations involving city leaders and has taken "appropriate and responsible steps to address credible allegations of illegal and unethical conduct within our police department and among elected officials." Several community members spoke at Tuesday's meeting before it became heated as Ghalib and Garbarino exchanged words. "How do you feel that you deprived him (Altaheri) of staying here to defend himself and to make things clear for the public, but you ask for your right to defend yourself right now, and you took like 20 minutes?" said Ghalib. "Across the whole nation, if you're suspected of this, you are put on administrative leave. This is how this works," Garbarino said. The next council meeting is scheduled for June 10. In a statement provided to CBS News Detroit last week, Altaheri said, "I call on the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, State Police and FBI to follow up on these false accusations and all those behind these fabricated stories."

Northville food bank in dire need of donations
A local food bank in Wayne County, Michigan, is urging the public to donate canned food. The nonprofit is in dire need of donations. For 42 years, Civic Concern in Northville has been a resource for the community, a go-to spot for drop-off donations, and a reliable food bank for families in need. CBS Detroit "Northville Civic Concern has a mission and that's to make lives a little bit better for our volunteers, for the community and most…for our folk," said director Marlene Kunz. Kunz says the nonprofit serves 150 families, and while that number has always risen, donations have recently dwindled. "My fear is that we may have to go to once a month, and I'm not going to do that because over 40 years they've had food every other week," Kunz stated. CBS Detroit With federal cuts and tariffs, costs are higher, which Kunz says may contribute to the nonprofit's empty shelves. However, she's committed to the community and hopes folks will turn this dire need for donations around. "People are concerned about summertime, how they're going to get through it. I don't blame them. One can. With 28,000 people in the city and the township, we can do this," Kunz said. Jennie Macy regularly drops off canned goods on behalf of her church. "I knew they were in need to restock their shelves, especially with summer coming. Kids won't have lunches at school anymore, so they'll need more products from Northville Civic Concern to help them," Mazy said. CBS Detroit A nonprofit's call to the community is to feed families needing extra support. "I need food. Our mission is food. Whatever anybody can do, please do," said Kunz. The organization is located in the Highland Lakes Shopping Center at 43275 Seven Mile Road in Northville, and anyone can drop off donations there. The food bank needs the following items: Canned Fruit Canned Meat: chicken, tuna, stews, chili mix Canned Soup Canned Vegetables: peas, corn, green beans, mixed Canned Pasta: Spaghetti O's, etc. Baked Beans, Pork & Beans Cereal Instant Oatmeal Packs Pasta Sauce Pasta Noodles Boxed Macaroni & Cheese Side Dishes: Rice-A-Roni, Knorr's, etc. Healthy Snacks: breakfast bars, snack bars For more information on the food bank, visit Civic Concern's website.
