ROYAL OAK, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) — A Michigan woman has spent days preparing Thanksgiving meals for kids in need. She said it's not the food, but the sense of family that they need most.

Lighthouse offers shelter, essential services and meals. And on Thanksgiving, the meal is special, of course, created by Carter for the program's young people.
