(WJBK) - Don't let their ages fool you! Emma and Robby Eimers, 10 and 13, are taking over Fox 2's Cooking School: making baked breaded chicken. But they're not your average cooks. Founders of the Eimers Foundation, they started feeding the homeless four years ago.

Chef Heather Moore of the Culinary Arts Program at Schoolcraft College is fundraising for the Eimers Foundation, by hosting an evening called "Fighting Hunger in the D." It is a food and wine tasting event on January 21, 2016 from 6-8:30 p.m. at The Great Lakes Culinary Center in Southfield. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go towards helping the Eimers Foundation with their goal of purchasing a food truck to help feed more homeless people of Detroit.
