MIFA friends,
This month marks the beginning of a busy spring at MIFA! As we prepare for our various upcoming events and
campaigns, I’m excited to tell you about a few of the highlights.
Mark your calendars for Day of Reflection and Service, which will be held at MIFA on Saturday, April 6. The
winner of our Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Teen Oratorical Contest is the keynote speaker at that event each year,
and in this issue of Hope in Action, we’ve included excerpts from our ten finalists’ submissions to the contest.
Students, staff, and mentors work very hard to make this program a success each year, and the products of their
labor are outstanding—please take a moment to review these inspiring words from our students beginning on
page five.
Also be on the lookout in the coming weeks for our exciting spring campaigns like March for Meals and the
No-Go Gala. And I hope you’ll use the envelope in this issue of the magazine to support the Plus-1 program—
quite simply, the more money we raise for that program, as for all of our programs, the more people we can
help, so please help us spread the word!
Thanks for all you continue to do to support MIFA.
Sincerely,
Sally Jones Heinz
Executive Director
The FY2012 MIFA annual report is now
available online at mifa.org/financials.
Our vision: Uniting the community through service.
Our mission: Supporting the independence of vulnerable seniors and families in crisis through high-impact programs.

Plus-1 adds up
A client recently came to Emergency Services with a utility cutoff notice. Both of her legs
were broken in a recent car accident, and because she had been at her job for less than
a year, her benefits didn’t cover her loss of work. Through Emergency Services and the
Plus-1 program, we were able to stop the cutoff and arrange a payment plan with MLGW.
Stories like this are all too common: nearly half of our clients are forced to seek assistance
for medical reasons; another 20% are seniors; and many others are struggling to find
work.
For 30 years, Plus-1 has allowed MLGW customers to add a dollar or more to their utility
bills to support their neighbors in need. Every dollar raised goes directly to MIFA to help
keep the power on for families in crisis.
Last year, Plus-1 prevented utility cutoffs for 1,300 people. In FY12, more than 1,700 new
donors gave an average of $2.61 per month to the program; their support will allow us to
help an additional 270 families.
Support for Plus-1 doesn’t only come from individuals—groups and congregations contribute as well. Members of The Girls’ Bridge Club, led by Dorothy Newman, decided a
few years ago to pool their money at Christmas and make a substantial gift to MIFA. They
give about $500 each year.
If you already give to Plus-1, we want to thank you. If you aren’t yet a contributor, we ask
for your help—about 2% of MLGW customers currently give. As Mayor Wharton said,
“If every MLGW customer donated $1 per month, we could help over 20,000 families
per year!”

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Teen Oratorical Contest
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Teen
Oratorical Contest was created to offer local
teens an opportunity to put their oratorical
skills to work, to engage in friendly competition with their peers, and to be matched with
mentors who guide them through the revision
process. This year’s contest is open to COOL
students; the 12 finalists were announced at
MIFA’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration, and the winner will deliver the keynote address at Day of Reflection and Service
on Saturday, April 6.
Participants were asked to look to their futures
this year, and to outline their plans to pursue
higher education. The following excerpts were
taken from the finalists’ speeches.
Clarissa Williams (first place winner)
Sophomore, Central High School
Career aspiration: Registered nurse
“When I first stepped into a children’s hospital, I automatically knew I wanted to have a career there. I saw all the children lying in their sick beds, and I
wanted to go help each and every one. It would have warmed my heart to walk
in their room to give their parents good news.”
Cenisha Hines (second place winner)
Senior, Middle College High School
Career aspiration: Criminal attorney
“The MIFA COOL program has allowed my level of courage and confidence
to skyrocket. Before entering this program, I was a mediocre student with a
low grade point average and the lack of desire to succeed. Now I have built-in
confidence to do nothing but succeed.”
Camil Coleman (third place winner)
Senior, Hollis F. Price Middle College High School
Career aspiration: Forensics
“A leader is someone who is strong-minded, reliable, open-minded, caring, and
giving. I lead in order for others to follow.”
Michael Curtis
Junior, Central High School
Career aspiration: Pharmacist
“I love to volunteer and mentor younger children. It’s obvious that I enjoy partaking in developmental organizations that benefit the community while bettering
me as a growing young man.”

Morgan Dixon
Senior, Memphis Health Careers Academy
Career aspiration: Undecided
Jovita Jones-Cage
Career aspiration: Plastic surgeon
“At the end of the day, to change this world we cannot conform to it.
We have to do what is right, even if it contradicts what society says is
right, and we as leaders have to take the first step and do it together.”
“Failing is not an option for me; education is my gateway to a
better life.”
Breana Dove
Senior, Central High School
Career aspiration: Computer engineer
Brandon Morris
Career aspiration: Design studio owner
“I see myself as a highly successful young woman, giving back by donating, not just to charities, but also to neighborhood organizations to
reconstruct damaged buildings or homes and apartment complexes in the
area. I would love to see the communities of Memphis improve and I would certainly be
happy to give as much of myself as possible.”
Ke’von Eskridge
Junior, Overton High School
Career aspiration: Actor/computer engineer/professional golfer
“I would like to thank MIFA COOL for giving me those opportunities to experience new things and broaden my landscape, and for
believing in me and my goals.”
Eneso Humphrey
Career aspiration: Attorney
“I hope to someday become an attorney specializing in civil rights. Civil
rights are the rights of people to political and social freedom and equality.
I have a strong belief in civil rights of citizens in the United States of
America. I am inspired by leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.”

“I was first interested in art at a young age, but I was never able
to attend classes and receive the correct teachings to become one of
the masters. I had to cope by doing my own independent study and
drawing with different techniques. Building this studio and creating this business
would help many people that had to learn to draw the hard way, as I did.”
Chrysta Smith
Senior, Memphis Academy of Health Sciences
Career aspiration: Nurse practitioner
“Martin Luther King’s legacy is shaped around keeping his dream
alive. As I embrace my postsecondary aspirations, the MIFA
COOL program has encouraged me to fulfill that dream.”
Thomas Williams
Career aspiration: Undecided
“Another essential part of managing time wisely is resisting the urge
to procrastinate. Procrastination is the enemy of all students. Not
only that, it is a major waste of time.”

MIFA honors Dr. King’s legacy
On Monday, January 21, MIFA held its annual observance of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. Rev. Dorothy Sanders Wells of Church of the
Holy Apostles in Collierville delivered a moving keynote address about
MIFA’s founding and the importance of keeping Dr. King’s dream alive in
our youth. The program also featured musical contributions from Haley
Harris and COOL student Kayla Little.
During the celebration, the 12 finalists in MIFA’s Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. Teen Oratorical Contest were announced. This annual competition,
sponsored by Nina and Matthew Thornton, is open to COOL students,
with prizes awarded to the top three winners. The first-place winner will
deliver the keynote address at MIFA’s Day of Reflection and Service on
Saturday, April 6.
PLEASE JOIN US ON SATURDAY, APRIL 6, AT 10 A.M.

Julie & Craig Wright teach
their sons the value of service
One of MIFA’s core values is to serve individuals and the community
as an act of faith.
For Julie and Craig Wright, and their sons Will (10) and Ben (7), helping
MIFA serve our neighbors is not only a way to put their faith into action, but also an opportunity to spend time together giving back to the
community as a family.
Julie first learned about MIFA in high school when she delivered Meals
on Wheels with other students from St. Agnes Academy as part of
her community service commitment. On the recommendation of her
friend and MIFA board vice-chair Amy Poag, she returned years later
to serve as a member of the development committee, spearheading the
MIFA Champions young donor society. Her successful efforts to attract
supporters from the 30-50 year age group were recognized when she
was named 2011 Development Volunteer of the Year. She and Craig,
a senior vice-president at Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance, have also served
on several occasions as hosts for the annual Feed the Soul fundraising
event and the No-Go Gala.
Of their decision to introduce their sons to MIFA during the recent holiday Family Service Day, Julie says, “As parents, we continually remind
our children that there are so many people in need in our community.
As Catholics, we are willingly compelled to think outside ourselves and
look for ways to edify others. Being involved with MIFA helps us nurture that mindset in our boys.”
For Craig, Will, Julie, and Ben Wright, giving back to their
community is a family affair. They recently participated in Family
Service Day at MIFA.

Families sharing and serving together
MIFA recently welcomed more than 50 energetic young volunteers and their families for our Family Service Day event and related winter
break Meals on Wheels deliveries.
Starting with conversations about poverty in our community on their drives to MIFA, children and adults then gathered in the new Family
Center where they made colorful, personalized holiday cards for our senior Meals clients. Next, everyone had the chance to experience what
it’s like to grow older in a series of hands-on activities simulating limited mobility, impaired vision, and other physical challenges of aging.
Equipped with new understanding of how MIFA’s high-impact programs work to support the independence of vulnerable seniors, our newly
trained volunteers helped pack coolers before heading out to deliver Meals and share the holiday spirit with their neighbors.
As one mom commented, “We can tell our children about the good work MIFA does, but nothing compares to actually experiencing what it
means to serve. Thank you for opening their eyes – and their hearts – to the needs of others.”
