MIFA friends,
We’ve been talking about volunteers a lot lately–and for good reason! MIFA was founded by volunteers, its
programs were started by volunteers, and our volunteers sustain us today.
From the beginning, volunteers provided strategic guidance and created programs, and MIFA served as their
incubator. As you know, some programs started at MIFA and later spun off and remained successful elsewhere—
like The Mid-South Food Bank, The Best Times, and Child Advocacy Center. Others never quite took flight
and were discontinued. And others are still in operation today, like Transit, which you’ll learn about in the
following pages.
Volunteers play many roles at MIFA, often exceeding the expectations of traditional volunteer positions and
providing substantive leadership for programs. From the first VISTAs who breathed life into programs that have
endured 40 years of agency and environmental changes, to today’s meal deliverers and advocates and strategic
thinkers and planners, the volunteers who have stuck by us for decades or who have come on board this week,
every supporter has value.
So whether you deliver Meals on Wheels once a year or MIFA is a weekly destination, thank you. Volunteers
and supporters have made our good work possible for 44 years, and you continue to be an inspiration.
Sincerely,
Executive Director

Transit keeps on rolling
Transit started in the summer of 1974—it was MIFA’s first program—with one
driver and a borrowed Salvation Army bus. Today, a fleet of vehicles transports
seniors to and from medical appointments, senior centers, and on other critical errands. Last year, drivers completed 38,091 trips, safely transporting 618
senior clients—they also proudly reported that no accidents occurred in FY11.
Transit sometimes takes a backseat to our more visible programs like Meals
on Wheels; it’s steady and dependable and requires no fanfare. But clients like
Mattie help us understand the profound effect this simple service has. A resident
of Linden Camilla Towers who rides the van to Bickford Senior Center for
meals and activities every day, as she has done for 12 years, Mattie says, “I just
thank God for MIFA and for our driver because now I have somewhere to go
and a way to get there.”
That driver, named Will Collier, delivers about 20 seniors from their homes all
over Downtown and North Memphis to Bickford every day. He has been with
the program for 15 years and says of his riders, “They’re my babies. I call them
my little angels.” And the appreciation is mutual—Mattie says, “We have a
good driver—he’s patient. And one thing I know is, no matter what, he’s always
coming.”
Who knew something that started with a borrowed bus nearly 40 years ago
could still have such an impact?
In May, the Transit program bid farewell to its manager of 12 years, Ronald Jackson.
Ron has provided exemplary leadership to his team, and we wish him the best in all his
future endeavors.
Transit driver Will Collier delivers about 20 seniors from their Downtown
and North Memphis homes to Bickford Senior Center each day.

MIFA holds annual Day of Reflection
and Service
Each year, MIFA holds a Day of Reflection and Service, sponsored by
ServiceMaster, to honor its staff and volunteers, as well as the legacy of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. At this year’s event, Mayor AC Wharton, Jr. recognized the organizers of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Teen Oratorical
Contest, Dionne Jones, Carlos Royston, and Nina Thornton. The contest winner, Joshua Johnson of Central High School, delivered the keynote address.
The program’s special award winners were Ellen Klyce and Sheila Griggs,
long-time MIFA Meals on Wheels volunteers; Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church and Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church; David Waters of The
Commercial Appeal; Bob Bernstein; Joyce “J.B.” Bishop; fred’s Super Dollar;
ARAMARK; and Allie Prescott. MIFA’s programs also recognized 40 volunteers for their dedicated service to the organization.
Other highlights included music provided by Lisa Robinson and New
Sardis Youth and Young Adult Choir, art exhibits by Loretta Petty and
Emery Franklin, and a check presentation to MIFA by ServiceMaster.
Peter Tosches, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at
ServiceMaster, served as the event’s emcee.

2012 No-Go Gala features local artists
Each year, MIFA’s No-Go Gala offers a unique gift for supporters and invites them to stay home and donate to MIFA instead of attending an event.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of No-Go, and the gift is an exclusive
set of postcards featuring the works of local artists.
Those artists who generously shared their pieces for the gala are Elizabeth
Alley, Nancy Cheairs, Maysey Craddock, Melissa Dunn, Jameson Jones,
Martha Kelly, Carl Moore, Veda Reed, Murray Riss, Jared Small, Dolph
Smith, TWIN, Jeane Umbreit, and Erin Wright. Paulsen Printing
Company donates the printing for the No-Go campaign each year.
On Thursday, May 3, Nancy Cheairs hosted a reception and private viewing of the collection at Flicker Street Studio. Guests had an opportunity to
bid on poster-sized framed prints of the artists’ works.
If you have not already received a No-Go Gala packet in the mail and would like one,
contact Thomas Robinson at (901) 529-4571 or [email protected].
Contributing artists Jeane Umbreit and Veda Reed were in attendance
at the No-Go Gala private viewing on May 3.

Steadfast giving brings light to MIFA
by Linda Marks, Inter-Faith Relations Officer
If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks.
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view,
until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
- Harper Lee, “To Kill A Mockingbird”
MIFA has been helping all kinds of folks get along together for 44 years
by offering opportunities for Memphians to learn about and share, each
other’s burdens and blessings. An important part of helping our neighbors is understanding that the needs are always there: no magic wand of
philanthropy or service will eliminate the challenges of poverty for good.
That is why, on MIFA’s Day of Reflection and Service this year, we chose
to present the Faith in Action award to two congregations who have given
small gifts faithfully over many years. In addition to their financial support,
both congregations have also sent active volunteers to support our Meals
on Wheels program.
Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church in South Memphis has contributed steadfastly to MIFA every month since March of 1997, for a total of
$4,250. The Pilgrim Rest Meals on Wheels volunteers, pictured on the
opposite page, have cheerfully delivered the 530 meals, and more, that the
congregation’s gifts have provided. “They’re a fun group,” says Volunteer
Coordinator Rick Finkey. “I always look forward to their friendly faces
and enthusiastic spirits when they come on Thursday mornings to deliver
Route 31.”
Dorothy Vanderventer, a member of Holy Trinity since 1938, started
Pennies for Hunger.
mifa.org • (901) 527-0208
Pilgrim Rest was founded in 1926 and is led by Rev. Willie C.
Swift. His challenge to the congregation—“We must go beyond
the church walls and be a light to the community”—is stirringly
exemplified by Pilgrim Rest’s loyal support to MIFA.
Since March of 1988, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Southeast
Memphis has supported Meals on Wheels through their Pennies
for Hunger program. Church members put their spare change in
jars and send a monthly check for the amount collected to MIFA.
From its beginning to the present, Pennies for Hunger has contributed $11,000 to MIFA Meals on Wheels. Dorothy Vanderventer,
a member of Holy Trinity since 1938, started Pennies for Hunger.
Each Sunday, she stands at the rear of the church and as the congregants leave, she gently urges them to empty their pockets for
MIFA. She smiles as she describes how she nudges those who are
able to add some bills, or “quiet money” to the coins, which she
calls “rattling money.”
MIFA depends on all kinds of gifts to continue to provide the
highest quality of service to the more than 55,000 neighbors we
serve each year. Large gifts are vital to support our mission, as are
medium gifts, small gifts, online gifts, one-time gifts, and widows’
mites. Just as it takes all of us to make a community, it takes all
of our gifts, and the compassionate spirits they represent, to build
the health and vitality of that community. Join us in honoring
Pilgrim Rest, Holy Trinity, and all who bring light and blessing to
the Mid-South.
