Christmas Day Meals

Hundreds of Memphians have made MIFA's Christmas Day meal delivery a family tradition. Wouldn't you like to join them?

Most of our MIFA Meals on Wheels recipients don't have a big holiday dinner to look forward to. Many of them don't have family members in town. And far too many of them will spend Christmas Day alone. But you can help by delivering a hot meal, a gift bag, and some holiday cheer to our clients - you can take your children, sit and visit a while, and walk away with a feeling everyone deserves during the holidays: knowing that you and your family have made the world a little bit better.

Interested? It only takes a couple of hours out of your morning, and the impact you can make for our seniors is tremendous. Beginning in November, call the Christmas Hotline at (901) 529-4529 to reserve your route, and join us at 910 Vance Avenue at 8:30 a.m. on December 25.

Happy holidays!
