Thank you!
Many thanks to everyone who participated in and attended our 2011 Day of Reflection and Service, sponsored by ServiceMaster! We had a well-attended program with great music, a moving speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Oratorical Contest winner Kiyah Anderson, and an opportunity to recognize our wonderful volunteers. Photos of the event will be posted soon.
MIFA volunteers teamed up with volunteers from UrbanArts and ServiceMaster for a board-up and mural painting project in MIFA’s midtown neighborhood.
In addition to painting the murals on this vacant building at Linden Avenue and Dudley Street, volunteers from Memphis City Beautiful, Clean Memphis and ServiceMaster cleaned six nearby alleys and vacant lots, and boarded up two vacant houses on South Camilla Street near Peabody Avenue.
