Memphis restaurants team up for MIFA’s March for Meals!

What if you could support a great cause by dining at one of your favorite Memphis restaurants? Well, now you can, through MIFA’s March for Meals!
March for Meals is a fundraising effort in which MIFA partners with local restaurants to benefit MIFA Meals, a program that delivers hot, nutritious meals to more than 2,300 homebound seniors each weekday. When you dine at any participating restaurant during the month of March, ask how you can show your support for MIFA!

Leading the 2009 March for Meals campaign are WMC-TV’s Joe Birch and Coach John Calipari of the Memphis Tigers. Additional support comes from media sponsor WMC-TV. March for Meals is affiliated with the Meals on Wheels Association of America.

Participating restaurants this year are The Arcade, Bar-B-Q Shop, Bogie’s Deli Midtown, Café Society, D’bo’s Wings and More, Exlines’ Best Pizza in Town, Memphis Pizza Café, Muddy’s Bake Shop, Old Zinnie’s, Patrick’s Steaks and Spirits, Piccadilly, TOPS Bar-B-Q, Wang’s China Bistro and Wang’s Mandarin House.
