Ways to join the Champions

Join the Champions by giving $500 or more to MIFA annually through any combination of gifts. There are lots of ways to give, like sending holiday cards to your loved ones or attending our Feed the Soul event. Here are some examples:

  • Give a Champions gift of $500. $500 feeds a homebound senior for three months
  • Give over time with a monthly gift of $45. Each $45 provides 16 hours of companionship for a critically ill senior
  • Buy tickets to Feed the Soul. Each $40 ticket is a ticket to someone’s future: an inner city teen’s college application fee
  • Buy a table at Feed the Soul. A gift of $800 underwrites an evening of financial education and parenting training for adults in MIFA’s transitional housing, and a gift of $2,500 keeps a family in housing for three months
  • Send holiday cards to friends and family. Send 10 cards, and your gift of $100 will train a volunteer to advocate for residents of nursing homes
  • Don’t go to the No-Go Gala. $200 prevents a utility cutoff for a family in temporary crisis
  • Honor someone with a tribute gift. $20 delivers two seniors to and from their doctors’ appointments
  • Join the Circle of Hope with a gift of $1,000 or more. $1,000 builds two wheelchair ramps for the disabled.
