Donate Your Birthday
Celebrate your birthday this year with friends and family in a more memorable way by supporting a cause that's important to you. Instead of asking for gifts this year, ask your loved ones for a donation to MIFA. They will be honoring you and supporting vulnerable seniors and families in need.
Getting Started:
- Set a donation goal
- Choose how you want to collect the gifts
- Send out a heartfelt messsage to family and friends sharing why MIFA is important to you and our community
- Share the progress towards your goal - provide updates through Facebook or other social media
Message examples :
- I support MIFA because of the success of MIFA Meals on Wheels and Senior Core Senior Companions programs designed to promote independence, health, and dignity of seniors. These programs provide nourishing meals, caring visits, and help with tasks of daily living for older adults who are homebound or disabled. Join in the celebration by making a donation to MIFA in honor of my birthday.
- Help me make my birthday more meaningful this year by donating to MIFA, a cause that is special to me. MIFA feeds hungry seniors and provides adults and children with basic services and support to prevent homelessness, stablize families in crisis, and encourage independence.
