Assemble Care Packages for Clients
MIFA collects senior care packages to deliver to our Meals on Wheels clients on their birthdays and on Christmas Day. If you would like to host a collection project at your workplace or church, or just put together a bag or two, we would be grateful for your contribution!
Please direct any questions to the appropriate staff member below:
- Individuals and groups, contact Kristi Estes at (901) 529-4521 or kestes@mifa.org.

Please assemble items in a tote, an 11” x 14” decorative paper bag, or backpack for portability, and deliver to MIFA Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The receptionist will accept your donation and provide a gift receipt.
Note: While all items are not required, we request that each gift bag contain at least eight of the items on the list.
