Dear friends, MIFA began as an alliance with lofty goals: combating hunger, alleviating the struggles of poverty and aging, and uniting the races to bring about large-scale, positive change in Memphis. It was an alliance of many good forces – men and women, clergy and laymen, black and white – and that fact has been one constant in our ever-evolving organization for more than 40 years. In this issue of Hope in Action, and in various other media in the coming months, MIFA will spotlight individuals who represent the good in Memphis, and we invite you to participate. MIFA’s Something Good in Memphis campaign will recognize those who make Memphis better, whether it’s the stranger who helps change your flat tire in the rain or a human services pioneer who changes the lives of a hundred poor Memphians. But in order for us to recognize them, you have to tell us about them! To nominate someone you know for Something Good in Memphis, visit www.SomethingGoodinMemphis.org. Thanks for all you do for MIFA and Memphis, and for helping us continue to be an alliance of good in this community.

Sincerely,

Margaret CraddockExecutive Director

MIFA Meals staff prepare meals for delivery to homebound seniors. Earlier this year, MIFA’s program was recognized by the Meals on Wheels Association

of America as the first Magnet Accredited Program in Tennessee.

Earlier this year, MIFA Meals was recognized by the Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) as a Magnet Accredited Program. The criteria for this prestigious honor range from good practices in managing funds and staff to efficient program operations and appropriate long-term planning. After a detailed examination of the program and our Meals facility, MOWAA granted MIFA Meals a three-year accreditation. MIFA joins the ranks of over 5,000 Senior Nutrition Programs (SNPs) nationwide which have been accredited by MOWAA. Arnetta Macklin, MIFA’s Vice President of Senior Programs, comments, “We are grateful to the Meals on Wheels Association of America for recognizing MIFA Meals, and we commit to upholding our standards of service and efficiency in the future, so that we may remain a positive example to other programs.” MIFA Meals is the first MOWAA Magnet Accredited Program in Tennessee.

Ordinary people do amazing things in Memphis every day. Is someone you know something good in Memphis? We often find ourselves surrounded by unsettling news and unsavory deeds, and sometimes the good things around us are overshadowed by the bad ones. But it is important to keep the good things and good people in mind, especially when fear, anger, or tragedy shakes our foundation. MIFA’s newest campaign, Something Good in Memphis, which debuts this month, was created to celebrate those individuals who have a positive impact in our community but whose achievements go unnoticed. MIFA was founded on the concept of an alliance of good. It was built on the raw nerves of a city that had just seen a civil rights leader assassinated and the chasm of misunderstanding between two races widen. The organization began when men and women, black and white, came together without regard for religion or race or gender and focused on the beliefs they shared. At that time, Addie Golden, a representative from the United Methodist Church, said, “Those men on that MIFA Board asked, ‘What do we have in common?’ not ‘What do we have that is different?’ MIFA was one of the best things that happened.” In the same spirit of seeking out that common good, MIFA’s Something Good in Memphis campaign offers Memphians an opportunity to recognize their friends and neighbors for having a positive impact in the community, no matter how large or small that impact may be.

Be something good in Memphis!

In preparation for MIFA’s second-annual Feed the Soul event, staff and volunteers have been planning and organizing for months. The event’s steering committee is an eclectic mix of local folks with a stake in MIFA and an interest in party-planning, from architects and artists to fundraisers and executives. One unique committee member’s life in Memphis began at MIFA, and now her path has led her back. When Nicole Gates moved to Memphis from Joliet, Illinois, with her four daughters in 2005, she was intimidated by the idea of putting down roots in an unfamiliar place. She came equipped with event plan-ning skills but didn’t know where to begin. While thumbing through an issue of GRACE Magazine, she saw a MIFA ad and enrolled in a 12-week, small-business training program for low-income individuals. At MIFA, she learned principles of planning, design, management, oper-ations, marketing, and finance. When Nicole completed the program, she became a certified meeting and event planner, and she started her own business. Her radio show aired on WLRM 1380 AM in July of this year. She says, “I was determined to be a success story for MIFA. I found a fresh approach to my business, and I was able to turn my pas-sion for entertaining friends and family into a full-time job!” Nicole loves what she does, and she is quick to give MIFA credit. She says, “MIFA served as a stepping stone to my many successes. I believe that I’m living my dream every day!” She is excited about the opportunity to use her expertise to give back to MIFA; Nicole will as-sist with logistics on the Feed the Soul committee this year. For more information on Nicole and More Than a Memory Events, visit www.nicolegates.com.
