MIFA 'Meals on Wheels' needs your vote to win FedEx grant

MIFA 'Meals on Wheels' needs your vote to win FedEx grant

The Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association (MIFA) is in the running to win a grant for its Meals on Wheels program, but the nonprofit needs your help to win.

According to MIFA, Memphis was declared the hunger capital of the country in 2011.

The Meals on Wheels program delivers 1,800 hot lunches each day to seniors in the community who are unable to leave their homes.

Now, MIFA is one of several nonprofits competing for a grant from FedEx.

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, FedEx is sponsoring a Global Month of Service.  The shipping giant is encouraging its own team members to team up with nonprofits to make a difference in their communities.

The "Friends of the MIFA Maniacs" are hoping for your votes in order to give the Meals on Wheels program a boost so it can make an even bigger impact on the Memphis community.

The Trophy Room will bring, events, sports, variety to Collierville

 

(WMC-TV) - A new restaurant going up in Collierville will have more TVs and events for its patrons than any other establishment in the area.  

Former alderman Tony Sarwar is the man behind The Trophy Room.  His sports bar will host a variety of events and cater to sports fans, families, and women.

"If you ask anyone in Collierville, it's a stigma.  Everyone says, 'There is nothing to do in Collierville,'" said Sarwar.  "We do have really nice restaurants, shopping, we have a lot of festivals, a lot going on.  But the image is that there is nothing going on in Collierville."

Sarwar is looking to change that.

"We want to have an event every night," he explained.  "Bingo, karaoke, trivia, bands."

The mastermind behind The Trophy Room is also planning to host ladies' nights, poker nights, and even set up a Wii to give visitors a unique option when it comes to entertainment.
