Reflections of Hope

Back by popular demand - Feed the Soul Party!

On September 30, 2010 at The Warehouse at 36 East G.E. Patterson, from 6
pm to 10 pm, we will celebrate 43 years of helping change lives in our
community with our third annual Feed the Soul party!

Feed the Soul was created to honor the unique role MIFA has in the
Memphis community and the positive change MIFA has made possible since
1968. The event will celebrate giving and what can happen when Memphians
come together for a common cause.

With Feed the Soul, we celebrate the unique elements of Memphis: funk,
soul, rock 'n' roll, and Memphis music, food, and diversity. Guests at
Feed the Soul will have lots to do, such as an oxygen bar, the MIFA
Boutique, Hula hoop dancers, Raiford and the Ryan Peel band and more!

in the community can attend.
