MIFA Provides Holiday Service Opportunities

As the biggest shopping day of the year approaches, add a few extras to your shopping list...

Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association is offering several ways to give back to the community this holiday season.

In conjunction with a special Christmas Day meals delivery, volunteers will deliver gift bags to 1,000 homebound senior meals clients. Those who would like to donate gifts should deliver them by Dec. 10 to MIFA, 910 Vance Ave.

Suggested gifts include blankets, stationery, postage stamps, winter caps, sweaters, shirts, socks, flashlights and games such as playing cards or crossword puzzles.

Another opportunity for a charitable contribution is the Holiday Hope Chest, which provides gifts for more than 400 children in MIFA’s Housing Opportunities, Emergency Services and Teen Job Services programs.

MIFA is asking for toys to be delivered by Dec. 6 to Mary Williams at MIFA.
