Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Sally Heinz, President and CEO of Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association (MIFA), who highlights their mission and efforts to support the independence of vulnerable seniors and families in crisis. During the interview, Sally talks about their largest senior program, Meals on Wheels, and how Memphis has the highest food insecurity rate of any large metropolitan city in the US, according to the most recent State of Senior Hunger in America. To change this, MIFA is launching the MIFA Senior Hunger Growth and Innovation Fund. Sally talks about the effort and how the community can get involved, discusses some of their other programs to help families and how the pandemic has impacted their efforts, and highlights some of the goals for this year and beyond.
