Memphis Grizzlies’ forward Zach Randolph‘s Community Assistance Fund supports Plus-1 and you can too: a program administered by the Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association (MIFA) to pay utility services for people in need. Customers fund the program through one-time donations or by adding a dollar or more to their utility bill each month. Since its inception in 1982, Plus-1 has provided millions of dollars in assistance to families in crisis in Memphis and Shelby County.

“People should not have to decide between paying the heating bill and buying food, paying rent or paying for gas,” Randolph said. “I’m lucky to be able to help with some of those things.”
