WFN Member Spotlight

On Monday, the U.S. honored the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a national day of service, an affirmation of our commitment to making this democracy accessible and just for all. In the same place where Dr. King’s life ended too early, the Women’s Foundation for a Greater Memphis ( WFGM [[link removed]]) works in service to build a more just and equitable community.

As a part of the Women’s Funding Network’s economic mobility initiative, one of WFGM's local initiatives focuses on Memphis’ poorest zip code, 38126. Since last March, the WFGM COVID-19 Response Project [[link removed]] has collaborated with other nonprofit, health, and business entities to provide essentials needed during the COVID-19 crisis, like food and hygiene kits. More than 160 volunteers donated their time, distributing more than 70,000 pounds of food and supplies.
