MLK Day of Service 2022
The Memphis Grizzlies hosted our Annual MLK Day of Service presented by FedEx as part of the overall 2022 MLK Week Celebration. Grizzlies Connect volunteers along with WFGM and FedEx volunteers, worked with Mid-South Food Bank to set up a mobile food pantry to supply 500 families and organizations with food boxes. Volunteers also packed Grace Bags to support local nonprofit, Living Grace Memphis.
National Volunteer Month - Earth Day
In honor of Earth Day, the Memphis Grizzlies in support of Memphis City Beautiful hosted Cleaning Up The Community presented by Service Master by Stratos, at Jessie Turner Park located in South Memphis. Grizzlies Connect volunteers helped with ridding the park of litter, sweeping the parking lot, and stacking piles of fallen branches for pickup.
