Looking for a fun family event without all the hassle? Well look no further!

Reunion Memphis and Aaron Jones Productions along with Building Blocks Mentoring Program presents the First Annual Family Day White Out Extravaganza.

This is a city-wide event where young people and their families can come out and enjoy a fun-filled day of activities, including a red-carpet VIP entrance, games, food, contests, face painting and a youth dance. There will also be a performances by Memphis’ own Lil’ P-Nut.

The Mid-South Food Bank says it needs donations to help Mid-Southerners who have been forced from their homes by the recent flooding.

However, right now, the non-profit says it only needs food items that don’t need to be cooked:

• Crackers with cheese or peanut butter
• Protein bars
• Granola bars
• Tuna kits

The Food Bank is also asking for household supplies:

• Cleaning supplies
• Diapers
• Wipes
• Hand sanitizer
• Toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Tissues

You can drop off your donations at the Mid-South Food Bank, 229 South Dudley St. or donate by visiting the group’s website and checking “disaster relief” in the dropdown box.

Three doctors bicycling across the country for Haiti relief will make a stop in the Mid-South.

Haiti is still recovering from an earthquake that struck over a year ago. On May 1, the Memphis Redbirds will have a “Bisiklet for Haiti” game to help the doctors reach their fundraising goal of $30,000. The trio will throw out the first pitch when the Redbirds take on the Round Rock Express at 1:35 p.m. at AutoZone Park. A portion of all ticket sales that day will go to Bisiklet for Haiti and Cloud Forest Medical Clinic in Seguin, Haiti.
