Forget those tired resolutions of losing weight or quitting smoking.

Resolve to clean up and manage your credit instead. Here's five steps toward making that happen, according to Lynn Henderson of LowCards.com:

* KNOW YOUR CREDIT REPORT LIKE THE BACK OF YOUR HAND. "Request the free annual copy of your credit report and go over it with a fine tooth comb to understand every little detail," said Henderson. "Look for inaccurate information, mistakes, fraud and any sign of identity theft. After reviewing your credit profile, you should know where you stand in terms of credit history and your actual credit score."

The Chickasaw Council of Boy Scouts are putting their forces behind the Mid-South Food Bank this holiday season.

Scouting for Food is an effort to feed families in need.

One in five Mid-Southerners struggle with food insecurity - that's a lack of sufficient food to meet basic needs.

"I think were going to have a record year. Not only have we filled up all the bins this year at this location, but we also picked up North Mississippi.

They had eight troop groups down there," said David Stephens of the Mid-South food bank.

This year, Kroger is also lending a hand by offering eight food collection sites.

The Mid-South Food Bank delivers more than one million pounds of food per month.

Several Memphis businesses have teamed up to help give some Mid-South children a happier Christmas. 

It’s a program to give 1,000 bikes to kids between five and 13-years-old in a community-wide holiday endeavour.
