Room In The Inn - Memphis

Wonderful group from St. Paul Baptist Church toured our campus and their team spent time getting ready for the beginning of their 9th season offering holy hospitality to our congregational shelter guests at their church! If you have a church, synagogue, center or need to share space to host a small group of unhoused neighbors we would love to help you be ready November 1st!

We were happy to a part of the Memphis Grizzlies Take Action Day of Service at Morris Park today! Special thanks to Josh Curtis and the volunteers who helped us transform our hygiene items into 1500 kits to distribute to attendees! Guests, along with Grizzlies player Taylor Hendricks, came by our table and learned about our programs. We even saw a few former guests who came by to celebrate their moves into housing! What a great day!
