Donating seasonal clothing, food, bath towels, toiletries, over-the-counter medicine, and other items serves as a practical, useful ministry to the hurting and the homeless.
We ask that all items be clean and in reasonably good condition. Broken, torn, or non-functioning items will not be accepted.
Donation Opportunity: With the increase of guests in our facility during the winter, we are in desperate need of men’s underwear and t-shirts, sizes medium through 2XL! Below are links for ordering and shipping directly to us or if you would like, you can bring them to the Mission located at 383 Poplar Ave, Memphis, TN 38105…the donation door is behind the new building on Washington Street and the door is next to the gate! We are open for donations Monday-Saturday from 8 am-4:30 pm except between noon-1 pm!
