Memphis, Tennessee, is a city rich in history and culture, yet it faces significant challenges that create opportunities for meaningful mission work. Nearly one in four residents lives below the poverty line, and many families struggle with housing, food security, and education. The city continues to experience racial and economic divides, but these challenges also open doors for healing, reconciliation, and community renewal. Despite poverty levels of more than 25% and crime rates that are skyrocketing by the month, God is here, moving among His people to build the Church.
The Memphis Send Relief Ministry Center is a place where gospel unity comes to life through real, hands-on compassion. Here, believers from all walks of life gather to serve together by feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, caring for the vulnerable, welcoming refugees, and supporting local churches. The center also helps local churches build meaningful relationships in the community, creating opportunities for neighbors to thrive across cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic boundaries.
What will you do:
Some of the serving opportunities may include, but are not limited to, working with those experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, and supporting community-based projects such as neighborhood beautification, light construction projects, children’s programs (VBS or other projects), outreach events, evangelism, and more. Volunteers will learn the “why” behind Memphis’ struggles through a visit to the Civil Rights Museum, trauma-care training, and honest conversations with local leaders.
