Room in the Inn -Memphis

Room in the Inn- Memphis is an ecumenical ministry that serves people experiencing homelessness. We are modeled after the incredibly successful Room in the Inn program that started in Nashville more than 30 years ago.

Our mission is to shelter those experiencing homelessness in a safe environment of hospitality. 

Our vision is to provide holy hospitality to our guests.

At Room in the Inn we strive to build community on love and respect; welcome all as an expression of faith; and give hope and hospitality in a safe environment. 

Sheltering those experiencing homelessness in a safe environment of hospitality.

• Building community on love and respect
• Welcoming all as an expression of faith

All opportunities listed by Room in the Inn are for volunteering at our main location at 212 N. Second Street. This location is the check-in and transportation hub for our guests during our emergency shelter seasons (Nov-Mar, May-Sept) as well as the Room In The Inn Day Center (Monday-Wednesday, 1-4pm). All overnight shelter takes place in congregations throughout Memphis. Volunteers may sign up to help us share holy hospitality with our guests during any available shifts.
