Memphis Jewish Home and Rehab is currently seeking donations of supplies for art therapy classes.  Residents can show their creative side while also finding new ways to express themselves in art therapy.  The art activities provide another source of stimulation, both mental and physical, and give residents a great sense of accomplishment when they finish a project, building self-esteem.

Please consider making a purchase from our Amazon Wish List.  

Supplies can be shipped directly to:

Welcome Home Kits

You can help Catholic Charities clients transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing by sourcing and packaging their most needed household goods.
