Room in the Inn: Sheltering Memphis' Most Vulnerable

December 8, 2025
Explore how Room in the Inn offers emergency shelter and support to Memphis' homeless, creating a safe haven during critical times.
Room in the Inn in Memphis is a vital organization that provides shelter and support to the homeless, particularly during the harsh winter months. Started 15 years ago by a small congregation, the initiative now includes multiple programs like the congregational shelter, a recuperative care center for medically fragile individuals, and housing for families with children. These programs not only provide shelter but also offer hospitality, respect, and a chance for individuals and families to feel safe and cared for. The organization continues to face challenges in sustaining resources to maintain these essential services.
