Our Mission

Rooted in the tradition of the Gospels and inspired by the vision and passion of Dorothy Day, the Dorothy Day House provides temporary housing and support services for families experiencing houselessness in Memphis, TN. Working with other local agencies, staff members, and volunteers, we provide families in need with a safe environment and the means to re-establish their independence. All guests are welcomed as Christ with no discrimination.

Our annual Wreath and Garland Fundraiser is officially underway through November 1st! These beautiful, lush evergreens are shipped directly from the Pacific Northwest to you or a loved one just in time for the holidays or are available for local pickup. They make great gifts and make anyone’s home look like a holiday showstopper.
