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.

It’s that time of year, the holidays are near and we’re all prepping our homes and making plans. With your help, we do our best to plan for a festive, joy filled season for our families, as well. Many people ask how they can help, featured on the right, is our 2024 Christmas Card that you can send to family and friends for a small donation.

Another way to contribute is by supporting our mission all year long by making a year end gift, CLICK HERE to do so.
