The Holiday season in its deepest essence is about giving. For many in our community who are less fortunate, finding a safe place to stay away from the cold and the elements is incredibly difficult and oftentimes dangerous. Although there are federally provided shelters and resources to help support the homeless community, there are not enough resources or initiatives to provide care for everyone who needs it. Thankfully, there are organizations that you can support that do their best to support those in need. This is by no means an exhaustive list of organizations that you can support,\u00a0 but a few bright spots to begin your search. Let\u2019s band together, and help support those who need a helping hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 1870, Saint Mary\u2019s Catholic Church Soup Kitchen has provided more than 300 meals a day for our communities less fortunate, and homeless citizens. This organization is reliant upon the kindness and generosity of those willing to donate their time and resources for the betterment and support of those less fortunate. A very small donation of $1 a day will support the continued feeding of hungry Memphians who are reliant on the organization to stay afloat, especially during such a critical time for our community.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dorothy Day house provides temporary housing and other support services for families that are in need of assistance, a safe place to stay, and other resources to aid those who are less fortunate, homeless, and in need. The Dorothy Day House keeps homeless families together in a community that will support a safe environment – this approach is a stark contrast to most homeless shelters which tend to separate families by their age, sex, and circumstance. The mission of the Dorothy Day house revolves around the strength of the family unit and finding comfort and safety within one another, avoiding the deeply traumatic event of family separation. According to the Dorothy Day House website, \u201cThis home-like atmosphere provides a sense of security, especially for the children, fosters self-esteem and uplifts the human spirit. It creates one of the most vital ingredients for escaping poverty\u2014hope.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
