I love working alongside those who have the desire to help others. Volunteering brings out the best in people. As the Volunteer Coordinator for Room In The Inn-Memphis, I have planned volunteer opportunities for groups of students, religious and employee groups, and individuals. It always amazes me of the willingness to do anything needed.
Helpful hands and a caring heart turn a tedious task into a fun project. Thanks volunteers!
Helpful hands and a caring heart turn serving a meal into holy hospitality. Thanks volunteers!
Helpful hands and a caring heart turn sorting donations into making sure each guest has what they need when they need it. Thanks volunteers!
Helpful hands and a caring heart turn cleaning and painting into an afternoon of joy and laughter. Thanks volunteers!
I guess I’m simply saying to ALL of the volunteers that spend time helping us, THANKS!
There are many organizations needing volunteers wanting to share a few hours of their time. I love that so many choose to spend their time with Room In The Inn-Memphis.
I want to say it again, thanks volunteers for enriching my life through your gifts of time and support,
Terri Dulaney
It’s a bittersweet Volunteer Appreciation Month as we say farewell to RITI’s Volunteer Coordinator, Terri Dulaney. Terri is a longtime volunteer and supporter who joined the staff two and a half years ago. We’re so grateful for the hours and love Terri has selflessly poured into RITI and look forward to seeing her return as a volunteer in the future!
CONGREGATIONAL SHELTER
Winter Impact
THANK YOU to our Winter Shelter Congregations
who hosted over 400 individuals from November through March!
110 of those sheltered were children.
Together 38 congregations provided
Over 4800 beds of warmth and safety.
Even with all this great work, there were still over 1,000 missed opportunities. That’s over 1,000 times a person came to the door seeking safe shelter, and we had to tell them all our spaces were filled for the night.
YOU can change that story.
An additional 12-15 guests receive shelter
with each host congregation scheduled for the evening.
Gather a small group and join us this summer
to shelter women and families with few other options for free, safe shelter in Memphis.

April Volunteer Appreciation Match Challenge!
Can we match the gifts of service given by our all-star volunteers?
The estimated value of a volunteer hour in the US is $33.49!
We know there’s really no price tag on the love and service you give, but we want to rise to the challenge anyway!
Will you match the value of our volunteers’ hours this month?
Throughout the month we will track the hours and update the goal. Each dollar you donate with this link will be counted in the match!
