Widely recognized as the largest event of its kind, Project Homeless Connect - Memphis opens windows of opportunity to individuals who are experiencing homelessness. Giving them immediate access to vital services and resources under one roof is a proven way to impact their lives for good. In a number of ways, this amazing service opportunity is all about connecting people to purpose!

For many, the resources to leave homelessness can take months to secure. Our compassionate team of city agencies, service providers, community partners and volunteers work together to make a difference!
