Memphis Union Mission
Many homeless men live in fear of being robbed or physically attacked. And extreme temperatures can make sleeping on the streets further dangerous.
That's why providing safe, clean shelter for our overnight guests is so important. Doing so gives hope to our guests, and communicates God's love to them in a practical way.
To create a physically safe environment for all of our guests, we do not tolerate violence of any kind, nor do we allow drugs, alcohol, or weapons in the building. Any guest bringing these into our facility is immediately required to leave so that we can maintain a safe environment for everyone else.
When our shelter beds are full, particularly on cold nights, we set up over 100 additional temporary beds in our chapel and an additional 100 temporary beds at our Opportunity Center.
Lunch is free and open to the public. Lunch guests should arrive no later than 11 a.m. Dinner is reserved for overnight guests.
