THURSDAY'S THINGS WE NEED: Join our Full Table Project!
Look at the difference you could make!

We believe that a dining room should be more than just a place to eat- it should feel like home. That’s why we’re launching the Full Table Project! We are looking for donations of wood dining tables and chairs to create a warm, eclectic, and welcoming space for our guests.

How you can help:
🪑 Donate a wood dining room table or chairs. Contact us to schedule a time to drop-off your donation at our office. Donated items must be in good used condition, needing no major repairs.
❤️ Don’t have furniture? You can still help! "Sponsor a Seat" with a one-time or monthly donation of $25 to help keep our tables full of hope and hospitality! Donations can be made at ritimemphis.org/metagive

RITI offices are closed today in observance of Memorial Day.
Thank you to the staff and Congregational Shelter volunteers who work through the holiday to ensure RITI guests receive shelter without interruption.

THURSDAY'S THINGS WE NEED: PILLOWS!
❤️There's nothing like laying your head on that perfect pillow at the end of a long day. Share some of that comfort with RITI guests by donating pillows today!

🛏️We have over 60 beds on campus. Each guest has a new pillow waiting for them when they arrive, and guests take their pillows with them to their new homes when they move.

🌟To donate new pillows, you can drop off at 409 Ayers Street or order from our Amazon Wishlist (https://ritimemphis.org/wishlist) to have items shipped directly to our door. Thank you!

It's hard to say who had the most fun at Inn Bloom this year! Guests, staff, volunteers, and community partners joined us for our 5th annual celebration marking the anniversary of the RITI Campus, Recuperative Care Center, and Family Inn. We were joined by over 60 previous guests who are now in housing in addition to 40 current guests taking steps toward better health and stability. We couldn't have pulled off this fun-filled day without the 50 volunteers who helped make it possible and our community partners from Literacy Mid-South, Dixon Gallery and Gardens, City of Memphis, Ben & Jerry's, Gethsemane Garden Church of God In Christ, and Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church! Thank you! We look forward to the next 5 years (and many more)!

🧼We recently received a generous donation of 1,152 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bars from BRIXY! We're excited to offer guests this eco-friendly option that's good for them AND the environment! Thanks, Brixy!

RITI volunteers packed the house at this year's Volunteer Appreciation Dinner! We hosted over 100 volunteers on this special night to say THANK YOU for the thousands of hours and countless ounces of love they've shared with us this year.

We love this event! Not just because we get to share our gratitude with the volunteers who make RITI possible, but because for one night so many of our volunteers come together in one place from the many where they serve, and we can all see the diversity of faith backgrounds united under one mission to shelter our neighbors with ! It's a night full of good food and good stories.

❤️Why do you volunteer with Room in the Inn? We'd love to hear your story! Share with us in the comments, and share with a friend to spread the word! There are opportunities to get involved every day!
