Room in the InnRoom in the Inn-Memphis is an ecumenical ministry that serves people experiencing homelessness. The program provides emergency shelter and meals during the coldest months of the year—November through March. Our goal is to share the love of God through hospitality. Shelter is a basic necessity that more than 2,000 people in Memphis are living without each night. Faith communities have warm buildings and people who can provide this necessity along with much needed meals and a good helping of kindness and respect. St. Ann is hosting Room In the Inn at the St. Vincent de Paul Ozanam Center Downtown, once a month.
