Struggling to put food on the table?
We can help.
Food and Groceries
On the second Saturday of every month, Memphis Dream Center + The Life Church hosts a free Food Pop-Up Shop at our Austin Peay location, 3683 Austin Peay Hwy, Memphis, TN 38128. This is open to anyone who needs it — no judgment, just food and support.
When you come, you’ll be able to choose from fresh and non-perishable items provided through our partnerships with
the Mid-South Food Bank and other community partners. You pick what your family needs.
Event details:
Second Saturday of each month | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM.

Pre-registration is required.
Read to Lead
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM | After the school bell rings, what happens next matters. For kids with working parents, quality afterschool care isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline. And for all kids, summer is when literacy gains can slip away the fastest.
Read to Lead partners with local schools in the Raleigh community to give kids a place to thrive after school and all
summer long. During the school year, students get homework help, an afterschool snack, and a lineup of activities that goes way beyond the classroom…think acting, public speaking, cooking classes, and of course, lots of reading!
When summer hits, Read to Lead becomes a full-day experience. Kids enjoy music and dance, guest speakers, games and challenges, and more, all while keeping their reading skills sharp.
Help For Families In Crisis
Life can throw a crisis at any family. When it does, the Family Advocacy Center is here.
We walk alongside families in crisis — providing practical resources so children can stay home and families can stay together. We help meet the immediate needs of needs of new moms, single parents, and guardians going through a hard season: things like diapers, bedding, bed frames, clothing, school uniforms, and back-to-school supplies. Something as simple as a bed can be the difference between a child staying with their family or entering the foster care system.
If your family is in a hard season and you need support, we’d love to help. Reach out to get connected with our Family Advocacy team.
We Also Partner With other local Organizations
We believe in the value of working together and believe in the work these organizations are doing to serve the community. Please reference this list of recommended resources designed to serve you and your loved ones.
