She’s walking toward a door, but we’re thinking about everything beyond it.

New opportunities. New hope. A future filled with possibility.

Every family deserves a safe place to start again. 💛

09/03/2026

Today, a new family begins their next chapter at Dorothy Day House. We hope they feel welcomed into a space prepared just for them, a space where they can rest, heal, and begin again. 🙏

No family should have to be separated because of housing insecurity. Families deserve the opportunity to stay together, rebuild together, and move forward together.

This work takes all of us. Looking out for one another, caring for our neighbors, and making sure families have a safe place to land. We believe it’s what we’re called to do.❤️

Every $10, $25, $50, or $100 gift helps provide the safety and support families need as they work toward stable housing.

Your gift can help make the next welcome possible.

Happy 901 Day! 💙👏

There’s something special about the 901, a community that shows up for its neighbors and makes Memphis feel like home.

We’re grateful to serve Memphis families and even more grateful for everyone who helps us do it.

For Memphis. For Families. 🏡❤️

Shelter is the starting point—not the finish line. 🏡

At Dorothy Day House, we want every family to leave with more than a place to stay. We want them to have the resources, relationships, and practical tools they need to build lasting stability and lasting change.

In this reel, Beth, one of our House Managers, shares the hope we have for every family we serve: success on their own terms and a stable place to call home. ❤️

That’s what we’re working toward, day by day, family by family.

Give today and invest in a more stable future for families in Memphis. ❤️

We love celebrating our families in their big moments, but watching them celebrate each other might be our favorite part. 🥹❤️

While T was taking her certification test, her son asked Tracy to take him to Dollar Tree to pick out some of Mom’s favorite treats. He wanted to make sure she had something special waiting for her when she finished.

A sweet little surprise for a very big accomplishment. Hard work pays off because SHE PASSED! 🥰

Dorothy Day’s words remind us that, underneath so much of what we strive for, we’re all looking for the same thing: to love and be loved.

At DDH, we believe every family deserves a safe place to call home, the support to move forward, and the freedom to love and care for one another without the fear of being separated. ❤️

Lean into love this week.
