Join Volunteer Memphis for a high-energy Volunteer-A-Thon as part of the 2026 MLK Days of Service! Volunteers will work together in one-hour shifts to assemble necessity kits, warm weather kits, and pup kits that will be distributed to organizations across the Memphis community serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
This fast-paced, hands-on service opportunity allows volunteers to make a meaningful impact in a short amount of time. Each volunteer will select one activity per shift and help us reach our goal of preparing thousands of essential items for our neighbors in need.
Volunteer Memphis MLK Days of Service encourages the City of Memphis to Care Like King through collective action, compassion, and service. This activity will take place at the Ben Hooks Central Library on Poplar Ave.
All supplies will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to arrive on time and be ready to work as part of a team to maximize impact.
