MERGE Memphis needs you as they work to help women in need
They need the public’s help as well with donations, especially winter coats, jackets, hats, gloves, and scarves.
“We try to take things like clothing, food, and shelter out of their daily worries,” said Executive Director Sherry McClure.
Our Mission
Hi! We are Keith and Sherry McClure, co-founders of Merge Memphis. We are both full-time nurses, trying to make a difference in our communities. Merge Memphis is a 501c3 non-profit in Memphis, TN. We have a strong passion and are led to help those less fortunate.
Merge Memphis’ mission is to provide underserved women of the Mid South area with safe emergency shelter and housing and provide wrap around services need to assist them to self sufficiency.
Simple, right? But we need you! Our teams consist of dozens of volunteers serving in different areas, but all with the same passion. We started forming “Teams” in October 2014, obtained our non-profit status March 2015 and have been going strong since!
Thank you for visiting our website, we are in hopes you will join one of our teams.
Lettuce Serve + Juice Plus
Lettuce Serve allows the residents of Clare’s House to provide fresh fruit and vegetables to the 38108 zip code where they are located. As the 4th poorest zip code in the state of Tennessee, it is also a food desert as there are no viable options for fresh produce in the area. From the center of 38108, the closest fresh vegetables are approximately 5 miles away.
Noting at Clare’s House, the lack of soil garden space, we have partnered with Juice Plus utilizing their Hydroponic Garden Tower system. Merge needs 12 Tower Gardens to supply Clare’s House and the community. Merge currently has partnered with Pinnacle Bank, Cricket Wireless, SouthPoint Church, and 4 individual donors to start our system. We need you to become our partner!
The women of Clare’s House want to bless the community that has taken them in their time of need by allowing them to serve the very thing the community needs most, fresh food options grown in love. These healthier options can and will impact the community’s over all health.
Our Programs
Everything we do, we do with LOVE.
Clare’s House
Clare’s House will house up to 22 Residents and will continue to serve as a Room In the Inn Host for women.
Little Free Pantries
Each week, volunteers fill these pantries with non-perishable items ensuring they’re always ready for anyone who might have need. If you’re interested in filling a pantry, donating food, or giving financially to make this a reality, we would be so appreciative, and so would our friends who lean into these food pantries to make it from week to week.
Merge Dignity
Buy women specific items we request and bring them to the party, and have fun with friends while serving others.
Merge will then package these new items and deliver to the shelters. What a great way to help others!
