RESOURCE & EDUCATION CENTER

The REC is a drop-in resource center that offers a comprehensive approach to eliminating stigma and helping our community members live well. The REC is also home to Wellness University- courses and activities designed to provide social support and education to anyone in need. We also have a clothing closet where our Friends in need can get clothes when they need it most.

In The REC, we serve coffee and other donated items. Breakfast is served daily until 10 a.m., and midday snacks are served starting at 11 a.m. Limited computers with free Wi-Fi access and free technical assistance are available daily. All visitors will be encouraged to participate in daily Wellness University courses and assist Friends employees in day-to-day volunteer opportunities. 

Help your Friends in Memphis stay warm! Support the Mildred Richards Clothes Closet and help provide individuals with the clothing they need to feel confident and empowered. Our program offers free access to professional and casual attire, along with personalized styling advice, giving clients the tools they need to succeed. We offer a safe, private space where they can select up to three items each week at no cost. Your generous clothing donations make this possible and directly impact lives. Drop off your donations at Friends for All during business hours or contribute online to keep this vital resource thriving.
