RITI Memphis

If you see posts with a list of Room in the Inn churches and addresses saying they are open as emergency shelters, that is NOT correct. Please help us correct them by directing those posts to check @ritimemphis or share info from our previous tweet and remove false info

The Emergency Warming Center is operated and details updated by @HHubMemphis

We operate 7 days a week regardless of weather. After 5pm guests are transported to other locations where volunteers host them for the night. Any evening we have reached capacity we will be sure guests know and have transportation and access to the other available options.

Incorrect info is circulating. Please help us share the correct information about RITI and our host locations. Churches hosting with RITI do not have walk-up availability **All RITI guests must check in at First United Methodist Church 204 N. Second Street from 4-5pm.
