THE PURDUE CENTER OF HOPE AT A GLANCE

 

PLACE

On the majestic banks of the Mississippi River, Memphis is the Home of the Blues, Elvis and world-renowned barbeque.

Named "Most Giving City" in 2017 by The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Memphis is home to seven Fortune 100 companies, including FedEx, which has repeatedly landed among the top 20 of Fortune’s "World’s Most Admired Companies" list.

PROBLEM

Memphis is home to more than 620,000 severely rent-burdened families and 1,021 homeless individuals, including 237 homeless children (Community Alliance for the Homeless Point-In-Time Count, 2020).

Memphis has 24.6 percent overall poverty rate and a 39 percent child poverty rate.

PEOPLE

The Purdue Center of Hope is home to up to 130 women and children at a time — many of whom are experiencing multi-generational homelessness, poverty, domestic violence and addiction. 

 

 

 

OUR PLAN

The Salvation Army fights to end generational poverty, break cycles of violence and addiction, empower children to overcome adverse childhoods, and position families for long-term self-sufficiency

 

 

 

WE FIGHT TO PROVIDE YEAR-ROUND OUTREACH, HOLISTIC COUNSELING, AND SERVICES FOR THOSE SEEKING HELP.

HOW YOUR INVESTMENT CHANGES LIVES

Provides individualized services to families with children who want to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability that repeats generation after generation. This program seeks to address the root causes of poverty, in addition to The Army’s history of compassionate serving. 

Featuring a full spectrum of outpatient programs – education and prevention, assessments, case management and individual and family counseling – this program allows clients to seek treatment while maintaining their work or school demands. 

A two-year residential recovery program for chemically-addicted women and their children, which keeps families together while they work toward sobriety, employment, positive parenting and financial literacy.

The largest specifically-designed shelter for single women in Memphis, which houses up to 20 of our city’s most vulnerable individuals. Many experience homelessness or displacement due to underemployment, educational challenges or general life circumstances.

The Purdue Center of Hope is home to more than 60 youth, ranging from infants to 15-year-olds. Focusing on intervention and education in the lives of their mothers and/or primary caregivers, coupled with wraparound family therapy, changes in the trajectory and future of our children is evident.
