Give a Gift That Truly Matters
In a world where most of us already have more than enough things, many friends of the Dorothy Day House have embraced a more meaningful holiday tradition—giving in honor or memory of loved ones. Your Christmas gift helps families experiencing homelessness in Memphis find safety, stability, and hope this season.
This year’s card was created by local artist Gabi Nunnelee, and it’s truly extraordinary. Her watercolor captures the Dorothy Day House Village and its Nativity scene, beautifully symbolizing the spirit of family, hope, and home that shines through our mission.
A $10 donation per card is requested.
Donations, names, and addresses must be received by December 15th to ensure delivery before Christmas.
Honorarium cards
Rather than giving things this year, consider donating in honor of someone special.
Your honoree will receive a Christmas card from the Dorothy Day House letting them know that a gift has been made in their name — a gift that helps keep families together and housed this holiday season.
memorial cards
Make a gift in memory of a loved one to continue their legacy of generosity and compassion.
Your donation will support transitional housing and vital services for families rebuilding their lives in Memphis.
