This place is super cool! We have never been in one of these locations so we were confused at first…read morebut it looks like a mix of donated items from people's homes and excess stock from stores. They were also giving away some Harry Potter tins because the gummies inside were expiring that month. We ended up taking a few boxes of them. It was just a fun visit. I'd be willing to drop in every now and then to see what new stock they get and even see if we can donate our old things here rather than to Goodwill since I don't even know if Collierville has a Goodwill anymore.

I came to spend a rainy morning to the Second Helpings Cafe, which is within the Front Porch…read morebuilding -- a new community hub built on the campus of Second Baptist Church on Walnut Grove. In short, Second Helpings Cafe is a great addition to the coffee shop/cafe scene here in Memphis. The coffee is from Vinculo and quite good -- not bitter and very smooth. The baked goods are from Sweet Lala's. My biscuit was amazing -- buttery, flaky, and much better than I expected it to be. The staff in particular were super pleasant. The seating is ample and comfy, the lighting is perfect, and there's just enough foot traffic from the adjacent co-working spaces to create some background noise so you can have a very productive morning or afternoon here. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

I went to donate blood today. I made an appointment but was about 5 minutes late. There was one guy…read morefinishing up and 3 people working the drive. By the time one of them actually came over to me (7 minutes after my appointment) I was told that the person who needed to check me in had left because I was more than 5 minutes late. They still got me checked in but sadly my iron levels were too low to donate. While they were finishing with me another woman showed up to donate, explained about a tree being in the road which caused her to be late, but they refused to take her. Considering all the stuff I hear about there being a blood shortage I am appalled by this behavior. One of the ladies working was on a the donor bed/lounge chair things, half asleep, and didn't get up at all. I expect better from Red Cross... but I guess I'll try to donate next at St. Jude or one of the other orgs.

Friends For All has been a deeply painful and frustrating experience over the past three years…read more During this time, I repeatedly submitted grievances regarding staff behavior, including what I experienced as discriminatory language and treatment, including homophobic slurs. These concerns were consistently ignored or not meaningfully addressed, which left me feeling dismissed and unsupported. Instead of resolution, I experienced ongoing conflict, inconsistent communication, and what felt like being treated as a problem rather than a person in need of support. This contributed heavily to my isolation and worsening mental health during an already difficult period of homelessness and instability. Two staff members in particular, Patrice (Rec Room Manager) and her supervisor T'shaka Chambers, were central figures in my experience. I felt that their handling of situations often escalated distress rather than resolving concerns, and I experienced their approach as significantly harmful to my well being. There also appeared to be a pattern where concern or support was expressed until issues were questioned or reported, after which communication became strictly procedural or dismissive. This inconsistency made it difficult to trust the support system that was supposed to be in place. As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I also experienced this loss of support as the loss of what was once a safe space. Over time, that sense of safety and belonging disappeared, leaving me feeling isolated during an already vulnerable period of my life. I am sharing this because I believe accountability, consistency, and respectful treatment are essential especially in spaces meant to serve vulnerable communities.
