I have rarely had true hard times in my life until I moved to Memphis. I had plans that failed, so…read morein desperation I had to reach out for help. That is when the name Jesse Thrower was change my life for the better. I had no where to turn and no prospects. I was directed to 600 Poplar to begin finding services. This man was patient, he had kind words of encouragement, he made me laugh and all in all was able to make me believe it was going to turn out alright in the end. So fast forward a couple years, I am a success story. I have even been able to return the favors he bestowed to me by donating back. He is a wonderful, proper, caring individual. His guidance and insight is needed desperately when the chips are down. He never sugar-coats anything. But that man, Mr. Jesse is a God-send. Without him, so many more would be less than they are now. He keeps tabs on his "kids". He cares. It is a beautiful thing when he cares like a father. He cares when no one else does. I have been to the other mission. There was no help. All the help I received was from 600 Poplar. Mr. Jesse is in charge for a reason. He is the best to help you out to see long term how to fix the problems you are in. You do have to work but he will help you if you put in the effort. God bless him always and keep him safe! We need leaders like him!

He clothes the poor and checks on his people whom others have forgotten or care to look the other way at. He tries to treat the ones he is helping with dignity and a caring to help them become stable and independent. The goal is to be a place to rebuild but to fully heal on your own ad to be reintroduced back into the world. He is wonderful and tries hard to be respectful. A gentle giant. If you work with him, he will try to help you to become what you need to become. It is up to you what you become of but he has blessings of clothing donations and whatever the public can bring. He sees the need and tries to balance the donations to needs. the goal is to become self-sufficient so you must go in thinking about your own personal goals and how to obtain them. He helps but you need to start your life quickly. Poverty knows no color, it knows no race and it burdens even the best of us. When you can finally look past yourself and find the happiness of helping your fellow man again, then you are truly saved again and healing. It is hard but look around and see the bigger need of working together and then all this will end and you will be successful again.

The design, the resources. the large multipurpose rooms and the classrooms are are conducive to the type of work being done with the Youth and Community. I have gone for several occasions from banquets to rock climbing fun to youth workshops and they are always more than accommodating. Speaking of the activities, again I have gone for sporting and fitness retreats with students. This time, I went to facilitate a workshop and they had all of the equipment that I needed. The staff were super helpful! All of this makes an awesome facility and I look forward to continued partnership!

The architecture is very unique and is designed to help promote learning about buildings, structures and their relationship with the environment. I know this place offers a lot, but the scope of there activities and services is unclear. Their website isn't super helpful in communicating this sort of information either. I do know they offer team building activities, which is why I was here. Great experience! The activities were meaningful, well thought out and executed seamlessly. The staff was very helpful in facilitating conversations about the process while not letting us get too far off track in our discussions. One of my favorites of the night was the rock climbing wall! What a fun experience in general, let alone as part of a team building exercise. This wall is also open some Fridays for people to come and climb from 6-9pm for $15. Call ahead or check their facebook to check on which Fridays they are hosting this.

Our businesses need talent to thrive, our government needs talent to solve problems, our schools need talent to educate our youth, our communities need talent to innovate and work for a better future. We are forging a prosperous and vital new Memphis by attracting, developing, activating and retaining talent." I can't agree more. We need to keep amazing talent in Memphis (and bring it here) so we can make this the best city possible. And through their programming, the New Memphis Institute is doing just that. Oh, and the M-Azing Race that they host every year was undoubtedly the most fun I've ever had (anyone in Memphis can sign up...I'm making it an annual thing with my friends). So basically you get networking with the cream of the crop in Memphis, you learn things you would never know about politics, economics, etc., AND you have fun...wonderful non-profit.
