Begun overdinner.Kept by neighbors.
Memphis Interfaith began in 2007 as a single dinner with one intention: to bring people of every faith to the same table to break bread. After the 2009 gathering, the congregations and volunteers who kept showing up decided to make it permanent, and Memphis Interfaith was formally established.
The work now runs in two directions. The Annual Interfaith Dinner, held during the Islamic month of Ramadan, gathers distinguished speakers from across traditions around a shared theme. Through the rest of the year, interfaith volunteers pack meals that ship to areas of need across the Western hemisphere. Inspired by Islamic values and open to everyone, our aim is for Greater Memphis to find the best in every faith tradition, starting with the people sitting beside them.
