About Us

The Front Porch

Memphis is known for being a city of hospitality, and our gathering place sits along a more than five-mile stretch of Walnut Grove without a public space to stop and enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend, to gather in a space designed for work or to hold a business conference or social event .  The Front Porch is designed to be a interfaith gathering place where people are invited to connect over food and drink, over ideas and action, over community service and social entrepreneurship. 

The Front Porch will expand relationships with local social enterprises and incorporate a store within the building, Second Helpings Café, where refreshments can be purchased and products of purpose will be available, all designed to tell stories of community. 

The Front Porch will be a place where all are welcome just as they are; a place for our community to connect to each other, learn from each other and grow together. A place where we can Rest, Renew and Restore.
