Advance Memphis strives for community transformation. We do this by partnering with the body of Christ in the community. Our mission is to equip the adults in the Cleaborn and Foote Homes Community with knowledge, resources, and skills to be economically self-sufficient through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Advance Memphis values good stewardship. As we work to fulfill our mission, we strive to set outcome-based goals and to regularly report on our progress. At the end of 2009, we created our 2nd annual "Return on Investment Report" for our volunteers and donors. View that report here.
