Crosstown Concourse Hosts Community Donation Drive with Pop-A-Roos & Neighborhood Christian Center

March 2 – May 1

Crosstown Concourse is proud to begin hosting regular community donation drives in our Central Atrium — creating new opportunities for our community to show up for Memphis in meaningful, tangible ways.

Our next drive, taking place March 2 through May 1, is in partnership with Pop-A-Roos and Neighborhood Christian Center (NCC). Together, we’re inviting our neighbors to help provide everyday essentials to Memphis families in need.

Why It Matters

For years, Neighborhood Christian Center has served Memphis by providing critical support to individuals and families facing hardship. Among the items NCC distributes are basic hygiene and household necessities — products that are easy to take for granted but essential for dignity, health, and daily living.

Ephie Johnson, CEO of Neighborhood Christian Center and owner of Pop-A-Roos, is proud to help lead this effort and demonstrate how our city can come together to create life-changing impact. This partnership is about more than collecting supplies — it’s about strengthening our community.

Items Needed

NCC is currently collecting the following new, unopened essential items:

-Soap (bar and body wash)

-Deodorant

-Toothpaste and toothbrushes

-Feminine hygiene products

-Diapers

-Hand sanitizer

-Laundry detergent

-Baby wipes

-Sanitizing wipes

-Dish soap

-Other everyday hygiene and household essentials

 

These products are distributed directly to families who need support, helping relieve financial pressure and provide stability during difficult seasons.

How to Participate

From March 2 through May 1, bring new, unopened items to the green donation bin located in the Central Atrium at Crosstown Concourse. Every contribution — big or small — makes an impact.

This is a simple way to show up for our neighbors. Whether you add an extra item to your grocery cart or organize a small collection with friends or coworkers, your generosity matters.

Let’s Show Up for Memphis

Memphis is strongest when we come together. By supporting this donation drive, you’re helping ensure families have access to the essentials they need to thrive.

Stop by, drop off a donation in the Central Atrium, and join us as we kick off this new series of community donation drives at Crosstown Concourse — making a difference, one item at a time.
