Embrace Memphis Fully: How to Make the Most of Your Serve901 Trip

We’re so glad you’re coming to serve with us in Memphis. While Serve901 focuses on connecting you with meaningful service opportunities, we also want you to experience the heart of this city—and that’s where our sister campaign, Choose901, comes in.

Choose901 exists to celebrate Memphis as not just a place to visit, but a place to invest in and enjoy. It’s a city with deep needs—needs for compassionate, thoughtful people willing to serve. But it’s also a place full of soul, creativity, music, history, and food that will stick with you long after your trip ends.

While you're here, we’ll make sure you get a taste of that culture. Every group visits the National Civil Rights Museum, a powerful and essential experience that grounds your time in the context of Memphis' story. You’ll also eat soul food at the iconic Four Way Restaurant in Soulsville—a place that feeds more than just your stomach.

And one more thing: We’ve got a Serve901 tradition—don’t eat at chains while you’re here. There are too many incredible local spots to waste a meal on something you can get at home. Whether it's wings, barbecue, or snow cones, we’ll help guide you to the flavors that define Memphis.

Get ready for a week of service, growth, and discovery. Memphis is ready for you.
