Giving Back: Thrive Memphis
A new name and brand with a new tagline – “Thrive Memphis: a special place where those with special needs thrive” – also comes with a new home for an organization that provides educational and social opportunities for those with special needs in the community. Formerly known as the Exceptional Foundation of West Tennessee, the organization began a name change to Thrive Memphis in 2019. Part of the new branding is because the organization wanted to step out on its own, apart from its former Birmingham, Alabama-based umbrella organization. Along with the new brand came a new home at the beginning of 2020. Thrive Memphis has used various churches to provide its services through the years but found a true home at the Memphis Jewish Community Center. The organization has access to all of the JCC’s amenities, including a basketball court, soccer fields, swimming pool, yoga space and more.
