More-than-a-Meal and More-than-Art are both operated by the Idlewild Presbyterian Church on Union Avenue, very close to the Rhodes campus. More-than-a-Meal is a Thursday evening soup kitchen that begins at 5:00 PM. More-than-a-Meal is unique from the experience of serving at Souper Contact because the food is prepared ahead of time by church members. Therefore, the role of a volunteer at More-than-a-Meal is to help serve the food, but also to socialize with the patrons.
More-than-Art is a program that works partly in conjuction with More-than-a-Meal; it was started by a Rhodes student to offer a creative outlet for members of the homeless community in Memphis. More-than-Art happens every Thursday afternoon (directly before More-than-a-Meal) at 3:30 PM.
