Memphis Crisis Center Awareness Week kicks off Sept. 10 with “Less to Wine About Wednesdays,” a monthly fundraiser for the Memphis Crisis Center at Rizzo’s Diner, 106 G. E. Patterson. On the second Wednesday of each month, Rizzo’s donates a generous portion of the proceeds from lunch and dinner to the center. For reservations, call 901-523-2033. For information, go to memphiscrisiscenter.org or rizzosdiner.com.
Also, from Sept. 10 through 16, the Memphis Crisis Center will be using social media to reach out to the community. Anyone can join the conversation on Facebook at facebook.com/memphiscrisiscenter or Twitter at #901Crisis7, adding a favorite quote, participating in daily discussions on the featured topics, or memorializing a loved one lost to suicide. For more information or to volunteer for the Memphis Crisis Center, call (901) 649-8572, email volunteers@crisis7.org, or go to memphiscrisiscenter.org.
