ABOUT AGAPE: At Agape, we break down barriers for families in hard places so they can build the life they desire and deserve.  We do this in partnership by listening and providing the connections, skills and encouragement families seek in order to thrive. Agape Child & Family Services is a faith-based, non-profit organization dedicated to providing children and families in Memphis with healthy homes.
