Carmilla Wheeler is the founder of Image Builders Memphis and she grew up in the inner city of Memphis TN and is familiar with the needs and struggles of the community. Image Builders Memphis was formed in order to change the way people see themselves so that they would want better for themselves. Image Builders Memphis wants to make those opportunities to reach for better more attainable to the community. We obtained our 501c3 nonprofit status on April 17th, 2018. We began our first program which was our summer camp for the youth May 26, 2018. Since then we have had budgeting classes, community clean up events, Thanksgiving event for the elderly, I am royalty event for young women in our community and blessing boxes for the homeless in Dec 2018. We have so much more planned for the years ahead such as help for people to rent affordable homes in the area, community fellowship events, financial literacy classes, tutoring for children struggling with schoolwork and help to fix the nutritional struggles facing our community. We are dedicated to serving the people in our community. Our community is considered high risk and we want to eradicate poverty and crime in our area. We want to give the people a real shot at a fulfilled life.
