On June 16th, The Help Center had the privilege of attending the TVA retirees annual picnic at the Florence Coliseum. Our volunteers enjoyed engaging with the majority of the 350 attendees to sharing snacks and the Help Center's mission and recruiting new volunteers. Congratulations to the Chick-fil-A gift card winner. Most of thank you, TVA Retirees for including us in your special day. Thank you, Rick's BarBQue for making sure everyone was well fed AND thank you to our volunteers for their extra time and effort!
Let us know if you would like to join one of our teams (Mon, Wed, Fri), donate food, clothing, make a monetary donation or purchase a Help Center tshirt, as seen on the volunteers.

Summertime is traditionally hard on our donated food supply - and this year is no different. You can help us bridge the summer gap by bringing non-perishable items: beans, veggies, soups, pastas, canned meat, etc. All donated food items help supplement families with children. Donations can be made during our operating hours, M, W, and F from 8am until noon at 621 S. Court Street. Thank you for helping us help others!

Hey friends! We haven't been very active on this page as we've been wrapping up the season, but we wanted everyone to be aware that we are sheltering tonight and tomorrow (Tuesday) night due to the freezing temperatures.

Alabama weather doesn't work on a schedule and God decided we needed a couple more days with our friends!!

So please spread the word that no one has to sleep outside and we are prepared to serve them!!

Thank you all for the beautiful support you have shown our guests throughout the season - they have been safer for it 🩵
