MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The Mt. Juliet Help Center is dedicated to providing temporary & emergency food, utility, & clothing assistance to families in western Wilson County. Our purpose is to help bridge the gap when families are unable to provide basic necessities. We offer compassionate support & maintain the dignity of our clients while partnering with local churches & other community organizations.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Food Assistance: The Mt. Juliet Help Center's primary function is to provide food and personal items to families in our community. Our clients are able to choose what they will eat from a list of foods that we strive to keep on hand, allowing us to be more efficient with our stock and to keep on hand what our clients would otherwise buy at the grocery store. It is important for us to be able to provide personal items as these are not able to be purchased with SNAP benefits. Utility Assistance: The Mt. Juliet Help Center provides emergency utility assistance to families in our community. When a utility service is past due, in danger of being disconnected, or has already been disconnected, we work with the client to get the past due amount paid. In instances where what is owed is more than we can cover, we help the client locate other sources to cover the additional amount that we cannot. School Supply Giveaway: Every July we host a school supply giveaway for families in our service area. We purchase quality, age appropriate backpacks, and we fill them with school supplies chosen based on actual supply lists from the local schools that these children attend. While we aren't able to provide a complete supply list for each child, we are able to ease the burden and help these children get their school year off to a good start. Thanksgiving Box: Every year we give away a box of groceries meant to supply an entire Thanksgiving meal. We provide a turkey and all the trimmings, including dessert, so that our families will be able to have a happy holiday with their families.
