MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The Dickson County Help Center provides temporary needs-based aid to Dickson County residents through love and dignity.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Client Choice Food Pantry Our Client Choice Food Pantry allows the clients to walk through our food pantry with a volunteer to pick out food they need and like. This cuts down on food waste and empowers the clients on what they receive, especially if there are dietary restrictions. Although most of our food is donated through food drives, individuals and churches, we still purchase many items to help feed those in need. Utility Assistance We help with paying utility bills when all other resources have been exhausted. Medication and Medical Assistance Provide copays, partial payments for testing, and medication to those who cannot afford to pay. We do not cover pain medication, controlled substances or narcotics. Project Hope Home Repair We offer a home repair program (as funds are available) to our elderly neighbors whose homes are in much need of repair. In addition to the funds we have, we also seek grant money to help in this area. We also build wheelchair ramps and help to make homes handicap accessible. Emergency Relief Assistance This program exists to help families who have survived a disaster such as fire, flood, storm, tornado, etc and do not have the insurance to help with the costs. We work in collaboration with the Red Cross, FEMA, DEMA, UMCOR, United Way, Dickson County Long Term Recovery and other organizations to help families get back to a "New Normal" after a disaster strikes. End of the Month Club Deliver food to our elderly & disabled neighbors who cannot drive. Clothing Clothing for those in need. Furniture Houshold Items Furniture & Houshold Items for those in need or for families who's homes have burned or been destroyed due to natural disaster.
