Help Center has moved to old middle school property

Sparta-White County Help Center has moved locations. Wanting to inform people quickly about their new place, the Help Center reached out to discuss the move with The Expositor. By the soccer fields near the old middle school, on the corner by High School Street and East Bronson, the old band building has been outfitted and furnished up for the Help Center. This new location officially opened Dec. 8.

The change in location will offer a lot more for the Help Center. George Elrod, one of the Help Center’s directors, said, “The new space gives us more room, parking, and access for deliveries. The Help Center, for 2024, gave 250,000 pounds of food. Sponsored mostly by churches, businesses, and friends of the center, any contribution is welcome. And we invite everyone to come and see the new center.”

The Help Center is open 1 p.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.-noon, on Saturday.

There is a drop box at the Help Center for donations. Any food or clothing that can be donated goes a long way to helping the less fortunate of the county, an objective Elrod knows the Help Center will continue to strive for no matter where their building is located.
