Our Mission

At the Dickson County Help Center, our mission is to provide immediate relief and support to the most vulnerable members of our community. As a non-profit public corporation, we have committed ourselves for over 45 years to offering food, clothing, and limited financial assistance. Our efforts primarily focus on supporting individuals, families with children, disabled adults, and older people who receive little or no government assistance and aiding those in emergencies, including victims of fires, floods, and tornadoes.

Founded with the vision of providing compassionate support, we strive to address the urgent needs of our community members caught in the aftermath of life's unforeseen challenges. We aim to ensure no one in Dickson County faces these challenges alone by providing temporary relief during their times of need.

Through partnerships with the United Way of Greater Nashville and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, we can ensure that aid is accessible to those most in need.

The generous support from individuals and businesses within the Dickson County community has been instrumental in our ongoing mission. This community engagement—through donations, volunteering, and advocacy—has also greatly enabled us to impact the lives of those we serve.

Looking ahead, the Dickson County Help Center remains dedicated to our mission of helping our community's most vulnerable. We invite you to join us in this mission. Your involvement is invaluable, whether volunteering your time, donating, or spreading the word.
