Founded March, 1987 by the Goodlettsville Ministerial Alliance, the Help center started out in the basement of the Bank of Goodlettsville.  It has always had a mission to provide emergency relief for people within the 37072 zip code in a manner that promotes their return to self-sufficiency. 

The Help Center is a satellite of Second Harvest Food Bank serving persons in the 37072, 37080 and 371890 zip code area.

Emergency assistance is available to persons in the 37072 zip code for food, clothing, household goods and financial aid for utilities, prescriptions, transportation and education.
