Community Helping Place is the largest public outreach center serving the Lumpkin County, Georgia area. From its early day as a collaboration between local churches, we were originally a simple food pantry over the years, the partnership also began offering emergency financial assistance for utilities, rent payments, in fuel for transportation. In 2008, a free clinic was added and four years later, a free dental clinic.
