Students Providing Access to Resources for the Community

The S.P.A.R.C. Center was created to provide food, clothing, and educational opportunities to the families of Franklin Township. We recognize how hard it is to make ends meet during these difficult economic times, so we are developing community partnerships to make resources accessible.

Hour of Operation:

Assistance is provided at the S.P.A.R.C. Center on:

2nd and 4th Thursday
of each month
12:30pm – 6:00pm
 
1 Saturday per month
10:00 am —2:00 pm
Oct 22, Nov 19, Dec 17, Jan 21, Feb 18, Mar 17, Apr 21

Donations can also be dropped off at this time. The facility is staffed by Franklin Central students who are gaining work experience and our community partners.

Client Info:

  1. First time clients must fill out an application form in order to receive items.
  2. Items are client choice, but we do ask that you fill out a tracking sheet each time. 
  3. We ask that you limit your visits to twice in a calendar month.
