Danny Gokey’s charitable foundation Sophia’s Heart recently opened the Antioch Relief Center to help support Middle Tennesseans impacted by the massive flood earlier this month.
The center, which is located at 5320 Hickory Hollow Parkway in the old Best Buy building, is offering food, water, clothing, cleaning supplies and other essentials free of charge to victims of the natural disaster. Technology protection service Asurion will also be giving away 200 free cellular phones with 200 prepaid minutes to qualifying folks (i.e. verified flood victims), starting at 9 a.m. on Friday. People in need of assistance can drop by and pick up what they need.
Those who want to help can drop off donations of clothing, cleaning supplies, toiletries, blankets, bedding, shoes and bottled water directly to the center
“There are people in need and we have to look past ourselves,” Gokey said. “If there’s one thing I learned growing up as a boy in church, it’s that if you take care of someone else God will take care of you.”
The center is open 8:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, call 1–888-519‑6669.
