The Highland Center is a community center in the heart of Shreveport's unique Highland neighborhood, and our Highland Center Ministries serve neighbors with the greatest needs.
The Highland Center Ministries brings together local churches to coordinate services meeting essential needs. Each week, volunteers host 2 family-style meals for our neighbors. Clothing closets are open 5 days per week for men, women, and children, and neighbors can also find laundry vouchers and a Thrift Store in the building.
Our team supports financial stability by offering Housing Counseling, Free Tax Preparation, low-interest "Hand Up" loans (a Pay Day loan alternative), monthly First Time Home Buyer classes, and a low-fee ATM.
Finally, we bring our neighbors together through community events, such as the Khaki Fair for school uniforms, the Halloween Trunk-or-Treat block party, and the annual Christmas Holiday Shoppe.
The Highland Center has also re-opened as a community center with nonprofit office spaces. Our community library, computer lab, and indoor gymnasium are active 6 days a week!
Importantly, the Highland Center is also increasing access to social services for neighbors with over 17 Building Partners and programs operating in our building, meaning that families easily connect to multiple life-changing services all under one roof.
Our Building Partners provide Cradle-to-Career Education, Economic Stability, and Neighbor Wellness programs and amenities.
We truly need the support of community members like you to continue our progress to transform the lives of our neighbors and to remain a place of support and hope for Highland!
Our mission is to be a safe welcoming place where all people can grow, learn and share to build a stronger sustainable Highland neighborhood.
