The Tillman House: A Resource Center for Serving the Community

TILLMAN HOUSE

Tillman House, located at 940 Concord Road, may be familiar to many as Tillman United Methodist Church. When Tillman House reopened its doors as a Resource Center in 2018, it continued its commitment to building relationships in the community.

One way Tillman house does this, is by meeting people where they are and discovering how we can serve them. Some days serving means a warm cup of coffee and a listening ear. Or it could be serving through any number of our resources such as our food pantry, diaper programs, hygiene & warming kit distribution, laundry services and many counseling and support group options. Our continuing education extends to the care of our children in the community. Tillman House is the host for the Smart Kids Afterschool Program. This is a three-day a week after school session taking place every Tuesday through Thursday from 2:30pm to 5:00pm beginning September 7th. We are currently looking for qualified, volunteer tutors to work one-on-one with our 1st through 3rd graders from Green Acres Elementary in reading and math curriculum. Volunteers can choose to help a little or a lot – it’s up to the individual! If you, or someone you know, has a heart for shaping the future of our children, please contact us at info@tillmanhousefoundation.com.

Another way we enjoy serving is through our free adult classes offered in partnership with the Cliff Jordan Continuing Education Center. Our classes, run 100% by volunteers, are designed to stimulate learning and instill independence, offering practical tools for personal growth and development.

Starting this fall, members in our community can choose from classes focused on English as a second language, Math, Financial Growth and Healthy Living. We offer a community garden to teach individuals how to grow their own food that also provides fresh veggies for our neighbors. Additional classes on the horizon include budgeting 101, healthy eating on budget, and art classes! At Tillman House we are always looking for ways we can serve people in our area and welcome anyone looking for a place to serve!
