Resource Center
The Outpost Family Resource Center opened Summer 2023 as a “one-stop shop” for Heard County families in need of resources and support. The Outpost is staffed by a Resource Navigator who is ready to help connect families to local and regional providers who can support them. The Center, located at 1191 Franklin Parkway, is also occupied by Community Action for Improvement–LIHEAP program, the HEARD Division of the Pregnancy Resource Center, and the Heard County Food Pantry.
