Founded in 1994, the The Harriet Hancock Center for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community of South Carolina is a hub of resources for LGBT South Carolinians. The Center is a safe haven for our community and youth with support and social activities. It is located at 1108 Woodrow Street in Columbia. Stop in during open hours or call the Center for information: (803) 771-7713. If you are interested in volunteering at the Center or would like to reserve space for a meeting, please contact Santi Thompson: santi.thompson@gmail.com.
The Center is named for the founder of the Center and SC Pride, Harriet Hancock. In 1982, Harriet started the Columbia, SC chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) after her son came out to her. Since then, she has been a dedicated activist working to secure full civil and human rights for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community.
