Savannah Pride Center (SPC) is a nonprofit LGBTQ community center based in Savannah, Georgia. Established in 2017, as of April 2026[update] it is the only LGBTQ center operating in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1][2]
Services
Serving about 4000 people annually, SPC offers services including free HIV testing, support groups, a monthly healing clinic, and an annual healthcare summit.[1][2][5][6][7] The center is staffed primarily with volunteers.[1]
In 2025, SPC partnered with the Savannah Police Department to train officers on how to respond to hate crimes against people in the LGBTQ community.[8][9] The initiative followed the shooting death of a gay SPC volunteer, which the police did not report as a hate crime despite SPC calling on them to do so.[8][9][10]
