Change started with me last year...
...when I decided to seek out emergency shelter and crisis support to get away from a bad situation at home. A program offered through the Hillside Family of Agencies has helped me focus on finishing high school, get an apartment of my own and go to college full-time. Thanks to this program I was able to lay the groundwork for my independence.
Crisis Services
In these challenging times, meeting the basic needs of people in our community and helping them develop skills to reduce their dependence on services is critical. United Way is helping address the immediate needs of people right here in our community by leveraging your donations to the Community Fund. The goal is simple - all individuals and families in our community will have their basic needs met. With your support, United Way is investing in Basic Needs Programs to help people overcome crisis and lay the groundwork for independence, and Homelessness Prevention and Housing Stability Programs for intervention services that help families at risk of foreclosure or eviction stay in their homes.
