Hillcrest Family Services – Forming Promise People
At Hillcrest Family Services, people discover a place of dignity and respect. Whether they are seeking help for themselves or a family member, they gain hope for a better future. In the despair of a homeless family, there is dignity. In the desperation of mental illness, there is respect. In the struggles of a troubled youth, there is hope. For over 115 years, Hillcrest has answered the call to serve human hungers of the mind, body and spirit. We work to fulfill those needs and address the challenges of every individual who comes to us by promising to be there with compassion, resources and solutions.
Hillcrest’s work is built on the foundation of the Six Promises. We’ve joined a national effort to give every individual a chance at a better life. The first five promises include:
- Caring Adults
- Safe Places
- Healthy Starts
- Effective Education
- Opportunity to Serve
True to our faith connection with the United Methodist Church and Presbyterian Church (USA), we’ve added a sixth promise:
Opportunity for Spiritual Connection
This model guides and influences everything we do at Hillcrest. We continue to meet the challenges presented to us by expanding our services and programs as needed and as funding allows. Whether you come to us for services, refer a friend or family member or help us by donating to support our work, we’re glad you found us! Welcome to Hillcrest Family Services.
