Community Partners
Community Partners are important to us in fulfilling our mission. Volunteers become friends of Hilliard House and extend the arms of staff. They bring new ideas and help to residents; they fill gaps we otherwise are not able to fill; and they generously share their expertise with the women and children. Community Partners help us change lives!
