Ending poverty through life-changing relationships with neighbors and God.

FESTA SUMMER LUNCH CAMP

We’ve been standing in the summer hunger gap since 2007, providing nutritious, free lunches daily for children who receive a free or reduced lunch during the school year. Our Summer Lunch Camps combine friendship, fun activities and nutritious food to combat suburban poverty.

CONNECTING FAMILIES TO RESOURCES

We serve as a vital link connecting families with needs to a host of community services. Our goal is to help families maintain stability and stay in their homes. We work with church and community partners who are able to assist families with rent and utility bills through their benevolence funds. We continue to maintain the Hilliard Helps website listing free and low cost programs and services offered in the Hilliard School District community.
