A new year brings with it new hope for the thousands of clients we serve. We all know that we will continue to experience enormous challenges in the wake of the pandemic but we hope for a brighter future thanks to the support of people like you.

 

You matter to Hillsides. You matter to the 17,000 clients we serve. You matter to our board and staff. You make a difference in your community because you support us and we cannot thank you enough for that support.

 

Life threw us all a major curveball in 2020 and, like so many, we adjusted and focused on providing our services in the most effective and safe way possible. As you can imagine, demand for our services surged due to COVID-19. We redirected resources to help families stay connected with technology needs like iPads and Wi-Fi so that kids could continue remote learning. We helped families and young adults with rent, groceries and utility bills when they lost employment and couldn't make ends meet.

 

In short, we adapted, and we made these changes in the face of grave new financial realities for our organization. We are already planning to do so much more with less and we hope that you will help provide the safety net our clients so desperately need. Your gift of $50, $100, $250, $500 or more will allow Hillsides to provide essential support to the many children, youth and families we serve and who count on the generosity of people like you.

 

Thank you for helping us to continue to create community and support to the young people we serve and their families -- even in the middle of a global pandemic! Your support means the world to us and so many others.
