Students know what Hillcrest is. They have seen the thrift shop just down the street. They volunteer, they donate, and they purchase from it. What many students are not aware of, however, is the impact that Hillcrest has on the community. It is more than just a thrift shop, but rather an organization that works to transition homeless or at-risk people to a life of self-sufficiency. Executive Director Donice Mahan knows of the common misconception that the thrift shop is a standalone company. “A…
