The Shelter

Homelessness has been depicted as people living on the streets. When someone thinks of homeless people, they think of middle aged drunks on the streets. Homelessness isn’t just people on the streets; it's also people staying from one place to another because they don’t have a secure home.

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.
