H100

Join today...become a member

H100 was founded to nurture a younger community base for Hillsides and to create the next generation of support. Established in 2009 with a small five-member board, H100 has grown to over 100 members and has raised thousands of dollars for Hillsides. The group has recently adopted two Hillsides cottages that house 20 children in foster care. H100 raises funds for these children through an annual Farm to Table dinner held in the summer, a family event held in the spring, and a holiday event in November. H100 members also provide these 20 children with their specific holiday wishes and personalized stockings, new bedding, Valentine’s Day goodies, Easter baskets and personal birthday packages complete with cake, ice cream, gifts and personalized décor. In addition, H100 plans special outings for the children to the movies, nail salons and amusement parks. One of the best parts of being involved is that the youth often write personal notes to donors in a heart-warming expression of gratitude for meeting their wishes.

With limited events per year, the H100 board strives to make participation in the group an easy and enjoyable way to meet others while also serving the community and improving the lives of others in transformative ways. Come be a part of this friendly, dynamic group and support the children of Hillsides. We'd love to meet you.
