Building Networks of Support to Strengthen Community
We are a volunteer non-profit organization of neighbors helping neighbors.  HCRC responds to the needs of Hinesburg area residents while we build community and extend a helping hand.  HCRC accomplishes this by:

* Providing a Food Shelf to feed our residents and neighbors
* Connecting young families to community and resources while providing support and educational opportunities
* Lending medical equipment to individuals in need
* Offering emergency funds for residents in financial crisis
* Providing transportation solutions for the needs of the community

Volunteers Needed
Our Twice is Nice thrift store benefits all of our Hinesburg Community Resource Center programs. Do you have some time to volunteer or know someone who would be a great fit? We are looking for some friendly folks to run the shop, provide excellent customer service and educate the public about our mission to respond to the needs of Hinesburg residents while we build community and extend a helping hand. Responsibilities will include helping customers, making sales, tidying the shop, accepting donations, putting out new merchandise, and making minor repairs/steaming/ironing clothing. Please contact Co-Manager Mary Crane to volunteer.

Community Needs Survey Results
Thank you to everyone who took time to share your interests and vision for meeting community needs in the years to come. Here is a link to basic results.There were a lot of great comments to some of the open-ended questions as well, and we will be exploring those ideas as we look to the future of the Resource Center and how we can best meet community needs.

Playgroups
Playgroups take a break for the summer and resume again when school starts in the fall. Families with kids ages 0-5 can feel free to use the Hinesburg Nursery School playground to meet up informally on Wednesday mornings. The playground is designed for preschool aged children. Please respect the equipment and space and pack out any trash. We look forward to seeing families again for regular playgroups starting the first week in September!
