2022 Annual Report
The work we do is all about meeting basic needs and helping people find connections to community supports. We invite you to learn more about our work over the past year through our Annual Report, and we would be honored to have you join us as a donor, a volunteer or a community partner.
A Short History
The Hinesburg Community Resource Center was established in 1986 after the work of two Adelphi University Masters of Social Work students, who conducted a community assessment to learn about the resources of the area and to identify unmet needs in the community.
Working with the Hinesburg Volunteers for Community Service, a grant was submitted to the United Way in March 1986, requesting $5,000.00 to assist in establishing a community resource center. Early work of HCRC was based on connecting community members with programs and supports in the era before people could do an internet search or call 211.
HCRC has grown to include several programs which aim to respond to the needs of our community by providing support, resources, education and services to help meet basic needs and connect residents to community supports. They include Friends of Families, The Hinesburg Food Shelf, a School Vacation Food Program, Medical Equipment Lending, Emergency Assistance Fund, and a Senior Calendar.
In December of 2018, the building HCRC had been loaned at 51 Ballards Corner Road was donated to us by Jan Blomstrann. This generous gift gives HCRC the opportunity to expand the services offered to clients and opens up exciting new avenues for community partnerships in the years to come.
HCRC currently receives ongoing support from area towns, foundation grants, and donations from area farms, businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals. Our Twice is Nice thrift store profits also support programming. Programs are run almost entirely through the efforts of volunteers.
