Our Programs

Friends of Families

Please note that Friends of Families programs are suspended until May 1, due to the COVID-19 national emergency. This suspension includes playgroups at the Town Hall and the Library, as well as the April Clothing & Book Swap. We will reevaluate as necessary, and we will reschedule the swap when possible.

The focus of Friends of Families is to bring families together and to provide play-based and educational programs for parents and their young children. Programs include weekly playgroups, parent education, welcome baby programs, and children’s clothing and book swaps. For more information about current programs and offerings, please click here.

Emergency Funds

For families in Hinesburg and St. George who are unable to meet basic needs, HCRC offers a small Emergency Assistance Fund. A committee reviews all requests, and in the past we have helped with utility bills, fuel oil, gas, rent, car repairs and more. If you have an urgent need and are having a hard time finding help, please give us a call.

Contact: Rachel Kring at (802) 482-4946.

Medical Equipment Lending

HCRC lends used medical equipment and mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes, commodes, and shower seats to any community member who has a need. Short term loans are typically made for a surgery or recovery from an injury; folks may also borrow items longer term if needed. If you are in need of equipment to borrow or would like to inquire about what we have available, please let us know. We are not accepting donations of medical equipment at this time, as our lending inventory is full.
