Testimonials
"As a working journalist for over three decades, I have witnessed and reported on the lasting impact of strong community services that empower our most vulnerable neighbors. Like so many other families, I am no stranger to the critical need of quality behavioral and mental healthcare to ensure a pathway to a brighter future for the individual and the family as a whole.
As one of the oldest social service nonprofits in the Nation's Capital, I am so appreciative of the dedicated work of Hillcrest Children and Family Center. For centuries, Hillcrest has worked tirelessly to assist thousands with invaluable services including mental health support, children and family resources, counseling and so much more. Making our community stronger by making sure that no one is left behind through services offered with compassion and professionalism is paramount. Thank you, Hillcrest, for making sure that all of our neighbors get the support we all deserve." - Allison Seymour, Journalist, WUSA-9
