HILLCREST TRANSITIONAL HOUSING

Linen Drive For Our Village Church sponsored
​Hillcrest Transitional Housing Apartment

​Village Church is sponsoring a linen drive for our Village sponsored Hillcrest Transitional Housing apartment. Hillcrest provides temporary housing for homeless families, helping them become self-supporting and self-reliant in just 90 days. We need the following NEW items:
• Bed sheets/pillowcases/mattress pads: full size 
• Comforters (machine washable): full size in blue shades including navy and gray shades including charcoal
• Basic standard pillows 
• Bath towels (bath, hand, wash): blue shades including navy and gray shades including charcoal 
• Kitchen towels, dish cloths, hotpads 
 
Drop off your donations in the gray bins at the south entrance of Village Church between Feb. 7 and 21. Questions? Contact Deborah White in the Mission Office at 913-671-2369 or deborah.white@villagepres.org.  
In 2014, Village Presbyterian Church began sponsoring an apartment in conjunction with Hillcrest Transitional Housing offering homeless families, singles and youth a disciplined, educational program with a caring, supportive environment. Unlike many organizations whose focus is one-time or emergency care, Hillcrest’s primary objective is to move clients from homelessness to self-sufficiency within 90 days by addressing the total life situation of the homeless families they serve.
​
In exchange for rent/utility-free housing, adults are required by written agreement to find full-time employment, obey program guidelines and attend weekly volunteer-taught classes in life skills, employment, community living and budgeting.

In addition to sponsoring an apartment, Village Church provided money to Hillcrest for the purchase of its first four apartments in Johnson County located at 9306 Bluejacket in Overland Park. With our apartment sponsorship, Village Church helped with the initial furnishing of the residence and we now stock and provide a welcome meal when the apartment turns over to a new family.
