HFS is a private, non-profit, community-supported agency providing assistance and support to our neighbors - often those people who "fall between the cracks" in our society, those facing unexpected financial crisis, isolation, or loneliness. Since its incorporation in 1970, the board and staff have sought to recognize and serve those in our midst whose needs may be hidden, including those called the "working poor," those who are hungry, homeless, or unable to provide for basic needs. Our philosophy is to recognize the dignity of the individuals we serve knowing that any one of us could be in need. People often call HFS when there is nowhere else to turn.
