Hillcrest Transitional Housing - Fundraiser

Hillcrest Transitional Housing will be hosting a wine tasting and dinner at Atlanta Bread Company on Sunday, August 10, in the Summit Woods Crossing Shopping Center from 4:00 – 6:00pm. The cost is $20 per person with half of the proceeds to benefit Hillcrest Transitional Housing.

Hillcrest is a 90-day transitional housing program that helps a homeless family achieve self-sufficiency through a high accountability budgeting and life skills educational curriculum while living in a fully furnished, rent-free apartment. Families that enter the program have over a 95-percent chance of being self-sufficient upon graduating the program, and over an 80-percent chance of remaining self-sufficient after 5 years. First Church has sponsored an apartment at the Eastern Jackson County location since it opened several years ago.
