Serving Our Neighbors
The grant program has grown and changed since its inception in 1992 with a total award of just $15,000, but the focus — improving the mental or physical condition of Hillsboro residents — remains the same.
Community Services Grants support organizations like ASSIST (Assertive Supplemental Security Income Service Team) that serve the greater community and help local residents like Paco move toward better health, independence, and stability.
