We are a Community School!
Thank you to Karen and Katherine Coons and their volunteer group “Simple Acts of Service for All” for their pantry donations this school year.
We have been so grateful for all the support we have received after being featured in a KSL news story last week! To read or watch the story click HERE. The Hillcrest Free Market supports many students and families at Hillcrest including showers, laundry, clothing, hygiene, fresh produce, and pantry items. Our Market runs on 100% in-kind donations and community partnerships. If you are interested in assisting the Market please see our page HERE or visit our amazon wish list https://a.co/83QlSLK. We also have a fresh produce market on Tuesdays where we provide fresh vegetables and fruits to our families. If you would like to support this fresh produce market we would appreciate grocery gift cards or donations toward our produce. All donations can be dropped off in the main office.
