Continuing series of spotlighting our incredible Mental Wellness and Social Services team members! 💚Meet Hilary, Nourishing Hope’s Manager of Social Services.

Since joining Nourishing Hope in December 2025, Hilary has helped lead our Social Services team in providing neighbors with resources, information, and compassionate support as they work toward their goals. Throughout her social work career, Hilary has supported adults experiencing homelessness in finding employment and has also developed programming and support services for older adults.

Hilary earned her undergraduate degree from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, and her Master’s in Social Work from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Outside of work, Hilary enjoys reading, traveling, and growing mini pumpkins in her garden (usually while her two cats supervise from the window). 🐈

Thank you, Hilary, for helping create a community where every neighbor is met with dignity, support and hope!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. and at Nourishing Hope, we’re reminded that healing begins with being seen, heard, and supported.

Ash’s story is a powerful reminder that access to compassionate, high-quality mental healthcare can change lives. Through every session, every conversation, and every moment of care, our team works to create a space where neighbors feel safe, respected, and never alone.

Because nourishment is more than food. It’s caring for the whole person — body, mind, and community. 💚

This , we’re celebrating the people on Nourishing Hope’s Mental Wellness team who provide Chicagoans with the resources they need. 💚 Today, we’re proud to spotlight Vanessa Garcia, one of our incredible bilingual clinical therapists!

Born and raised in Chicago with strong roots in their Mexican heritage, Vanessa brings deep compassion, advocacy, and community connection to their work. Before joining Nourishing Hope in 2022, Vanessa provided therapy and advocacy to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence across Chicago. Their clinical interests include trauma-informed care, somatic techniques, intergenerational healing, and supporting Chicago’s BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Vanessa’s commitment to community-based care reflects what Nourishing Hope is all about: meeting neighbors where they are with dignity, respect, and compassion while helping build resilience, healing, and brighter futures.

Whether through counseling, food access, or social services, we believe nourishing hope means caring for the whole person — and team members like Vanessa help make that possible every day. ✨
