Community Partners Making a Difference!

As our local students head back to school, HACSM would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to two wonderful local businesses that partnered with us to help make the start of the school year a little easier for some families in our community.

Trendy Tee’s partnered with HACSM and our clients to provide printed PE shirts for students in grades 6–12.

Shoe Sensation partnered with HACSM and our clients to provide PE shoes for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Back-to-school expenses can add up quickly, and items such as PE shirts and shoes can be an additional cost that is difficult for some families to manage.

We are incredibly grateful to Trendy Tee’s and Shoe Sensation for their compassion, and willingness to partner with HACSM in serving our community ❤️

📢 Donation Reminder

We are incredibly thankful for the generosity of our community and the many people who support Highland Area Christian Service Ministry through donations.

To help us maintain a safe, clean, and welcoming environment, we ask that donations NOT be left outside our doors when the pantry is closed. Items left unattended can be damaged by weather, attract pests, create safety hazards, and may not be suitable for distribution.

We also want to remind everyone that we are only able to accept food donations. We cannot accept clothing, furniture, household items, or other non-food donations.

Please bring food donations during our regular operating hours so they can be properly received and stored by our volunteers.

Any items left outside the building after hours, especially non-food items, will be discarded at our discretion.

We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and your continued support as we work together to serve our community.

They checked the dates and are not donating food that is past the recommended “best by” dates.

Have your yellow bags filled with donations out early tomorrow morning for your letter carrier to pick up for HACSM Food Pantry.
