The Alejandro Tree sparks a spirit of giving

The Alejandro Tree is a true story, inspired by the kindness of a child from Hillcrest Educational Centers. The story has already touched many people in the Berkshires and beyond and it's popularity is growing everyday. The book is now available in 50 stores and businesses throughout the Berkshires and is being given as a gift by friends, family members, business associates and as company gifts.
Each day, Hillcrest Educational Centers works with 180 kids from the Berkshires and New England. Each child has a traumatic life history like Alejandro is, some not as severe as his and sadly some much worse.

Hillcrest Holds 9th Annual Blood Drive For The Red Cross

This year's annual blood drive yielded 74 usable units of blood, a new Hillcrest record! These units can potentially help or even save the lives of 222 people. One older donor, who is not a Hillcrest employee, said she came to donate again this year because, "...When I came to donate last year, it was such a positive experience I looked forward to coming back again. It's great to see all these fine young people, who are already doing so much for the children, also contributing to the community in this way and with such spirit. It gives me hope for the world and for the future."

Hillcrest Dental Cares "Veterans Smile" program will provide for a dedicated day of oral health care to the homeless veterans of Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires. Funding will support the expenses of a Dentist and Dental Hygienist to work on a day (Friday) that Hillcrest Dental Care is currently closed. In addition to providing a day dedicated to serving our homeless veterans, funding Veterans Smile will also make it possible for increased and more timely access to dental services for other patients, primarily low-income (Mass Health) and/or special needs patients, of which Hillcrest Dental Care is the largest provider of in Western Massachusetts.

"SABIC Innovative Plastics is keeping the long tradition of GE's community volunteering program alive and running. On Friday, July 11 over 30 college interns from SABIC came to Highpoint to volunteer a day of their time. SABIC provided all the materials for any work done and the volunteers did everything from finishing the gazebo roof, building a bridge, painting stairs and stairwells and assembling and painting Adirondack chairs to landscaping, digging out and mulching around the swingsets. We at Hillcrest are very grateful for their donation and want to than SABIC and their volunteers for helping us accomplish a major campus renovation in one day!"
