Highlands Community Ministries We are dedicated to supporting our neighbors and strengthening our Highlands community. These resources are coordinated through our full-time ministries.

HCM is an interfaith non-profit organization uniting the efforts and energies of [24] congregations to support and empower our Highlands neighbors in need. We serve residents in zip codes 40204 and 40205 and, as a proud part of the Association of Community Ministries and the sister ministries it represents, we work to create positive change for Louisville at large. For more than four decades, HCM has been a collaboration of concerned neighbors helping to enhance the community at large. While our roots stretch back into the late 1960s, HCM was officially incorporated in 1970 to represent a network of interfaith congregations. Through HCM, these congregations come together to offer the broadest possible resources to all segments of our community—children, families, seniors and those in need. While each ministry has a unique mission and focus, their efforts support the larger goals of our organization. These ministries have been organized through the combined efforts and financial support of interfaith congregations in the Highlands, as well as community grants and the neighbors and local businesses who provide personal donations. In this way, our Highlands residents can directly invest in the long-term community development that’s closest to home. Throughout our long legacy of community development, our approach has remained the same. We believe in a dynamic, evolving, shared-responsibility approach to community support, and our programs have been designed to best facilitate this approach. We create the interfaith unity that drives action—and creates a stronger, more empowered community experience for all.

We have emerged from our post-Give for Good hibernation, completed a truly unreasonable number of naps, and checked the numbers approximately 47 times.

It’s official: 345 donors came together to raise an extraordinary $58,398 for Highlands Community Ministries! But the numbers are only part of the story.

Fourteen Fundraising Champions spent the day texting friends, sharing their stories, and celebrating every gift. Our matching partners inspired hundreds of people to join in. The Outlook Inn hosted a happy hour and collected food for our pantry. The SOB Food Truck fed the crowd and donated 10% of its sales. Our Board, Advisory Council, volunteers, neighbors, and friends all found their own ways to help.

This did not happen because of one person or one big gift. It happened because hundreds of people looked at what their neighbors needed and said, “I can do something.”

That is what a safety net looks like.

To everyone who gave, shared, fundraised, volunteered, collected food, fed us, cheered us on, or patiently waited for us to wake up from our naps: thank you.

You stepped up. You are the safety net.
