The Zion Hill Community Development Corporation is a faith-based, 501(c)3 nonprofit that was established in 2002 by the members of the Zion Hill Baptist Church with the express purpose of meeting the needs of individuals and families in a holistic manner.  Zion Hill Community Development Corporation’s programs and services  comprehensively address the whole person—physically, mentally, socially, economically and spiritually.  To date more than 200 individuals and families have been served.

Four primary objectives have been established in order to meet the specific needs of low-income families in the community:

1. Outreach Center for women and children – the outreach center has recently been expanded. It is a place where women and children who are experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness can come to find resources for employment, housing, life skills and more through our New Beginnings Re-Tell Program. This is also the site of our brand new "Z Boutique."
   
2. Affordable housing – everyone needs a safe and affordable place to live. That's why we are working to find ways to build or renovate housing for families in need. The first phase of our project includes providing transitional housing for families in the community.
   
3. Economic development – The Individual Development Account (IDA) savings programs that match individual savings along with finanical literacy workshops are just some of the ways that families are being helped daily. 
   
4. Technology education – through individual and group learning opportunities, people are provided with technology instruction to help close the digital divide.
   

This website provides a glimpse at some of the ways Zion Hill Community Development Corporation continues to live up to our creed of “changing lives and serving with love”. We are hopeful that you will use this website as a tool to help direct individuals and families in need to us so that we can begin to address their immediate and long term needs. 

Also, be sure to visit the "How to Give" and "Get Involved" sections to find out more about ways that you can get involved directly in helping families and supporting the work of the organization.  At Zion Hill CDC we believe that everyone can make a difference.
