The Heritage Christian Services Foundation exists to ensure people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have the best care and the best quality of life regardless of how the economy is doing.
With dozens of homes and programs in the Greater Rochester and Buffalo, NY areas, there is opportunity for everyone to get involved with Heritage Christian Services.
Heritage Christian Services is a thriving human services agency in Upstate New York that works to make sure everyone – including children, older adults and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities – feels valued and respected.
Heritage Christian extends beyond disabilities services with its child care centers, community wellness center, thrift store, therapeutic riding center, training division and more.
Work supporting people with disabilities so they can accomplish what's most important in their lives – and we’ll help you accomplish what's most important in yours.
While we celebrate decades of progress, people with disabilities desire and deserve common ground. Your advocacy and action remain essential.
When you make a gift to Heritage Christian Services, you demonstrate your belief that all people have a right to a life of dignity, worth and expression.
From the first neighborhood home in 1984 to now serving thousands through short- and long-term care services and community programs, Heritage Christian upholds the highest standards.

Today our services span across 15 counties in the Rochester and Buffalo-Niagara regions.
Our workforce is the key to our success. We’re growing and hiring people for our direct support role to work with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.
