Businesses needing talent can join the Employment Alliance, which supports people with disabilities to be successful in the workplace. Employment specialists match talent to companies and offer support to both, like they do for Silvija and Wegmans.

At Heritage Christian Services, people always come first. Because of that dedication, the agency upholds the highest standards for children, older adults and people with developmental disabilities, and when needs arise – like respite for overextended families – HCS steps in to fill the gap.

About Heritage Christian Services

The agency has grown from one neighborhood home in 1984 to now serving thousands of children and adults. We offer homes, day programs, respite, employment services and much more to ensure people receive the supports they need from staff members who are dedicated to serving people with dignity and compassion. Today, our reach includes 16 counties. To help families who are awaiting support, HCS continues to add homes and programs where people can have meaningful work and be active in their community.

Heritage Christian Services, strives to advance an inclusive and equitable community. Our more than 3,000 employees look beyond the traditional to provide services that ensure meaningful and diverse experiences. Based in western New York, with concentrations in the Rochester and Buffalo Niagara regions, we’re innovating and expanding as the needs of our community grow. We serve our community with programs that promote housing options — and the support within them — along with services that create relevant employment and day habilitation; establish high-quality child care; set the standard for statewide workforce education; ensure robust health and wellness; and embrace self-empowerment.

Show Why You Believe People Should Be Treated With Dignity And Respect

Why do more than 3,000 employees, and thousands more families and friends, support Heritage Christian Services? Their shared belief in our mission – that all people be treated with dignity and respect – powers extraordinary acts of compassion and generosity.

That generosity is needed again. Heritage Christian Services needs support from you, now more than ever. Because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we canceled fundraising events this year, sweeping away revenue that would otherwise be stewarded to things like increasing wages for staff members, providing quality care for the people at Heritage Christian and supporting community impact programs like Heritage Christian Stables.

Your continued dedication to our mission – that all people be treated with dignity and respect – is needed today. To make the greatest impact, visit HeritageChristianServices.org/PowerOfWhy to make a donation today.
