Vision & Mission"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
MessageDear Friends, In 1984, St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church founded the Hildebrand Family Self-Help Center with the goal of helping families most in need. Today, Hildebrand is a community institution, and an independent 501 (c) (3) non-profit agency that has served hundreds of families in Cambridge and the Greater Boston Area. Our staff and board with the assistance of our volunteers, partners and supporters provide shelter, homes, hope, support services, resources, guidance and a helping hand to low-income and homeless families. We help them help themselves. Today, rising housing and living costs are increasing the number of individuals, families and children who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. Please join us in our fight to break the cycle of homelessness and restore hope! You can make a difference, one life, one family, one child and one community at a time.
Sincerely,
|

The Hildebrand Family Self-Help Center’s vision is to break the cycle of homelessness. Our mission is to help create harmonious, supportive and cohesive communities where families are strong, independent and self-sufficient. We provide services that empower low-income and homeless families to achieve long-term stability through permanent housing, economic independence, and a satisfying quality of life. Hildebrand is an oasis; a refuge where families who have lost their homes and are in crisis come for support. We provide families and their children welcoming shelters, affordable homes, and comprehensive support services that meet their personal, social, and economic needs. We help them build a brighter future.
