HAC Monthly Community Meetings

In partnership with Bryant Neighborhood Center, Hilltop Action Coalition holds its HAC Monthly Community Meeting on the last Monday of the month inviting community members to share updates, information, and resources. Guest speakers from local organizations are invited to share programmatic updates with Hilltop neighbors. Our meetings are a great way to connect and network, as well as receive input from those who live and play in our community. 

Hilltop FED

Hilltop FED (Food Equity Distribution) is our community food pantry that operates on a regular basis and provides food products and other items to Hilltop community members. The site is located at the old Goodwill's Coffee Buzz located at 1212 MLK Jr Way, with the entrance on Earnest S Brazill Street. Hilltop FED is open Thursdays and Fridays from 12pm to 4pm. In partnership with Community Health Care, HAC has been able to activate the empty space to serve the community food and other resources with no barriers. 

We would like to give a special thanks to our partners for their continued support-

Hilltop Neighborhood Cleanup/Planters

Hilltop Action Coalition works with various community and volunteer groups to plan and execute quarterly neighborhood pick up events to keep the community clean and welcoming. In addition to picking up litter along the streets, we work to clean and add plants in the large planters along MLK in order to make them attractive and to reduce litter. 

Hilltop Business Crawl

The Hilltop Business Crawls began in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 closures and Link construction affecting businesses along MLK. Working with local partners, HAC has put on several events, focusing on promoting and supporting brick-and-mortar businesses as well as creating pop-up areas for local micro-businesses, entrepreneurs, and community organizations to connect with the Hilltop community.
