Hill City Elementary has a Little Free Library at the front curb of our school's parking lot. It is stocked with books just waiting to be read! The Little Free Library is a "book-sharing box." Feel free to borrow, read, and return books often.

Community Pantry
Located at the front of the school, our food-sharing box is stocked with non-perishable food items and personal toiletries to support HCES friends and families. Throughout the year, we also offer fresh produce seasonally from our school garden. We hope this initiative provides helpful resources to our community.
