Hillary Wolfe is someone who approaches each day with clarity, warmth, and a dedicated work ethic. Whether she is sharing a bright laugh with her family, greeting neighbors, or helping customers at her local Safeway, these daily moments reflect her gentle presence and strong commitment to serving others. Known for her welcoming smile and steadfast spirit, Hillary brings a grounded, positive energy wherever she goes.

Before Hillary found her home at Life Services Alternatives (LSA), she was surrounded by a loving and advocacy-driven family. Her late parents, Harvey and Rosalee, built a strong foundation of community support and philanthropy. Over the years, as her family navigated life transitions and health changes, her brothers, Bruce and Merrick, stepped up to help guide her future. They recognized that Hillary deserved a supportive environment where she could continue to grow, express her independence, and remain connected to her community.

“Our connection to LSA is deeply personal,” shared her brother and LSA Board Member, Bruce Wolfe. “As a family, we wanted to ensure Hillary had everything she needed to thrive. LSA has provided that stability and care, allowing her to live fully while giving us peace of mind.”

When Hillary moved into LSA’s Hatikvah House, a home rooted in Jewish values and community connection, she found a place where she belonged. Hillary quickly bonded with her housemates and staff, bringing her personal values of patience, kindness, and caring into the home every day.

Beyond her home, Hillary’s work ethic shines brightly in the local workforce. As a dedicated team member at her local Safeway, Hillary takes pride in helping customers bag their groceries, find items on the shelves, and navigate their shopping.

“My goal is to do a good job helping people at my store,” Hillary explained. “Sometimes it’s busy, but it’s important to be patient, caring, kind, and friendly.”

Hillary’s relationships remain at the center of her journey. She shares a deep bond with her brothers, who continue their family’s multi-generational legacy of supporting LSA and advocating for the I/DD community. Hillary expresses that same pride right back: “I’m very proud of my brothers Bruce and Merrick,” she says with a smile.

With consistent support from the LSA team & her family, Hillary has the platform to work, contribute, and lead with confidence, showing everyone around her what true community inclusion looks like.

Hillary’s story isn’t just about finding a place to live, it’s about leading by example and showing what is possible when adults with I/DD are given the opportunity to work, belong, and thrive. Her family and community are grateful to see her shine in a place that feels like home.
