"Being a part of the Hillsboro Community Foundation has changed the way I interact with Hillsboro because it has pushed me to make time for play and to explore the parts of Hillsboro that I have not seen yet. From Noble Woods Park to Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve, there are so many gems that HCF has introduced me to that have become a part of my weekly life!"
