Decades of partnership and support

Kern-Hill Furniture has been a valued ally of DASCH for over 20 years, with their support spanning generations of the Hill family’s business. The partnership started when a previous DASCH director contacted Nick Hill Sr., to discuss DASCH’s need for furniture that was both higher-quality and longer-lasting for its homes.

Seizing the opportunity to make a meaningful difference, Kern-Hill Furniture stepped in to address these needs. Nick Hill Jr. and his brothers, Andy and Scott Hill, have carried on the Kern-Hill legacy, continuing to supply a wide variety of items to DASCH homes—from furniture and mattresses to appliances.

In addition to furnishing homes, Kern-Hill also attends and supports DASCH Foundation events and fundraisers, regularly donating a prize to the Possibilities Gala.

Making houses feel like a home

“We have always made it a priority to ensure the people DASCH supports are well taken care of and provided with special pricing whenever possible,” shares Nick Jr. “Over the years, we have met many members of the DASCH community, and we have consistently found everyone to be extremely friendly and professional.”

Kern-Hill helps make DASCH houses feel like real homes. By supplying durable, high-quality furniture, they ensure that furnishings remain dependable for years to come. This lasting value enables DASCH and the DASCH Foundation to direct more resources toward other empowering services and programs, knowing that the basic need of a comfortable home is taken care of.

Shared commitment to empowerment

Supporting people with intellectual disabilities is a cause that remains close to the Hill family’s heart. “Helping people gain independence and improve their quality of life is an ongoing challenge, and one we are proud to support,” Nick Jr. says. “We have great respect for the dedication of DASCH employees.”

Having steadfast, community-minded partners like Kern-Hill Furniture is truly invaluable. The strength of DASCH’s mission is rooted in the generosity and compassion of supporters who believe in empowering inclusive communities. With Nick Hill Jr. and the Kern-Hill Furniture team by our side, DASCH continues to move forward. One home, and one generation, at a time.
