The History

Hittle House was started by Heidi & Heather in 2007 after losing their father unexpectedly. Both worked in the social work field but felt compelled to start their own business helping children and families and put their grief to good use. Many of the people that work at Hittle House currently came with us from other agencies and have been with us since the beginning. They are our family as well as our coworkers. We share the same mission, vision, and values. We believe that every child should be living in a stable and loving family after a brief stay with us.

The company was founded by Heidi McAfee and Heather Bush, in loving memory of their father, Donald Hittle.
