Hilary’s Table

Hilary Cheeseman

This ministry was born from an unexpected yes—and sustained by love.


In Clarkston, I walk with refugee youth through everyday life and extraordinary challenges, offering food, faith, family, and a place where they are truly known.

Momma Cheese

I'm known in Clarkston as “Momma Cheese”. I've earned that title by showing up for these teens. I've attended their sports events, picked them up from school, taken them to the Drs. supplied necessary food, guided them through difficult situations. I’ve taken them to get their car permits and car tests. I have moved them into college, helped with proposals and wedding plans, been at their graduations and awards ceremonies. I took them to summer camps and Church events, stayed in a tree house with them and took them to see the ocean for the first time. I have answered late night texts and helped them talk to their parents. I have cooked for them and taken them to experience restaurants for the first time. I have shared my home with them and talked late into the night. I have worked on homework with them and hosted parties and celebrations.

I have shown up!
