They offer multiple afterschool programs, tutoring, leadership conferences, groups for kids of all different interests to join, work trips, etc. If you have children in middle school or highschool in the southwest suburbs, check out CEP and find out if there's something of interest for your child. If you're an adult and are interested in volunteering, this is really an outstanding organization to be a part of. CEP has helped many young teens and made on impact on many lives, including my own. I will be a part of CEP for as long as it will have me!

They offer mentoring, tutoring, a variety of volunteer opportunites for youth, and teen leadership oppotunities...to name a few! I have been involved as an adult leader for both the junior high and high school leadership programs and helped out with their after school program. Though they are a pretty small organization they do GREAT BIG things for the teens in the area. I wish I could transplant a few more CEP's throughout the state. Job well done CEP!

Keeping the family together and close through their hospitalized children, enabling them to get better together. I first came into the knowledge of RMHC, When my little brother was born and was hospitalized back in Aiken, SC. I remember my family being extremely grateful and worry free when it came to traveling back and forth and lodging. I recently moved in Chicago and decided to continue to volunteer with RMHC. I am beyond grateful for all that this charity does for people. I have yet to encounter any troublesome staff or fellow volunteers. Every one that comes in contact with the house or the family room, leaves content. It's clean, comfortable, accommodating, a true home away from home. I am looking forward to continue to volunteer here as long as I am able.

Good afternoon, I…read morewould like to commend the team of Vincent, Marie, and Dorothy Sanders at the CEDA Intake Site, Brock Services, 418 E 107th St., Chicago, for their excellent service, professionalism, and promptness over the confusion with a recent utility notice. Team Vincent, Marie, and Dorothy went beyond the basic, instead, they exceeded my expectations by building a genuine connection, promoting active listening, empathy, and problem-solving, and they made me feel valued as a customer. As a former Customer Service Manager for years, I am so impressed that there are still people willing to go above and beyond with integrity. Thank you, Vincent, Marie, and Dorothy, for the positive experience and empathic interactions.

I ABSOLUTELY love the family of workers assisting the community. Vincent & his sister has the…read moreGREATEST attitude, and are very Hospitable to EVERYONE each time I've come here to be serviced and I've been faithfully coming to this family for at least 15 plus years now. Their mom is a total sweetheart as well which she's raised her children to have the same "Servants" heart as she does. The other staff of ladies that assists the family team were very well hand picked as well. They go above their call to get you every program applied to your account that you are qualified for. I have been reaching out to them for the past few months for possible assistance but haven't been able to reach them since they've moved to 107th street location. My relative and I were able to receive assistance with this agency on last year October. That's actually the last time I've heard from them. If anyone knows anything or if they're still servicing the community please comment to this post. I'd love to stick with this agency as opposed to going elsewhere. Other agencies doesn't show as much genuine care as CEDA- Brock services on 107th East of Martin Luther King Drive street

The donation boxes are very convenient and helpful when cleaning out the closet and downsizing,…read moregetting rid of unwanted clothes. Used to put then in bags in the alley for whoever wants and needs to take but oftentimes I find them all messed up, thrown on the ground which defeats my purpose. So off to the donation box it all goes. Wish there were more of the boxes around town. I'd rather drop it off at the box then drive to the Goodwill. Everyone complaining of it being sold etc it's the same thing the Goodwill.and Salvation Army does. But at least I don't have to drive far or wait in line when I'm in a time crunch in a busy week, and don't want to haul bags of stuff in my car for weeks until I am able to go to a Goodwill and don't have the time to list on ebay or marketplace but need closet space at the same time. I think what Gaia is doing is very good. At the end, someone does use the clothes, and they're not thrown around in the alley on the ground where nobody will want them. I could care less for a tax deduction because I'd always forget the slip when tax time comes and plus it don't make much difference anyway. Tried donating to shelters before only to learn that those who work there scavenger the donation and keep what they like/what's newer for themselves instead of giving everything to those at the shelter. If you want to give directly to the homeless then give it to them on the spot. But it's also hard to figure out if the pants size will fit them etc. So when I'm in a time crunch and need to clean out fast, don't want to haul bags of clothes waiting to go to Goodwill and making myself seem like I live in my car with random bags of clothes waiting to be donated, I just drop it off at the Gaia donation box. It's also helpful with the website that gives location of the boxes so if I'm traveling O can easily look up the nearest box. Honestly, think that everyone complaining about the concept of these donation boxes works for Goodwill or Salvation because then they don't get direct donations to sell at the store. Gaia boxes are convenient too being available 24/7 specially when working an odd schedule I can never make it to a Goodwill to drop off. At the end of the day, someone still makes use of the clothes, they don't end up in a landfill and maybe if I don't want to donate such clothes then I'll just not buy anything until my current wardrobe wears out. I don't make a penny from donating to Goodwill either, only the buyer gets to have new clothes, some brand new at a cheap price. But I don't have time for that so I just drop off at Gaia box. I also.like the little projects they have going on, fun stuff, and everything they do on local level at the warehouse to everything being done abroad in the developing countries, environmentally. Keep it up!
