After checking in, we were guided to the kitchen which had all the pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc that you needed to cook dinner. We bought and brought all the ingredients we needed to cook a healthy home-cooked dinner, and dessert. When everything was cooked and ready, the women and children came into the kitchen to eat. We served everyone and then served ourselves and sat down to eat with everyone. We had such a great time chatting with all the women! It was a truly bonding experience. After dinner, we cleaned up and packed up all the leftovers to leave in the fridge before leaving. I look forward to future volunteer opportunities with Samaritan Inns.

One example of the work they do is providing a free kit entitled "Providing for Your Pet's Future Without You," which contains a 6-page fact sheet , wallet alert cards, decals, and caregiver information forms. As pets usually have shorter life spans than their human caregivers, it is nice to be able to provide for your pet's future in case you become ill or die.

I have given you lots of donations over the years to help the critters, especially post-Katrina. I really admire your recent campaign against the evil Michael Vick. However, you simply send too much useless crap in the mail. Socks, key chains, stationery, labels, note cards, piggy banks, umbrellas, t-shirts - you name it, I have received it all. When I see said things arrive in the mail, I think to myself - but I already have an umbrella (and socks and a key chain....) I would prefer my money be used to support the animals, not to mass produce trinkets. Sadly, it has gotten so out of control, that I have started sending my money elsewhere.

Highly recommend visiting one of their support group sessions! They also have events such as outreach and fundraising which are also fun to attend!

I am 100% sure they kidnapped my cat from my community and hostage her for donation and selling as a business rather than a non profit organization. Pure intention matters! I have donated to multiple organizations monthly base, raising fund for good purpose, money is not a problem for me. However, I don't want to reward bad behaviors. The missing time for my cat and the one they posted online matches and the very detailed stripes pattern matches. It's questionable that one employee said she from North Carolina, another one said she from West Virginia. I have my cat since she was born, I can recognize this cat from eye contact. Well, if you know your children, you know them by the spirit, right? I sent them many details to JUST take a look, they refused. It's not built to help ppl or animals at all. I will show how my cat look like and how sick she is now in their foster home. I'm deeply saddened and worried about her. She is territorial as a cat does. She has been a happy cat in her own home, wtf they think this is a rescue. Now I have to either kiss their ass or be assertive to fight against this negativity just to get her rescued from these horrible ppl. F that! If they don't practice as ethical as it should be, this is a big big issue! I put the photos of how my cat looked before and how she looks now in their foster homes(one with name caption) I am seriously furious and frustrated about this. If they couldn't give me an explanation why they made it so difficult to meet the cat. I have to say I will use my popularity and influence to the extreme to make things right!!!
