If you need food assistance, you need to register in advance - the pickup is all drive through and contactless-very easy. What I love about this place is that it also provides a huge variety of FRESH foods (fruits, vegetables, baked goods) to clients - so not only is it combating hunger, but it's fighting food waste as well. This is an incredible place to volunteer because you see the impact you are making immediately - fantastic for a group or students looking for SSL hours.

Luckily I've never had to rely on a homeless shelter. But for those who need it, this place is a…read morenice one. It is for those who have mental health issues (as is the case with most homeless) and who are in need of medical services. You can tell this place from the sculpture out front. Once when I was working with a youth program, we had a number of lunches left over from our off-site program. We decided to donate the leftover lunches to Christ House and they were so appreciative. Some of the residents came and helped us unload the truck and they were so happy to have us there that they offered to give us a tour (unfortunately, due to our double parking, we had to decline). If you are in need of help, or looking for a worthwhile volunteering opportunity, this is a great place and a good service to the community.

We have found all the teachers and staff to be caring and warm people who truly care for our children. This is a very diverse, inclusive, and welcoming environment and we have watched our children grow and excel here over the last few years. We have noticed that many other families have also been going to Childtime for years and have been sending multiple children here as well - I think this says a lot about this daycare and how great it is. We highly recommend Childtime!

Took Intro to Watercolors here about a month ago, a 5-week course that started at 7pm and ended at…read more9pm. Online registration was easy with credit card, and they send you a confirmation email. I liked that I did not have to purchase any supplies for this class. Now keep in mind you only come with what you brought; no brushes, paper, or paints were given away at the end. We had a small group and started off practicing watercolor techniques the first day and then jumped into small simple projects; still life, landscape, and abstract watercolors. As a beginner, I was in class with people who were professional artists who took the class as a hobby. I would have preferred to be in a class with newbies like me, so I could spend more time learning technique. But all and all I worked at my own pace and did not allow myself to be distracted by the years of experience of others. Our instructor Tye was kind, encouraging, and fun to work with. I would take another course here, they have plenty to choose from ceramics, printmaking, even a soap making course, and much more. Looking to be creative and meet some interesting people on a random weeknight, this might be your jam.

I was invited to this center by a senior member. I walked through a hallway with rooms for patient…read morevisits with doctors and nurses. The staff was very friendly and professional. I was impressed that all patient visits to doctors and staff are free of charge. They don't ask insurance questions at all! Just what is your health problem! They won't charge your insurance or Medicare/ cad even if you have it! This reminds me of when I was visiting family in Switzerland and hurt my back. Not only was I seen within a few days there was no mention of payment. I just saw the doctor and left! I will never forget that and ADG is exactly like that. However I did not visit there for the health services, it was for the senior center . It was a Saturday and the seniors were Indian American. What a lively crowd! Many were standing in conversations with live music going on in the back of the room. A young Indian singer belting out lively songs and boom boxes and sound system in the back of the room made me want to dance! And I don't mean slow dancing! It was a party atmosphere and I understand it's always like that! I have been to other senior centers, most are pretty subdued. Not this!! Some have live music but music alone does not make a place upbeat. It's the members that do. Everyone seemed happy - lots of discussions going on! I want to give a shout out to Mr. Modi, I believe he is the manager or coordinator of the operation, and his wife Sangeeta. Mr Modi was working the room like an MC; making sure everyone was happy at the Senior Center and that everything was going smoothly in the Health center. I saw him successfully resolving issues which with so many people there, and issues are bound to come up! Sangeeta was also taking care of the huge crowd- there must have been about 120-150. She also answered attendees questions to their satisfaction . Like I said everyone was happy!, smiling and conversing! Sangeeta is also an excellent cook and I devoured an Indian dish made of okra and other vegetables and roti bread. I would highly recommend ADG to everyone! For both their health clinic and Senior Center! The Senior center is in the same "room" or should I say entrance as the health clinic.
