This last time we tried to purchase advance tickets to get in earlier and were told at the Lake Forest store they didnt have them and didnt know what we were talking about. Ive also made the suggestion while people are waiting in line to go through and collect their payment and give them their bag so they dont get bottlenecked when they open, but they havent taken that advice to heart :) Anyway, the last couple sales, people are bringing in strollers without children in them, bags from home and all sorts of other chaos which makes this not fun. You can fill A BAG, that they give you, for $20. If you want more, you are supposed to pay for another bag, not fill every stroller and IKEA bag you can bring with you. And you have people who run in and just start scooping things up which is clearly a reseller, which, ok - you pay $20 and you fill your bag with whatever you want, but its not like that. Its become extremely less enjoyable... people ruin everything, haha! I have noticed they also bring things out throughout the sale rather than having it all out at the beginning. I just think it could be run much smoother and user friendly.

Let me start off by saying Destiny is amazing! Super friendly, funny, and easy to talk to, which…read moremakes the whole process more enjoyable, especially if you're donating platelets (since it takes longer and is more demanding on the body). I'll admit last time I went to donate platelets here a couple years back, it was a lot more painful and uncomfortable. So Destiny definitely made an impact on the reputation I had in mind for this location! (I still would donate anyway because I understand the discomfort last time was one time, due to a less skilled phlebotomist). The other staff are very kind as well. I like the selection of films and shows to watch during the donation. I've been wanting to watch The Pitt forever. Anyway.... I'm glad to know my donations help people in need. Also, the Red Cross Blood donor app is very user friendly and makes donations easy to track; I highly recommend. Remember to drink a lot of fluids and eat a good meal before your platelet donation!! Trust me, I got lightheaded because I didn't eat well! Don't be afraid to ask for snacks/drinks before and after; they have plenty! Other than that, everything was great!

OC Bridges is an outstanding program dedicated to supporting adults with intellectual and…read moredevelopmental disabilities. I worked for OC Bridges from 2021 through 2025, serving in several roles, including Job Coach, Program Supervisor, and Program Manager. Throughout my employment, I was consistently impressed by the program's commitment to each participant and their individual goals. As a manager, I especially enjoyed getting to know the participants and their families. I received very positive feedback from families and group homes regarding the quality of services we provided to their loved ones. One of the things I valued most about OC Bridges was its focus on designing each day around the participants' interests, needs, and personal goals while encouraging them to remain active and engaged in the community. The program emphasizes meaningful relationships, personal growth, and individualized support. I highly recommend OC Bridges to anyone interested in working with adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities and helping them achieve their goals while building meaningful connections. I also recommend OC Bridges to families seeking a program that is relationship-centered, community-focused, and dedicated to helping their loved ones reach their full potential. For such families, OC Bridges is an excellent choice.

He had my son lying to me he had him believing that we fought all the time which we did not. Unfortunately having him pick up his room or do dishes is fighting. they did not even want to tell me where my son was. although i did know .

Yesterday I stopped by here and went into the office to see if they took food donations,…read morespecifically cake pan gifts. They did! Cake pan gifts are a 9x13 disposable cake pan from dollar tree, a box of cake mix, can of frosting, birthday card, balloons, (I added a birthday button), birthday candles and a can of sprite. You can google the recipe to make a cake with sprite instead of eggs and oil which is perfect for food banks. I will add a photo of my finished product for guidance. The gal at the front desk was very nice and instructed me to drive around to the side to the large open door. I walked in and someone asked how they could help me. She grabbed a cart and came out to m car and got my three bags that had the 12 cake pan gifts in them. She was so happy and excited to receive them and it made me feel so good!! Cant wait to make more in the future and bring them here.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina from Families Forward and Michael who worked…read moredirectly with the landlord. They are truly some of the best people I have ever had the privilege of working with. Christina is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is handled with care, and she treats you like family. Michael was professional, compassionate, and committed to helping in every way possible. Together, they made a very difficult process feel smooth and stress-free. Their warmth and genuine kindness show in everything they do. Families Forward as an organization is simply outstanding!!! They are so well organized, compassionate, and effective. They are a true blessing to the community, and I am beyond grateful for all of their support. If I could give more than five stars, I would. This group of people is the gold standard of how caseworkers and organizations should operate.

The staff is amazing and really fun to work with . Volunteering the in the office is a great opportunity to gain experience while helping your community. I really enjoyed volunteering at their yearly fundraiser. It's a great event with art, music, food, and inspiring speakers; even though you're volunteering, the staff makes sure that you also have a little time to enjoy the event as well. One of my favorite experiences was volunteering as a docent for the Mobile Learning Center. It was so much fun guiding and watching the kids go through all the stations. My time volunteering with the Wyland Foundation is always a lot of fun and very rewarding.

Great place when you need help. I see a lot of bad reviews here so I want to give my experience at…read moreHuman Option's. The program I was in was the Emergency Shelter for DV. I literally just left yesterday after 3 weeks. This is a 45 day program, however I was offered a place at a transitional living program (with the assistance of my worker at Human Options) that had an available room and of course I couldn't pass it up. Human Options (or any other shelter) does not have a magic wand and will only work if you work the program and take control of your own success. They give you the tools, but you have to use the tools they give you. Be productive, be motivated, be willing to put in the work and you will see results. This is a great program because they let you decide how little or how much you participate in their meetings, and program events. You get your own room and a shared communal space. If you are a single woman no kids then you share a bathroom with one other single woman. Then there are 3 rooms for a parent with children and they all have their own bathroom. All 5 of these rooms in one of the homes they provide (there are 2 homes for Emergency Shelter) You have daily chores (that as long as everyone picks up after themselves isn't bad, but that's not always the case). The woman who were in my home when I was there were always friendly and didn't bother you when you were in your room. No phones on when you are on their property for safety reasons but that's understandable. There is a curfew which is pretty reasonable, and you have to sign in and out when you leave the property but other than that you are free to live pretty normally without too many rules to hinder your progress in getting your life back together. The staff was happy for me to get into a transitional housing and my case worker Donna always seemed like she really cared about my progress. I appreciate the short time i was able to spend here and it was well worth it. I can't wait to see what my future holds for me, and this was one of my first major steps on putting the pieces back together. If I have one suggestion for anyone staying here (or at any shelter) is to be involved in making your future. Don't expect your case worker to waive a magic wand and make it all better. You got yourself here, be your own advocate. If your worker has sent your information to another organization to help you, get their phone number or ask to speak to someone at that organization so they see who YOU are and aren't just reading your profile on a piece of paper. ... you are more than your circumstances and if they are able to hear who you are, what your goals are, and your desire to fix your life you are more likely to stand out in their mind when they are looking to fill a spot. Thank you again Human Options.

It doesn't matter how mild they will reject them or simply won't respond back after putting the parents and child through a very personal interview. We have to disclose meds they may take and they have psychiatrist fill out more paperwork. They ask a ton of personal questions probably knowing right away that they won't accept the child. I'm happy I prepared my daughter for this possibility because they sure haven't replied back after the interview many months ago.
