I can't emphasize enough how important an organization like this is. I also can't emphasize enough…read morehow difficult it it to reach out to this type of organization so I hope we can do more as a community to make it not as difficult to reach out. I have a parent (mother) who essentially is neglected by the family but particularly the spouse in the family. The spouse will (in front of her) praise her but when she is away he will say that he is a victim of her...when in fact he is the abuser and the manipulator. She essentially spends her days alone writing notes to herself and has stopped communicating with all others including family and friends. When she does have love and kindness shown to her she replies with the same, but the spouse has no initiative to help her get any checkups related to her physical or mental health. While she physically slips away and mentally slips away even further her spouse has made no effort to help her. To me that is neglect and a form of domestic violence. In the past the violence was much more direct with physical abuse (multiple types) and verbal abuse. The victim in this case has no willpower to do anything sadly. Still I struggle to get help and to reach out to this organization or others even though I know I should because the situation is so toxic. My mother remains isolated and stuck in a loop of behaviors (repeated writing notes to herself, repeated lack of communication) that are self-destructive as well. We must do more to make the process easier and to support each other in the community because it is still very difficult..,

I happen to choose my community service at this DRMM Third Street. Not knowing any one i just…read morecalled the contact no mentioned in the website and spoke to Ms.Bellie Lionberger (Coordinator), she was so good in her approach, kind hearted and patient. She took me through the procedure so well and answered my calls every time i called her, it was so comfortable to get in as a volunteer. Thanks to Ms.Bellie. I was at the Third Street, i volunteered to help in the Kitchen serving the Clients Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, also helped in Cleaning the vessels, stocking items, clearing stock etc., The Kitchen Specialist - James and Mike are very hardworking and sincere, they are very good in preparing the food and very kind and supportive. The Supervisor - Ms.Dukes is another very kind hearted and patient person i came across, she would make sure everything is in place and even speak to Clients if there were any concerns. She always had a word of appreciation for everyone who did their job. I could see the responsibility she would take, may be even mobing the floor i have seen her doing it without blaming anyone or any complaints. She has also come to the Kitchen and helped serval times. Once i had informed her about a leak in the refrigerator, she immediately called for the service and ensured this was fixed. This something we all need to learn from, she is a good example how to get things fixed immediately. Ms.Juanita, the case manager, another very Kind hearted person i came across, she would come to the Kitchen to Help us when ever she finds the time and she is some one we all should learn from. Finally the Director - Mr.Samuel Fields, a true man of God!, i loved his sermons, his singing and sharing the word of God, So awesome... this makes me feel to come back every weekend to serve. Mr.Samuel is a down to earth Gentleman who is so humble and listens to everyone and even for the smallest issue he puts himself in to make sure we are all supported. A Great Team Work, As a Director he is respected by every one by his actions. I spent 8 days and all days were special at this site. I am happy to share this review as i see everyone, right from the entrance doing their jobs sincerely. This Site is truly blessed! Even the Clients are happy to come here as i have even spoken to some of them and they have spoken so high about this Site, its service, the food and people. Everyone is so humble and kind. Hats off to this team - DRMM, Third Street !!!

Right after Christmas 2015 my amazing…read morechild support accountant husband sprung the pre-planned the divorce of his dreams on me with a 5 y/o and a 2 month old baby in life-tow. No recourse on the marriage front there (thank GOD, in hindsight), so moved out with the kiddos into a great, safe new place. Fast forward to today, 5 days before needing to make the other half of the rent and being down to 2 diapers with no support in sight, I decided to call OHLSA, a community service agency in Pontiac, to see if they had a free diaper program. Left a couple of voicemails with no call back thus far. I then gave Lighthouse a try as I volunteered for them for a short spell way back when. Being in Waterford now, I decided to try their Clarkston location. Wow, they saved the day and then some! After their intake process, I not only got some diapers and wipes to tide me over for a handful of days, but unexpected bags of food, veggies, and some toiletries that will totally give me some peace of mind for a week or two while I figure things out. The big container of chocolate chip cookies they included put a big smile on my 5 y/o's face and they had an overflow of breads, rolls, and bagels that on racks that they said I could readily help myself as much as I wanted to. I took a few extra to freeze for the time being. Totally amazing and highly unexpected. When I got home, inside one of the bags I even found a note that said: "May God Bless and keep you". *big heart squeeze* I recall attending an appreciation event of some sort they invited me to where the CEO got up and spoke and he seemed like a really genuine, caring guy. Huel Perkins from Fox13 and his wife were even in attendance. Anyway, this place walks their talk. I know everyone I was interacting with at the Pontiac location was very nice. I just wanted to give a shout out to Lighthouse in general so that the public knows what they are all about. They give out what they can based on donations, right down to deodorant, shampoo, and toilet paper. They require some official information to be an ongoing client, but are a little flexible if you are a 1st timer in hyper-need of some essentials. I did not have the social security cards they requested, but they still helped me out on a 1st time emergency service basis with the rest of the info I had. No judging, no stool/lamp questioning action, just HELP. I'm keeping it moving (don't cry for me Argentina, seriously), but if you're looking for a local community organization to support, Lighthouse rocks it out. A heartfelt thanks to the lovely ladies there today for treating me and my kids so nice.
