There are people working every day that have families that live in tents in the woods. Greater Love brings food to them where they are temporarily staying, every morning; they help victims of abuse and their families relocate to safe locations and help them get in contact with organizations that can help them. Greater Love for the Homeless has been on the news multiple times for the work they have done - I support this organization personally even though I am not directly affiliated with it. They are a 501(c)(3) organization and I have put feet on the ground at 5am with their founder to bring food to mothers and children and fathers to help them get back on their feet. If you can help, please do. The homeless aren't an "issue" - they're people just like you. For you older folks, when the Space Shuttle Challenger had that incident - do you have any idea how many engineers and support people with families suddenly couldn't pay their mortgages or car payments or property taxes? This happens more than you think.

This thrift store is relatively small but very organized and packed with all types of treasures. Their prices seemed really fair in my opinion. This thrift store has a lot more antique/vintage items compared to others in the area. They keep those items towards the front. There is also a section for men's, women and kids, toys, dishes, books and more. I liked how organized it felt. Overall it's a great little thrift store with great prices and I will certainly check it out again.

Unfortunately, I had a elderly friend who was in her 90s and had wound up with a feral cat colony that she was trying to feed and take care of on a fixed income. People were dumping cats at her home and she would take them get them fixed and feed them. something happened to one of the cats which was very friendly. He loved to be petted and had an issue with its back and it could hardly walk. I called them and asked them if I could bring the cat in and they could do an x-ray and see what was wrong with the cat because the cat was obviously in incredible pain and falling down. I explained my 90 year old friend was on a fixed income as was I and the cat needed help. They told me I could bring the cat into their clinic but an office visit , X-ray, and rabies shot would be a minimum of $250.00 or more . I explained again it was a cat from a colony and no one owned it. And I couldn't afford it. I asked if I could surrender the cat to get it help and was told they didn't take feral cats! Well there was a rescue in Suntree that took the poor cat and said its spine was broken in 4 places and he was in severe pain and didn't charge me. The animals welfare was the most important thing to the rescue in Suntree. I thought the humane society was supposed to rescue and help sick and injured animals? This one refused to help. I learned my lesson not to donate to them. What a farce.

I used to volunteer a lot, then got out of it as I got older, and was happy to have volunteering put in the forefront of the news with Disney. I knew the volume of people signing up for events, and was pleasantly surprised when I painted a house with Hands On Orlando. The day consisted of painting four houses, with 100 volunteer expected. The HOO coordinator was very organized, arrived early and was very friendly. There was a HOO coordinator for each house, and one who monitored the whole project. They were very clear in their directions, and made a very humid day painting a house in not a great neighbor hood a great experience. Being an annual passholder for Disney, I wasn't worried about the processing time for the receipt of the Disney voucher, and yet it was in my email by Tuesday. Its kind of sad, the coordinator said that the month before, for the same event they had only twenty volunteers, and now all their events are full. While we appreciate all the Disney is doing to help communities, I sure wish more people would volunteer without having to be bribed, and I can't wait til we do it again!

Amazing organization! I love the Hands On network!…read more When I lived in Nashville, I frequently volunteered with Hands on Nashville to sort and create bags of groceries for those in the area living with AIDS. I was also a captain for Hands on Nashville Day, where we painted and spruced up a local high school, and even helped out at the animal shelter a few times. When I moved back to O-town I was super excited to find a local Hands On chapter. There is truly something for everyone here. Whether you like to work with your hands and get dirty, or just sit and hang out with some at-risk kids, or play with the puppies and kitties at the local shelter, Hands on Orlando has a huge network of opportunities, linking you with others who share your passions and organizations that run on the support of volunteers. To sing up, they keep things super simple. Log on to www.handsonorlando.com, create an account, then click on the calendar, and click on the event you wish to volunteer for. A quick sign up and print off of the waiver (or your coordinator can give you one at the time of the event), and you are good to go! The volunteer coordinators are super fun and work well with the organizations to ensure a smooth-flowing but fun volunteer experience. Since I've been back in Orlando, I have had the pleasure of volunteering with Coalition for the Homeless, Clean the World, and even the City of Casselberry through Hands on Orlando. This is a great way to get to know all the awesome local groups that take care of our community. I encourage everyone to find at least one Saturday morning a month to give back in 2015!

This…read moreincredible resort does everything imaginable to give wish kids facing life threatening medical issues and their families the best week of their lives, all at no cost to the families. We were guests here with two of my daughter in 2012 and 2015, and we've been back as volunteers over the past four years. I have only wonderful things to say about this wonderful resort. Founded by Holocaust survivor Henri Landwirth, GKTW is celebrating their 40th birthday. They've hosted over 200,000 wish families, and each wish child has their own gold star on the ceiling of the Castle of Miracles. Each family gets to stay in a two bedroom villa for the week, and all of their meals are provided in Cafe Clayton - the on property restaurant. There is also an ice cream parlor that opens each day at 7:30AM and families are highly encouraged to eat ice cream for breakfast at least once during their stay. In addition, Noah's Nook provides poolside snacks such as nachos, popcorn, chips, and iceys; and you can also get pizza deliveries right to your villa from Miss Merry's Pizzeria. There is so much to do at GKTW! The pool is amazing and is handicap accessible. Actually, absolutely everything at GKTW is fully accessible! There is also a life-sized Candyland Game playground, a beautiful carousel, and two other amusement park rides on site. In Amberville, there are arcade games and the biggest model railroad system I've ever seen. Families can also go fishing, participate in the evening parties, and do STEM activities in the Wonderlab. They can play on the dinosaur themed mini golf course, and get their hair and nails done at the Rockin' Spa. Best of all is the amazingly friendly and welcoming atmosphere at GKTW. The village looks like a fairytale world with brightly colored buildings, whimsical characters, and Mayor Clayton, a well dressed village who "runs the village". The village is spotlessley clean and very well maintained. Each week, volunteers happily fill over 1800 shifts doing everything from scooping ice cream, to serving meals, to power washing, to helping at parties, to running the carousel to help families have the week of their lives. All of the volunteers are so friendly and really go the extra mile to be kind to the wish children and their families. We've been volunteering during our spring school vacation week for the past four years, and it is the BEST! We look forward to it for the whole year and pack as many volunteer shifts into our week as possible, because being at GKTW and helping these incredible families is so rewarding and also fun. I highly recommend GKTW to families whose child qualifies for a wish due to tough medical circumstances, or anyone who would like to help out by volunteering. GKTW truly is the BEST place in the world!
