I am a volunteer here and I cannot say enough good things about this place from the staff to the volunteers to the resources.

This is a place truly set on helping people and nothing more. It warms my heart knowing there are places like Shalom to help people.

I have to give 3 stars out of 5 for my experience with Fire Dawgs, however if I could give 10 out…read moreof 10 stars for the actual gentlemen who came to the job, I would. They were very polite, friendly, hardworking and apologetic. Now my reasoning for the 3 stars. I scheduled my pick up online the week before for a Thursday pickup. I had a follow up phone call from a AI representative, which was a very frustrating experience. Also, I had a follow up text from Alex, who said he was the president. He confirmed the appointment and asked me to send photos of what needed to be picked up, so they knew how to plan for my pickup. I sent at least 15 photos of several pieces of large furniture and other items. This was for a clean out of my father's house. I had cleaners coming the following day and need everything out for them. I also had our realtor coming on the following Monday to take photos, I also would be returning to my home in Columbus, Ohio (my father's house is in Indiana). Fast forward to the day of my appointment. My scheduled window time was 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. I received a phone call around 3:00 p.m. from the actual hauler saying they were at least 2 hours behind and that I would get another call when they were on their way. They finally made it to my house around 6:30 p.m. I showed them everything it the house that needed to be taken and they told me they wouldn't be able to take it all that day. They were never shown the pictures I sent and they were overbooked on jobs to complete in one day. The dump was already closed and they were only able to take what they had room for in their truck, which they came already at least 1/2 full. They called for another driver to come and he had a little bit of space in his truck, but it was already mostly full. Initially they said they could come back first thing in the morning, but after talking with their manager, they said they wouldn't be able to come back until Monday morning. Well, I had cleaners coming at 9:00 a.m. the day after the appointment that I could not reschedule, so that meant I had to clean up after that. Also, I had to reschedule my realtor for Wednesday instead of Monday. Soooo, Monday was scheduled for the 10:30-1:30 p.m. time slot. Fast forward to Monday, the crew did not show up until around 4:30 p.m. The truck was already partially filled with someone else items. They couldn't load and dump and return because, again, the dump is only open until 5:00 p.m. So they loaded up as much as they could in the truck, took it to their warehouse and returned for a second load. They still couldn't get everything on the second load, so they had to come the next day for a third time. They showed up on time that day and finally took everything. Shout out to Isaiah who did what he could. I ended up missing 2 more days of work for this and spent a fortune on it. *** If you are the owner or manager of Fire Dawgs please reevaluate how you are scheduling your employees for pick ups. It is very disrespectful to the client's time and also very hard on the employees as they are very overbooked and overworked.***

We were looking for a spot not far from home for some quiet and reflection during a life transition…read moreand someone recommended this spot. I'm so glad that they did as it was just what we needed. It is run by donation so the prices vary depending on what you request but we found it to be an amazing deal for the quiet, delicious meals and space to wander in nature and reflect. The main house has several bedrooms with shared baths as well as one or two with a private bath. The main dining space is on the main floor which is where those staying eat dinner together provided by the staff. Other meals are on your own and there are portions of casseroles etc in a freezer for you to choose from and warm up whenever you might want a meal. They have coffee and tea and do ask for a small donation toward the costs of those but it means you can make things when you want and not have to rush for a morning breakfast time! The overall ambience is one of quiet as it is located in a wooded area with some trails around the house. You can stay inside in several rooms or sunroom, or find seating outside on a porch or along the lake or near the fire pit. It would be an amazing spot to host a weekend retreat or go with friends for a day, or bring a small group for a time together. The couple who run the spot are amazing and down to earth, and always willing to stop and have a conversation. They use volunteers to run the retreat center as well so it is a great way to give back to the community by giving of your time to help with meal prep, landscaping and other needed activities. We throughly loved our time there and the food was simply amazing! We are already looking at our calendars to pick a date for next time.

The retreat is a peaceful country setting and the interior and exterior provide plenty of peaceful areas for rest and reflection. I have not stayed overnight, but had the pleasure of Volunteering in the kitchen. It was a great experience to volunteer with a friend and work along side one of the owners in preparing meals for the guests. Everything has been thoughtfully planned out by the Husband and wife duo who own the retreat center. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of the experience. We took a break for lunch and ate in the back of the home where there was a huge deck with several porch swings and tables tucked away overlooking a pond. The fire pit looks absolutely perfect for a crisp evening. If you are looking for a Christian retreat or even a volunteer experience I would highly recommend!
