Purchase with a Purpose!…read more I love the idea behind this neat little cart! Everything at Infora- be in the Falling Whistles, Keep a Breast wristbands, or giving Keys, all benefit a certain charitable cause. How can you NOT be amazed at this novel and unique business that actually encourages giving back, not only to their community, but around the world! I love everything they sell, and I love everything the company embodies. This is such a revolutionary step forward for society, and I hope to see more Infora Cause carts, and maybe even stores, open up in the future!!! Bravo!

I got the most warm reception from Maurice( retired US Army 24 years Michigan) and the absolutely…read morefantastic and loving Judy Wolfe, Director, MSW and gerontologist as I popped in to inquire about volunteering to help my fellow Veteran brothers and sisters. I was reading the notices and schedule posted on the outside window when Maurice held the front door open and invited me in. I got to speak with and be with a truly amazing, caring, " real", passionate and kindhearted lady, Judy Wolfe and I got her, I really got her purpose, her love, her drive and her genuine care. God Bless You Judy!! She shared with me how this center came about, their activities, their schedule, the set up and support and upcoming events. This Veteran Center provides avenues for counseling and support, legal and medical services, transportation, education, financial guidance, special services, media, employment and housing assistance and a " buddy" system. I mentioned that my wife is also an MSW and a social worker who did work at the VA assisting veterans. The Santa Clarita Veteran Services center is a non profit community service establishment located in a tiny shopping center( dry cleaner. print shop) on the south side of Lyons just past Orchard Village Rd heading towards Railroad Ave. Veterans Day is in about 9 weeks. It was an honor to serve my great country and an honor to serve and help any which way I can at the Santa Clarita Veteran Services Center!

Experience wise, they don't take much. They are very strict on not taking any furniture or items…read moreclose to that. Only clothing, shoes and possibly miscellaneous items that are non breakable.

I regretted having to get to this point and feeling like my team let me down by being so disorganized, unprepared, after so long of gathering my information. We trusted them and they just added another month of fees for themselves without fully preparing. I had asked them what can i do to prepare for the case and they told me it would be fine. But when the judge asked me questions i was so nervous I forgot a lot of things. They could have prepared ME better too.

I have a daughter with Special Needs and have found the staff to be manipulative, dishonest, unkind and disrespectful. You are told to "submit invoices and they will reimburse you for activiites." However, what you find after waiting a year for reimbursement that either 1. The person who told you this is "gone" and their email has been wiped clean; 2. Oh! Who told you THAT? 3. I have no idea what you are talking about? 3. " You sent me something that is a. Blurry and can't read it, b. Something that won't open {although last week you could} c. Maybe you need to talk to someone else...goes on and on..OR, you can talk to MIJI! Who?? So, then you find out through the Operator who this is and, "oh, no, we can't possibly pay those invoices {even though they were approved multiple times}, as "we just can't do that." It goes on and on. Print and save your emails. Maybe I'll start recording my conversations just to make me feel better. If you have a child or adult in Regional Center, become the squeeky wheel and acknowledge the reality of the situation. I believe, eventually, it will end. I do wonder where they find these people

However, my years as a member here I have seen a shift in culture at this organization. Some workers and volunteers are extremely unprofessional , disrespectful and choose fraternizing with certain members over nurturing a sense of inclusion with the community they serve. Members access to any support or services including your donations are deeply dependent on who they befriend. Safety /privacy preferences are not respected and will be ignored if members want any support or access.
