My work team did a service day and selected Hope Harvest Food Bank as our place to serve our…read morecommunity. I found this group on the website volunteermatch.org. I was contacted within a couple hours of submitting an information request and set up a day and time for my group within a day! Arriving at the location was easy with the directions, signage, and big parking lot. We filled out some simple paperwork and were lead into the back. Our leader gave us a quick history of the food bank and the amount of people they serve, its incredible! Families can come 1x/month. We were lead into the food pantry back where instructions were given about produce packing, pantry item distribution, and building carts of food based on family size. It was very organized and easy to do. We had a great time meeting other volunteers, learning about the food bank, and giving carts of food to those in need. It was sad bringing carts of food out to people and never receiving a "thank you." It makes you wonder what happened to these people that they don't show gratitude to the volunteers of Harvest Hope. I hope the workers get an overflow of blessings and gratitude in other ways.

I've always been interested in helping out at a soup kitchen, but never knew where to get started…read more The logical time for a full-time employee and mom of two young children would be to come with a group from church on a Saturday or Sunday to help serve, but I guess I just do not fit that mold. Thankfully, my place of employment offers a day of service/golf day to do some community volunteering. So, I decided to come here on my birthday to focus on people in need rather than on myself. Most of the ladies and gentlemen who work here are already retired, but they sure treat this place like their job. They are serious about what they do and still have fun and humor doing it. I always get a good dose of laughter when working side by side with these selfless women and men. It does good for one's soul. Before you get started however, it is always best to call and also meet Mrs. Martha (I have yet to meet her) to see, if they have a need for someone to help on a particular day. As mentioned, on the weekends it is more so church groups who come and assist and they have more of a need for volunteers during the weekdays. I believe they are open by 8 am. So from 8 - 11:30 am the food for lunch gets prepped. Then at 11:30 am food gets served to anyone who comes through the line until 12:30 pm and then it is clean-up until 1:30 pm, but you can leave at any time that you have to go. You would think that the food tastes mediocre at best, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually does taste. Pretty much a good home-cooked meal. Then there is either a veggie or fruit salad and some decadent desserts for choice. I had to mention that this is Greer's best kept secret for a yummy meal. There's always something going on behind the scenes with clean-up as well. This place is highly organized and it is a joy to serve here. I have been able to come the last Friday of the month for the past three months. I do not think I will be able to make it this month, but I plan on giving the ladies a call (so they won't miss me, lol) to let them know I hope to be there at the end of November again. I will also check with them on their December holiday needs, because I'm not sure if that's when most people's conscience gets to them and they do help out or if they have more of a need then. Anyway, if anyone has a strong urge to get more involved in their community and DO the right thing, please come check out the Greer Soup Kitchen. They can always use food donations as well. You may not get a thank you from the people you serve, but that is not what it is about to me. It is the right thing to DO when someone is in need or suffering. Find me there the last Friday of the month!

It is good to know that you may not find perfect condition items but you can find great hidden gems. I also try to drop off many of my donations there because I know that it's going to a good cause. I always have great experiences coming to the store. I prefer coming here rather than just buying new items at any other location.

My child enjoyed every opportunity to meet animals in a relaxed and educational environment. They have a wonderful playground outside and is free. The animal tour is $10 / adult and $3 for kids. Worth every penny, my kid had never enjoyed animals until this trip. The outdoor animals are in excellent comfort and clean areas. We fed goats and pigs. Then we went inside and saw Guinea pigs, rabbits, and a lizard! Phenomenal educational opportunity!! You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.

Took him into another local vet last week who basically wanted us to go see oncologist after they did a needle biopsy and it was inconclusive.

After the exam, I was told straight up that my dog didn't need dental cleaning, so I could not book the service. I decided to purchase heartworm preventatives using their online pharmacy, but after EIGHT attempts in a month to get the medication, the order was rejected EVERY SINGLE TIME by their veterinarian. Each time the reason was that there was a prescription on file already so they could not approve an order request, but there WAS no prescription on file to begin with. All I can assume is that Pawproject wants my dog to get heartworm infection and die. I hate Pawproject and will report them to the Georgia Board of Veterinary Medicine. Don't go there.
