Their rates are very reasonable especially since they care for the animals, give them any necessary shots/chips and nurse them to health if needed until they find their forever home. I worked mostly with Diane and she was always punctual with replying to emails/texts regarding any dogs of interest. She always gave me timely info and answered any and all of my constant questions and concerns. Meeting times were always flexible and there wasn't a pressure to choose a dog with every meeting. They do their homework on finding the right fit for their animals which I appreciate. They have the animals best interest at heart. That means not every family will get what they want if the fit isn't right. It'd be awful to adopt a dog only to rehome/return the dog a few months later due to bad fit. Keep up the good work!

They have a cute market too with fresh produce and gourmet items. There's even a little casual restaurant here. This place has it all! It's nice to walk around the farm too. Highly recommend if you care about quality food! They also have volunteer opportunities if you'd like to help this wonderful little center!

Where has this place been my whole life? Stepping into the commune that is The Ecology Center is so…read moreincredible - it's a whole world here. The energy is spectacular. they have Friday night farm-to-table dinners, outdoor performances and live music, yoga and meditation in the dome, a market with all their produce and made on-site hot sauces and fermented items, and the star of the show: a regenerative organic farm (the only one in SoCal, might I add!) I came here for the strawberry picking experience and loved every second of it. Two minutes in, I was having so much fun! This space draws me close to what I want to be doing in this life. I'll absolutely be volunteering here and seeing what else will be added to such a beautiful place! I highly recommend the Ecology Center.

Great place to donate items. I called beforehand and made sure that they were open and was able to…read moredonate stuff. The whole process was easy. You enter through their garage, where a friendly security guard helps guide you through the process. They also provide donation receipts if needed. They accept almost everything, including men's and women's clothing, books, shoes, and unbroken kitchenware. The only items they don't accept are children's clothing. The security guard let us know that the donations go directly to people experiencing homelessness, and there is also a women's recovery center upstairs that many of the items support. It feels much better donating here compared to street donation bins that often get tampered with. Highly recommend donating here if you're looking for a meaningful place to give back and wanting to donate your items.

Shelter that helps homeless families to stay for 120 days for Free, to get you back on your feet…read more BUT they don't help everyone, they're very selective regardless if you have children and homeless, so it's a 50/50 chance. They don't really care about the people. You have to fill out an application, & you'll be interviewed based on it. They can provide basic needs like: food, clothing, diapers/wipes, & hygiene products, to the city's they cover. (Cities they cover are: Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Pomona, Montclair, & Upland).

This is the miracle location, that assisted the family to provide a loving forever home for their furry member of the family. The pet adoption center, took care of all the paperwork, did labs to make sure the dogs were healthy, and provided medication, medical treatment, check ups, dental, etc. because they adore our canine friends. They accept donations, and volunteers to walk, help assist, taking care of the dogs. I believe for a small fee, one can adopt a dog here. This is a blessing, having this pet adoption center locally in the community!

Cake pan gifts are a 9x13 disposable cake pan from dollar tree, a box of cake mix, can of frosting, birthday card, balloons, (I added a birthday button), birthday candles and a can of sprite. You can google the recipe to make a cake with sprite instead of eggs and oil which is perfect for food banks. I will add a photo of my finished product for guidance. The gal at the front desk was very nice and instructed me to drive around to the side to the large open door. I walked in and someone asked how they could help me. She grabbed a cart and came out to m car and got my three bags that had the 12 cake pan gifts in them. She was so happy and excited to receive them and it made me feel so good!! Cant wait to make more in the future and bring them here.
