If you are looking for a great way to help homeless men get back on their feet to return to their productive and happy lives, the Augusta Rescue Mission is a good place to start.

First let me state that my experience with the Dream Center is as a volunteer. That role still…read moreafforded me the opportunity to learn about the many great services they provide for Augusta and their team, but I do recognize that is not the same as if I were a recipient of their services. Centrally located in South Augusta, this facility is amazing. From the moment you arrive, the team is welcoming and smiling and making you feel like this is a family reunion and suddenly you are now a member. From the exterior it may appear to be nothing of worth, but trust me it is a treasure chest filled with benevolence. There is a weekly grocery pickup service, meals provided, food bank, clothing bank, community services mediation, and more. The facility is two stories and a basketball court-sized gym area. The team is collaborative in focus, which is what brought about my involvement with them, and always seeking to come alongside their neighbors. If you are looking for a local non-profit to volunteer with, start here.

This is a great concept but the staff here is horrible. They obviously have no concept of basic…read morehuman decency and kindness because when my aunt returned to her room from having a c-section and a complicated pregnancy, they made her wash her own sheets and clean her own room. Her water broke in the room and she returned... after 3 days... to it still there. The room was untouched. Thats disgusting and ridiculous! When she asked for help, there was no compassion. She was expected to figured things out for herself... and she could barely move around... she's been bound to a wheelchair for weeks. I understand this is a nonprofit so certain regulations must be put into place to accommodate large numbers but cleaning a struggling pregnant ladies room after she's been thru hell to deliver a baby is the absolute LEAST that I expect.

Please DO NOT send your loved ones here if you care about them. I am constantly on the phone with…read moremy partner who has been there for 3 months and I've heard not only the staff that works in the office but the house "mothers" talk to her and other residents Like they are CRIMINALS. They are not professional AT ALL. 90% of their staff are ghetto and treat these poor women that are trying to get help like CRAP. I've heard them snap on her for the smallest things like asking about being on the grocery list to asking about her getting her papers signed. I'm talking about complete cussing and yelling at her infront of other residents embarrassing her to the point of crying. She is afraid to let the director know because others have reported this same problem and it seems like all of them stick together and lie for each other. And that isn't the only biggest issue on the staff, there is another nightmare that has been addressed MULTIPLE TIMES and has BeenVerified looked. One of the older house mothers that work here has been caught taking the blankets off these women that are undressed and ASLEEP in their beds at night and she will stand over them and just STARE AT THEM. She has touched residents and made inappropriate comments as well. THIS IS SICK. I do not understand for the life of me why this woman has not been fired yet. If you are an official reading this please help these ladies. Another thing - there is NO FOOD BEING COOKED FOR THEM ON THE WEEKENDS. If your family member or you do not have the funds for food good luck eating over the weekend because there is NO ONE there cooking. This used to be an amazing rehab when Dr.A was there about 5 years ago because I myself went there and since she left this place has turned into a DUMP. I've also been informed that they push suboxone and methadone on the girls here and many of them abuse and sell their medications. There IS NO RECOVERY HERE. I'm BEGGING you please DO NOT send your loved ones to this free rehab because they WILL NOT get the love, care, respect, treatment or environment that they need..

The Chamber of Commerce moved from this location years ago and the building is now used for programming and other Augusta city uses. I visited for a workshop being held for nonprofits. The building has been stripped to it's bare bones. It's probably that way to encourage someone to rent or buy the property. At the moment, an Augusta Arts group is using it to display some really cool artwork. The building has two floors and would be really lovely if renovated. Again, the location is prime. It's very unique.
