This year, I planned on a low-key Thanksgiving. No family. No friends. Just eating and doing…read morewhatever I wanted without the hassle of cooking or dressing up! Mama's Kitchen makes it easy with their annual pie sales. I didn't order in time and missed out on dutch apple and the "mystery pie." But I got an apple and a pumpkin. Luckily they had my number from the online order. I got a text to pick up my pies at 4. I had totally forgotten! LOL! The staff is great and it's a great organization to support! Next year I'll order earlier! Happy Thanksgiving!

Nothing but complete incompetence with this organization. My food deliveries are ALWAYS late or do…read morenot show up every Tuesday and then I just found out that my insurance stopped covering them and Mama's kitchen never bothered to contact me to let me know my food delivery was suspended. Not a simple phone call or message or anything! Disgusting ineptitude of the idiot volunteers is all you will find at this place. Don't waste your time or let your insurance waste their money on this place. I highly recommend Mom's Meals. You actually get educated, informed people who will help you get the meals you need.

It was very organize. Nice touch with video. Well explained. The place to volunteer for a good causeread more

This is the place to be and you're supporting Noah Homes which is a non-profit that provides…read moreresidential care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I got early bird tickets through Eventbrite. It's a week long event from 16-22 December from 5pm-8pm. Parking is in the lot next door at Steel Canyon HS. You can either walk over or take a tractor wagon ride. If you need handicap parking then email them for a parking permit. This lot is closer. It's neatly organized with different themes like candy land, North Pole, Christmas tree. It's a one way walkway along the path which gives a clear view to get nice photos. There are no shortage of volunteers who are in red vests, staff is green. I brought my tripod selfie stick but didn't use it because every corner you look, was a volunteer who was eager to snap a photo of you. Face painting and arts and craft. A photo with Santa is a suggested $10 donation. They accept Venmo. You get two 4x6 printed on the spot. There's entertainment like caroling. The entire time, I thought it was an album playing through the loud speaker. But it wasn't. It was a group performing. They are so good! There's a small food court area with vendors and food trucks that sell coffee, hot chocolate, tacos, churros, bacon wrapped hot dog. The port-a-potty are clean. Before the entrance, you can purchase light up head bands, necklaces, wands. One item is $10, two item is $15, three item $20. Remember it's going towards Noah Home. I really enjoyed all the light displays and theme. I wonder if it's the same each year or do they change up the theme. I would attend every year it was the latter.

This was the best event to date. It inspired my 6 year old to want to volunteer there one day.

I spent months looking at Pet Finder trying to find my new baby and was so elated to find this rescue organization. I found many sweet pets ready for adoption however, when it came to dealing with an organizations manager, most came up short and were only in it for the money. I am forever grateful to Jessica and Co., for the wonderful care they took with Poppy and how strenuous their vetting of me was to ensure that I was the right parent for her. We are very much a match made in heaven right down to sharing the same hair color! I will continue to let people know that this is, by far, the very BEST rescue organization in Southern California!
