Our business has been collecting items for them for 6 years now and we just love supporting this local non-profit that has been making such a huge and important impact to our community. They have times when volunteers can help sort donations and get items ready to be sent to the families. I haven't helped with that yet, but hope to soon! Great work NCO!

I have not used Ronald McDonald's services, but I'd love to share my experience at a volunteer for…read morethe "Meals from the Heart" program at RMHC. The team makes it incredibly easy to volunteer, from scheduling, to instructions, to supplies. You pick an available date that works for you, they send a registration link for you to get a group together, they send the suggested recipe with an ingredients list. You get the groceries in advance and arrive between 3:45-4pm (parking in the garage for which they validate). You have two hours to cook dinner using their kitchen, serve dinner at 6 and are invited to eat it yourself, and package leftovers by 6:45. Families are always grateful for the meal and it's a good cause. Staff goes above and beyond to be welcoming, make sure you have everything you need, and embody the mission of the organization. They're doing great work and providing such a valuable service. It's an honor to be able to volunteer in this way and it's a wonderful opportunity that I personally recommend for anyone looking for a one-off/non-regular volunteer opportunity for a small group.

What can you say except this place is awesome?!?!? The staff here are incredible... giving, loving,…read morepatient, and generous. I volunteered here and I was very impressed with the cleanliness, hospitality and heart of all those I interacted with. They have volunteer opportunities to help feed the families living in the facility while loved ones are cared for. It's an amazing process. The place is clean and well maintained. It's also secure which is very nice! I will be back to help again.

Sisters of the Road was founded in 1979 as a stopping point for weary travelers to get a hot meal…read morefor low or no dollars. Today, they mostly serve the local houseless population, but anyone is welcome. All this food/drink would have been $3 ($1.25/plate plus .25 for juice and pudding) except it's free for your first time. You can also work for 15 minutes to earn a meal. I worked for an hour and they gave me $6 worth of meal vouchers. It's not vegan, but I got into town late last night and hadn't eaten anything other than peanut butter and trail mix in like 30 hours, so this gave me new life. Everyone here felt like an equal regardless of your socioeconomic status. This place is an example of how the world should operate. Also, the fettuccine was super dank. They also accept EBT and you can buy meal vouchers for $2 to give to people on the street if you prefer.

I…read morecalled about their kitten caboose program for a rescued feral kitten that was trapped between lanes on the highway. It's truly a miracle it survived 60/70 mph cars driving by. It's very young and seems maybe too young to be without their mama. She proceeded to speak to me rudely and asked the most uneducated questions. She finally mentions they only do spay/neuter no other adoptive options. Yet their website has a whole section for feral kittens... She seemed so bothered to talk to me and unprofessional. It's a bummer because their program has potential to be helpful.

After years of infertility, we started looking into adoption agencies and discovered Christian…read moreFamily Adoptions. We cannot rave more about this agency and their staff. What attracted us most to CFA was the way they treated the birth mom, the way they loved and cared for her and walked with her every step of the way. New to the adoption world, CFA shared their heart for open adoption and there was no turning back for us. The process doesn't happen fast but the staff at CFA was there to answer every question, hold our hands through the tears and encourage us throughout the journey. In 2014 we were matched with the sweetest birth mom and over the next few months, developed a wonderful relationship with her. Three years later our relationship continues to grow and our sweet boy sees his birth mom regularly. We love that he knows her, calls her by a special name. In our view, he can never have too much love in his life and are so grateful to CFA for fostering this relationship. And now here we are again, starting it all over and excited to adopt a second time. There was no question who we would use. We had an incredible experience with Christian Family Adoptions and look forward to another.

There are even used tools in decent condition, and occasionally artwork, appliances, lawn hardware and more. I wouldn't compare it to Goodwill though : they are fairly picky about what they accept as far as donations, and there are no clothes. As someone who's both donated and bought here, I'm a fan. Prices are more than reasonable and you're saving this stuff from going in the dump.
