I have been volunteering with "FMSC" for over 13.5 years. I go with my gym mates, my relatives, friends, co-workers, etc. You have to wear a hairnet, and take off all jewelry, and keep your hands clean, but that is minimal compared to what the kids you are helping face. You scoop vitamins, veggies, soy, and rice into bags, seal them, box them up, and have a wonderful time doing so! The music can be great and fun, one time I was volunteering and they did music trivia while packing. At $0.29 a meal, both your time and [voluntary] donations are being maximized! The organization is based in Christian values, but the prayer at the end is an invitation, not an obligation, so I appreciate the inclusivity. There is also a MarketPlace where you can purchase items that provide for the artisans that make them. My most used item is a clay mug from Haiti. The kids used to eat the clay, but now the artisans use it to make items. If you're on the fence, I suggest you give it a try! It's a couple of hours in your day and the most fun I can picture having in a latex free hairnet!

Our small group has made it a yearly thing to go and do this. The workers they hire are always super warm and welcoming. Its an enjoyable process all around. I do want to mention that it was a bit unfortunate the last time we went to see the teenagers that came just to fulfill their community service hours be so disrespectful. They were chatting and messing on their phones at the end when the staff leader was telling how much we packed. He literally had to pause to tell them to be quiet. Regardless, a joy of an experience and super fun to do. Thank you FMSC for blessing the world with these opportunities.

Our previous adoptions have been meet and take home. We felt nervous leaving the perfect pup behind. I quickly filled out the application and waited for call to set up home visit. After not hearing back in a week, I refilled the application with more information, I sent a personal email and visited another event to talk to someone. Still no word. Then today my heart broke as I received a message that there is an instagram live event with our puppy listed, along with "he's still here". We could have given this puppy a beautiful life. Very sad if working would be the reason he's not home yet.

My first, and only, volunteer project I've done with Little City is working their annual used book sale that takes place at Old Orchard (aka - Westfield) outdoor mall each year. It was a great experience. Kathleen, the volunteer coordinator, was very nice and helpful. Everyone else I met that weekend from Little City were great as well. I am looking forward to next year's event - and working with Little City throughout the year as well. All in all, if you are looking for an organization to contribute volunteer hours to I highly recommend Little City Foundation.

I love the concept of the Little Free Library, of its spirit, leave a book, take a book for free,…read moreof the community who supports this noble idea. Not everyone can afford books. Some have way too many around. It solves every book lover's problems. It's a great concept that spreads all over the city and the country. It spreads the love for books, the adventures they takes us on, especially when we need to escape reality like nowadays. It spreads the idea of the community where people help each other in various ways. I explore near by neighborhoods for walks during COV-19 and while walking around this beautiful hilly street I discovered a cute little wooden house that hosts a Little Free Library. I loved the area even more. Thanks for creating it. Leave a book, take one. Spread the love for books and for fellow book worms. The world got a tad better and nicer once I saw this Free Library. Made my day!

I liked the decor of the box, but both SF locations I stopped by were just bright without the extra touches you tend to find in suburbia, like a bench or stepping stones. This locale had some great fiction and bio novels, but nothing caught my eye. I loved how easy it was to stop by though if you take the train! Yay Little Free Library!

After the loss of our dog, Faith Nugget, my mom wanted to rescue an older dog. I cannot tell you…read morehow many rescues she contacted and never heard back from. Enter Players for Pits. My mom worked with both Rebecca and her sis, Jessica. They do rescue right - they know their dogs intimately and match you to the dog that will work best with your personality and lifestyle. They told us about Stitch (who, yes, looks like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch), the cutest little Chihuahua mix. Jessica brought him over to my parents' house so he could meet his potential new 'rents, inspect the place to make sure it was up to his standards, and meet his potential new cat sis. Of course, he was the perfect fit. Jessica then brought Stitch back the following weekend, along with some of his fave things from her house, so he would still feel at home. He was a little sad and stared out the window for a bit after his foster momma Jessica left, which made us so happy to know how loved he was. He's since settled in and is king of the house, and the perfect guard dog on walks. I couldn't be happier with my new little bro!

They have so many different rooms and capabilities, it certainly is capable of a lot of great ministry.

Everything they do is a pretense to line their own pockets with government funds. Please read their bio: there actually is NO mental health support or services of any kind. The entire organization is run upon the backs of sincere yet naive volunteers. The "new" building is only 3 or 4 years old, yet there is no sufficient ventilation. It is an SBS. It has " sick building syndrome". The full week residents are constantly sick with every possible upper respiratory virus or illness imagine able. COVID ?? The facility doesn't care; they barely acknowledge such things. The food is often less than fresh. The few case managers do little to counsel or help clients to find a home. The managers main concern is to make CERTAIN that the residents ",sign in" every day. That is how they get paid by the government. There is NO medical staff, NO psychologists, and it is run like a locked down mental institution or jail in many ways. I'm too tired to say more. In my 70 years of life, the 3.5 months that I lived there were the most horrible and frightening months ever. I felt much safer living in my car. My title for this self-serving organization is "Journeys,the Road to Perdition". Look up the word "perdition" in a dictionary...it is a perfect description of Journeys. The day that I left Journeys, I put in a phone message,saying "I cannot come back even one more day. This place is psychically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually TOXIC."
