Easton Nonprofits and Charities

I volunteered at the sheltered for approx 1.5 years and was asked to join the board in May 2021 by the Executive Director (ED) and despite my better judgement i agreed as i felt that i could help effect change on issues i and many others had been voicing oncerns about to this shelters director such as the lack of transparency to the public. I served as a board member from June 2021 to Dec 2021 when i was (secretly) voted off by 5 of the 6 board members. 1 quit shortly after my removal as he was also secretly left out of the vote to remove me, (That meeting was held by zoom and neither he not i was let into the zoom until the vote had been decided by the remaining 5.) I did nothing other than bring to light serious questions about animal care, safety practices, public fund solicitation, programming, policies and the qualifications, instability, and questionable actions of the ED. None of the 5 board members currently serving have spent more than 15 minutes in the past year on the shelter premisis to volunteer for anything therefore their imparting direction seems less than sensible. I know this as i did spend countless hours volunteering over the year prior to my joining the board. The ED is not forthcoming, hiding behind gaslighting. Deception is used to avoid having to explain her actions or lack of actions. There has been massive staff and volunteer turnover since her arrival 5 yrs ago and the remaining board members turn a blind eye despite receiving numerous written requests to review her management skills as it pertains to leadership qualities and employee relations. Ex staff and volunteers have been requesting an independent forensic audit, requests for review of staff turnover and reasoning, and transparency with issues like the whistle blower policy, volunteer handbook, employee handbook, social media policy, etc. Staff and volunteers are harrassed and bullied and then terminated for speaking up told they violated a policy they know nothing of and are not presented with. If you ask any questions or make any suggestions you are told never to return at the request of the ED. When contacting the ED or board members its termed harrassment and the return email threatens legal action. As a no kill shelter, last fall a dog was euthanized without a vet on staff, at the direction of the ED and board president (who would not have known the dog if he fell over him). The shelter used to have a behavior committee (that included a dog trainer) but despite public requests for the dog to be at the very least reviewed the ED gave the order to euthanize. There was not and currently remains NO veterinarian on staff, so who euthanized the dog and how? The ED took to her shelterpodcast after the dog was euthanized and told the public to not question the staff and to not discuss it, In America though we have the freedom of speech. There remains no veterinarian on staff and they are not operating a clinic any longer. The only staffer qualified to dispense any type of medical care without calling in a veterinarian, is the veterinary tech. The ED harasses, bullys publicly on her shelter podcast (Pawfee Talk/posted on the shelter facebook page weekly, see for yourself) volunteers, ex staff, public businesses in the county etc. She uses suffering animals to publicly raise funds and then the money is not used for the animal it was raised for, it's all deception and very disturbing. She will make a video of a distraught dog howling and crying in the kennel and then say.. "but it raises a lot of money". The remaining kennel and cat staff carrying out the daily tasks are exceptionally caring and deserve accolades for working under this tyrannical dictator. if there was a no star rating that is what i would chose, all due to leadership. Their public board meeting is April 19, 2022 6pm through zoom, the link is yet to be published ( transparency) but check their website in the coming days, unless of course they hide that

I am a Board Member of this nonprofit organization, and I am proud of the work the leader and the team are doing. I am committed to doing all I am capable of doing to bring more successful results to our team and the individuals and organizations TSS, Inc. serves.

Great non-profit who has been helping the community in the west ward of Easton, Pa since 1953. The after school, summer camp and senior programs provide great value to the community. They are very inclusive and understand the community needs. They have an engaging staff that is innovative, caring, supportive and also bilingual.

Great Ministry, Wonderful People, Privacy heavily respected and they reflect the love of Jesus in all they do.

My name is Maryann and my husband and I just resued our 4th fur baby from Roadtriprescues, they are great people to work with. Everyone is so friendly and are really caring.

This company produced a podcast which shamed a professional in the field, hurling insults in a decidedly unprofessional manner. A company run by a bully, giving a platform for small persons to shame others, is not worth anyone's money. This same individual has been banned from a large professional group owing to his rude, childish, and unprofessional behavior. Proceed with caution--or, better yet, find a new company to work with.

I was the former Executive Director and the budget was under my team, $700.000 and change I have run into countless people who say they have a great deal of trouble accessing services, They were treated rudely and left without getting any assistance,<br>The Board of Directors is unknown and there is never any publicity in fact another Agency in the same town under the leadership of one of my former employees took over another Agency and renamed it the Easton Community Center.This has led to a great deal of confusion to the Community as to who is who? They also utilized the same programming causing EANC to fail the Community in any and every aspect of service,<br>A shame that this Board allowed this to happen and one would wonder if they knew what they are doing.<br>Roberts rules of Order are completely ignored , So in essence I would not donate to this organization, I am saddened by the way it has gone downhill. Someone needs to step in and train the Board on proper practices

I volunteer at the Food Pantry that is one part of ProJeCt of Easton's service & commitment to the community. As volunteers, we serve the clients from Northampton County due to food insufficiency issues in their homes by stocking the shelves as products arrive and helping them pick out food items as well. We work with families, veterans, single parents, the elderly and even those who may have a short term need due to job loss. Those who volunteer listen to the needs of the clients, sometimes just lending an ear to hear their stories while they are shopping. Those I volunteer with at the pantry, understand that we all work together as a team with respect for one another and those we serve in the community.
