Murfreesboro Nonprofits and Charities

I used the day time shelter. The staff are awesome. They are so kind. They provided me with food, a coat, hot hands, an umbrella, toiletries, hygiene products. I could go on. An endless supply of coffee and creamer. Most importantly, this truly is a safe place for women and for kids. The staff even allowed me to sit in their lobby outside of their hours when the weather was bad on occasion. This is all pretty much unheard of for these types of places and organizations now a days. Thank you!

I don't know where to begin to tell you how great this place is the people there are absolutely wonderful they care they're loving they're quick to respond and they understand your genuine concern for the animals that you're trying to help as well ,I really appreciate the help that they gave me and I'm so happy that I've learned about them and I have passed the word on to anybody that happens to have stray cats around their home they want to help. on their page it shows how to make houses and things like that to keep them warm in the winter time <br>foods and things that they suggest that you feed them It's a Wonderful organization with wonderful people thank you thank you to Rutherford County Cat Rescue....p.s special thanks to Ms Donna your Awsome????????????

The workers here forget to show sincerity or love to the broken families in this situation to begin with. Most definitely feel judged and most definitely being sterotyped. There is no hospitality in the workers I’ve experienced. They seem hateful and mad at the world for having to be there. It’ creates an atmosphere awkward for me and my child and your wrong if you talk to much and ur wrong if u don’t talk enough it’s pretty bad not even going to lie it’s really hard dealing with my unfair situation as is but dealing with it and being judged and hated on makes it even worse of an experience .

Possibility Place is a wonderful place to volunteer. The adults who attend are always enthusiastic and enjoy having volunteers as part of their day. I love how they create individualized programs for each participant that include vocation skills, life skills, academic, life enrichment and health. Each person receives what they need at that time in their life. A BIG bonus is the friendships they make. You can tell they're friends and enjoy quality time together each week. That's something these adults frequently miss out on once they move out of their local school systems by age 22. It's a much needed program. My wish for 2024 is that we can find a larger meeting space so that even more people can participate in the program. <br> <br>I initially started supporting Possibility Place by donating gift items for their annual Pal's Christmas Store. I have continued with that tradition for many years and helping out in other ways when I could. I love how each Pal earns "bucks", to use in the store for holiday shopping, by volunteering in our community. Giving back is part of this wonderful program! <br> <br>In 2022 I was asked to consider joining their Board. After thoughtful consideration I agreed. It's been my honor to support them as a Board Member. <br> <br>We truly appreaciate our parents, family members, volunteers, sponsors, staff and donors. <br>

What a great program. We are beyond elated at the variety of the activities offered.

Exceeded my expectations with their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and efforts in creating an encouraging experience for women.

I am honored to serve as a consultant for development and public relations for Journeys in Community Living. The stellar staff and superb leadership provide a caring, knowledgable and compassionate environment for our clients with disabilities. What a joy to see the interactions as our friends learn job and social skills! This community jewel provides a much-needed service for families who need the assistance and attention that JICL offers. I look forward to developing new community partners, an individual donor socieity, and brodening our coprorate and foundation relations support. We welcome you to get involved as a volunteer, a friend, and hopefully through your financial support to make life better for our friends.

Birkhead53, your account is simply not true, nor does it make sense. Your initial contact was made how exactly? It sounds as though it was either in person or via email, because you later state you called to "ask her what the problem was and was cussed out." Almost Home does not have a published number, so this is not possible, nor do we have any reason to curse at someone who is simply making a request. <br> <br>Use of the terms DNA and DNR don't exactly apply here, as we are an adoption agency, we are not looking to adopt. Interesting use of terminology though. <br> <br>I suspect you to be one of the individuals who was found to be trying to adopt under false pretenses. We do utilize several methods to verify adopter information as well as legal residence, so it is likely you are one of our applicants from this summer who was denied adoption due to a fraudulent application. It's unfortunate that just anyone can come on the internet and make such claims, but our reputation is stellar. <br>

this Youth Organization is very unfair they do not evaluate the children properly they will take your money and will not play your child the whole season they only show interest in their own children trying to give them the spotlight they do not give the other children an opportunity and do not listen to parents concerns they are very unorganized! this year 2016 5 days into practice without any gear they already got their teams made up because they already know who they wanted they didn't even give the other children an opportunity to see what they could do they knew they wanted their kids in the spotlight being quarterbacks running backs and leaving the other kids on the sidelines as they do every year the President and Vice President very bad attitudes very unprofessional and very unfair they need some real coaches out there that evaluate those children properly and give the kids a great opportunity to show what they can do or have tryouts instead of taking everyone's money and not letting their child play Chesney take your money elsewhere do not waste your money on this league

I have Hemophilia B and I didn't know any other hemophiliacs personally until I went to Camp Freedom when I was about 6 years old. The camp is sponsored by the Tennessee Hemophilia & Bleeding Disorders Foundation. Camp Freedom is a place for kids with bleeding disorders to come together to learn and to become part of the community. The bleeding disorders community is large and it becomes your extended family. Kids get to participate in fun activities in a safe environment because many of the staff members are medical professionals. The camp teaches you about teamwork and responsibility. The staff shows you how to care for yourself (learning how to infuse, understanding your disorder) and how to care for others. They show you how to enjoy life safely and not live in fear. For those of us who didn't know anything about their disorder and felt alone, this camp is a life raft in a sea of confusion. I&rsquo;m in college now and I am a volunteer counselor for the camp. I&rsquo;m studying biology and I&rsquo;m going to be a hematologist so I can continue supporting this community that has been so good to me and my family. I recently learned that I also have von Willebrand&rsquo;s Disease and a platelet function defect. I have three bleeding disorders, but I&rsquo;m prepared to handle that thanks to Camp Freedom and THBDF.<br><br>This is why I give.<br><br>Won&rsquo;t you please support the Tennessee Hemophilia and Bleeding Disorders Foundation to keep this camp going and to help other kids like me? They don&rsquo;t have to be alone.<br>

Have worked as a volunteer to assist in providing under-privileged families with Christmas trees and gifts and providing support. They continue to grow and extend their support. great folks to work with!

Incredible organization! It's great to see young people leading the way when it comes to both sharing the Gospel and developing economic sustainability!

Steered straight is amazing. Every school presentation is amazing and powerful. Really truly connects with the youth, public, and educators. You would not be steered in the wrong direction having this program in your schools and community

I first became aware of Fisher House to be built at the Alvin C. York VA Hospital when Andrea Lawrence spoke to the Noon Exchange Club of Murfreesboro. Americanism is one of the pillars of The National Exchange Club so this message drew me closer to the project. <br>Not only did I make a financial donation, not as much as I wanted, I then arranged with Ms Lawrence to be able to post 3 foot by 5 foot American Flags on 8 foot poles from our "Healing Field - Flags of Remembrance" over Memorial Day weekend as a pathway for the groundbreaking ceremony. A beautiful site as you entered the area, and much more of a image when photos were published of the flags. <br>Any time we can help those who served and abided by their oath to defend this country, I try to help. Knowing Fisher House has the same approach makes me want to support more. <br> <br>Don Wright, 2013-2014 National President, National Exchange Club

I donated money to this rescue toward a horse that was pulled from a broker program. The money was never put toward what I intended it to go toward. The horse was never picked up from the Quarantine barn and the person who did the Quarantine was never paid. I asked for my money back and was denied the funds.

I have very much enjoyed working with the Child Advocacy Center of Rutherford County. they do amazing work and are doing so much to support and protect the children of our county. Every staff member goes above and beyond to get the job done and each of them always have the welfare of children as their number 1 priority. The work they do is so valuable and necessary.

The super man responsible for this organization is my son. He is unwavering in his support for, and belief in, providing opportunities for challenged persons to be treated equally! It is inspiring to see the love this group has for the less fortunate.

Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity provides houses to poor families. Houses. Moreover, the new homeowners have helped build the houses they will live in, working alongside of members of the community. This is an extraordinary mission when you think about it. <br> <br>I first became involved with Habitat in 2006, having wanted to do something more active than simply write a check. When I visited the Habitat office, I was struck by the friendliness and enthusiasm of everyone there. Within a few weeks, I was laying baseboard, my first job. In the years since, I have helped with insulation, siding, framing, and painting, often with the future homeowners doing the same thing. <br> <br>The Habitat staff members I've had the good fortune to work with are incredible: Beth and Megan in the office, and Roy, Terry and Jacob on the work sites. Some of the best people I've ever met. <br> <br>

Heartwood is family. If you love forests, Heartwood is your family, too.

Kids in Action is a terrific organization. My son use to take therapy through this organization as well as participate in recreational activities before we moved to Clarksville. I recently referred a friend to KIA who helped her despite their change of focus. I could not say better things about the founder and have heard that she is returned to KIA to bring it back to a central focus on the kids that they serve.
