Redlands Nonprofits and Charities

Provisions of Hope are always ready and willing to provide great clothes, under garments, shoes and food boxes for family's in need. I have had a few homeless teens get all the items they needed to live comfort and start their Senior year of high school with all the basic necessities they need.

They are a wonderful resource for this community. They are willing and able to help men women and children have a wonderful opportunity at a new and productive life. They have served this area for many years, they are well regarded and there’s a high level of confidence for the management and staff. I would recommend this establishment anybody needing help and starting their life over!

Something for everyone here! Beautiful grounds and building. Great place to get a feel for what San Bernardino County was and is. Fun interactive hands-on area for kids to experience orange picking and packing. Great rocks, baskets, cars, trains, special exhibit right now on superheroes and monsters! Plan on enough time to soak it all in.

Equus Medendi Inc is one of the best Nonprofits to assist US Military Veterans. Their Horse therapy program works. I have seen the Miracles first hand. Angie Sheer works tirelessly to make sure she can service as many Veterans as possible.

I was a Pediatric nurse a Loma Linda Children's Hospital. Several years ago I was caring for a young child who was dying. The heartbreak for this family was unbearable. But on top of that they were trying to figure out how they would pay for a funeral for their precious boy. No parents should ever have to suffer this nightmare of losing a child, let alone be concerned about a burial for this child. As his nurse this broke my heart. A few years later, our hospital chaplin Tim Evans, who had witnesses this same tragedy many times, came up with the idea of the Unforgettables. This organization helps many parents each year with financial support to do the unthinkable, bury their precious child. Their motto is each child is always unforgettable. I have witnessed, first hand, their amazing assistance. This organization is the real deal.

2 years ago, I met a 5 year old boy and began treatment due to a trauma history and the current challenges at the time was severe dysregulation that took on the form of aggression towards parents and tearing rooms a part. This boy had been removed from his mother due to her addictions to substances, and then was passed around to various family members before finally landing at paternal grandparents. While being in various family homes, the boy then experienced physical abuse. By the time the boy had begun therapy, he had a tremendous compounding of self-hate, attributing all of his past experiences to the belief “I’m not lovable” and on many occasions would verbalize to me, “If I was good then my family wouldn’t pass me on.” The boy would frequently have severe tantrums and then ask if his caregivers were going to kick him out of the house. Luckily, the caregiver’s saw through the behaviors to see how their grandson was attempting to re-create the belief that no one would like him because of the belief that he was unlovable. This boy in particular, highly enjoyed play therapy, and benefitted greatly from having a safe haven in which to play and (unknowingly) play out emotional themes of trauma. The boy chose my toy bird, that he called “Chirpy” and often played out scenes from his abuse with “Chirpy” and after the play sequence ended, the boy went back to playing as a typical 5-year old. That was the first year of treatment, and in that time the behaviors had decreased significantly, however, there still was exhibited anxiety and challenges in the dynamic the boy was having with grandparents. I then worked with the boy and caregivers in parent-child interactive therapy to continue to support the boy’s ability to decrease the anxiety typically connected with his outbursts. The boy turned 7 this month, and in his last two months of treatment, had met his goals and his behaviors had decreased to the point that he now is able to use coping skills to deal with feelings of stress and frustration, is able to verbalize his wants and feelings to adults, and no longer tantrums. This boy highly benefitted from treatment, and was able to utilize a full two years of weekly therapy. My favorite part about this boy specifically is how differently and more positively he now views himself.

Now open Mondays! A great place to find great deal on gently used and new items. Very friendly and knowledgeable personnel. Would recommend you check them out b-4 patronizing a big box store.<br>Jack B. Russell

I think that Family Service does an amazing job of giving a hand up, but not a hand out. Their services are comprehensive and helpful. Many, many families have been able to recover from hard times through the assistance provided. In order to obtain services that go beyond food and clothing, there are expectations that the family will participate in meaningful ways. I am honored to be a part of the great work they do!

This organization provides low cost family dental services and dresses hundreds of needy school age children in the Redlands and Yucaipa-Calimesa School Districts in partnership with Kohl's Department stores. They raise most of their money via their thrift shop located at 506 West Colton Avenue in Redlands. This organization gives back 92% of their earnings to the community. Most impressive is that they run this organization totally with volunteers (excepting the dental professionals).

Being a student at a continuation school was difficult because of all the drugs there. I was sent to the school because I was using drugs. Being part of the GRIT program really gave me a place to stay clean and sober. Since going through there program I have been clean and drug free. I thank the GRIT and all the Staff for not giving up on me.

The Blessing Center of Redlands is not a Nonprofit organization they ask people who are in need of food for a "donation" of five dollars. Donation or not a nonprofit organization should not be charging for people that are in need of food. Some staff members are rude instead of nice, I'm not sure they understand that these people that need food need to be treated right.

I moved to Redlands 3 years ago and since then I have visited the Smiley Public Library for several occasions. Smiley Library is the only historical library around the area and for that matter it should have better service and enough materials, but unfortunately it has only a few computers and they are very old. Most of the devices does not work and they are never fixed. It does not have programs or a classes for the community. Usually, the employes open late and they close 30 minutes earlier than they suppose to do it. They have bad attitude force people to leave 30 minutes earlier by turning off the lights, turning off the internet, and telling people to leave. It is sad because i have donated many books but i think it should have more founds to improve the service.
