Butler Nonprofits and Charities

Reality Tour is an amazing program for families. I love that it includes parent involvement to keep an open discussion between kids and their parents. The Reality Tour gives families a better understanding of how to deal with these topics head on. There is so much to be learned by parents AND kids at the reality tour. I couldn’t recommend this program enough.

A bunch of disgusting vile people that try to ruin lives instead of helping them. A bunch of rich people sitting around trying to figure out how to destroy people just trying to live. Oh and they will sue you to keep you quiet when trying to tell the truth about this corrupt organization

We adopted out cat, Butters (formally known as Major) from Stray Solutions Animal Rescue and just ADORE him. He was so tiny and sickly when we first met him. He was not ready to come to our home at that time. They cared for him and got him healthy and ready to come to his forever home. Prior to us taking him, we were taught how to wash him properly to continue treating his ringworm. We were even given some materials needed to continue his treatment. He is healthy now and the most loving, friendly, and weird cat ever!!! He fetches, loves to have his belly rubbed, loves everyone who comes to visit, and even helped raise a four day old kitten found outside in the mulch. Now they are inseparable.

I joined the Board of Directors in the spring of 2022. Since that time, I have learned that the growing number of homeless female veterans and their small children are an increased, and a lot of times, neglected population. Being a mother with a roof over our heads is something many of us take for granted. A lot of women, that served our great nation, have no where to go, no family around in the area they landed upon discharge and are having trouble becoming stable. The Robin’s Home gives these heroic women a safe harbor until they can get the help needed to get them back on their feet, provide them with not only shelter but the structure needed to be outstanding citizens in their community. Food, clothing and transportation is available and will help lift the burden until they are ready to leave. In Nov of 2022, the Robin’s Home is going one step further and providing a thrift/donation center for the community to not only gain awareness of our organization but to generate the funding needed to purchase another transitional housing program so we can provide more for the ones who still have no where to turn.

What a great service! They have helped me tremendously, gave me courage, love and support. Taught me strength, and self respect. Someday I will be able to donate to them. Fantastic employees

This is a great place to garner new friendships and learn various coping skills for daily living in my community, a nice place to go and feel safe and have fun.

I am very grateful that we finally have a humane officer.

What story? The whole area seems unkept and abandoned. I thought it was up for sale? (Correct me if I'm wrong!) It looks like it is in need of repairs etc., etc. (Noting like the images here!) Will post a photo if I get by there again sometime!<br>Bridget G.

residents in nursing and personal care homes are often a forgotten population. They face the loss of their independence, health, livelihood, or a loved one when entering long-term care. They often have no one or very few family members who visit on a regular basis. In 2016 Don't Stop Dreamin' sponsored excursions for residents from 10 Quality Life Services nursing homes to attend a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. Over 125 residents and staff enjoyed a night out at the ballpark. Many residents never had the opportunity to see in person a professional baseball game. They all had a wonderful time in spite of their physical limitations and cherished the memory of this special event. I spoke to many of the residents and they were overwhelmed by the generosity of Don't Stop Dreamin' to sponsor this Group DreAM. They dressed in their PIrates' gear and cheered on the Bucs to win. The photos from all of the homes bring tears of joy when you see such enthusiasm. I support Don't Stop Dreamin' for sponsoring the Pirate's DreAMS and also the numerous individual DreAMS throughout the year. Life changing experiences that bring everlasting memories.

Great organization. My favorite place to donate my kids clothing.

To the CEO,<br><br>I would like you to know how disappointed I am with your program. I was hoping to have attended and had an honest dialogue about my alcohol use but consistently was talked down on for my differing opinion on alcohol. Not only was I dismissed because you did not like my papers that were written to the format requested and answered the vague prompts given, but you did not allow me to re-write them. I sent them in early to be checked for completion and was instead dismissed without an explanation in person or allowed to re-write what was wrong.<br><br>I hope you are proud of the hardship you have caused with my personal business as well as my ability to visit my ailing grandfather during my last month in America. I had originally wanted to plead guilty back in January so I could lose my license and not have it impact my work during the summer. I understood what I had done was wrong. Unfortunately, my desire to learn through the offered course taught me a few unfortunate lessons. I learned that this program is a way for you to exercise power in a controlled environment over kids who have no choice but to attend. I also learned, once again that my honesty will only get me in more trouble. Most importantly, I learned you struggle with an abuse of power.<br><br>After speaking with people in the Butler County Court house regarding my dismissal I also learned another lesson. Your program has no oversight and although i have a valid grievance, there is nothing that can be done. This is your right as a private organization but wrong because you receive so much business from the local government.<br><br>Many students did not deserve their license or a second chance. Many of the other students did other drugs, had more underage charges before they began the course, and generally did not care. I was a student who wanted to learn, was not happy with the disrespect shown by facilitators towards you, and wished to write an honest paper that could further the dialogue with my own alcohol abuse.<br><br>I hope your wife will remember the student she was so impressed with who had been able join the French Foreign Legion, ran his own business, and was attending this class in between shifts with the 5 hours he usually reserved for sleeping. Had you seen me the way she had perhaps you would have thought twice before dismissing me for papers that were not yet due.<br><br>Unfortunately after reading the above review, you have made a few very questionable decisions. You have threatened to sue me because you did not like what was said. After, you turned around and showed up at one of my friends houses whom had commented on the review (only my name), and then made a Facebook post naming me and my family while calling into question the sate of my mental health.

I have worked or volunteered for Community Care Connections, Inc. for many years. I've been in the human service field for over 35 years. I've never worked with a more committed, compassionate and caring group of people than this one. Every one of the volunteers, staff and Board wear so many hats from management, delivering services, volunteering for the fundraising and other activities to just taking time with the consumers--they do it all. This organization has been serving people with disabilities in Butler and surrounding counties for 42 years, so they are definitely doing it the right way!

Imagine being a teen who has grown up in an under-privileged environment. Society has ingrained into your mind that with the odds set against you that you will not amount to anything. Then someone reaches out to you and tells you that you can make something of yourself, that they believe you can be successful, and that they are going to personally help ensure that you reach your full potential. This is Connecting2Tomorrow. <br> <br>This is a grassroots organization whose board and volunteers are so dedicated to helping at-risk youth in the community. They are making a huge impact in the lives of the teens and young adults who come to them for support. This is a spectacular organization with a great mission. They are providing those in need with leadership skills, workforce preparation, and most importantly, hope that they can have a bright future.

HIS Kids Christian School is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn in a loving Christian environment and receive an excellent education. It is a small school with great student/teacher ratio. The staff are all caring, loving people who want to teach kids about Christ and life. We would like to grow and see the students succeed in everything they do.

This is a fine organization that gives people the chance to perform. Some groups require that you be a volunteer for a while before they give you a chance. Not at Sing Hosanna!If you are good and fit the need for a character you can be selected as more than the chorus. The people are kind and helpful and they all work together to get a production to the stage. A great experience.
