Davenport Nonprofits and Charities

A friend of mine shared with me about Kinnas House of Love during a dialogue about nonprofits whose staff members walk the walk and talk the talk. When reaching out from a place of helplessness, you want someone in your corner who has already been where you are and has risen from desperation to triumph. <br> <br>The amount of love, care, and tenacity to better the community is unmatched. You can find hope, encouragement, plenty of helping hands and strength to move yourself through whatever hardships you may be experiencing. <br> <br>Kinnas House of Love is a blessing.

What an amazing organization that is focused on our youth and their future. To make them feel better about facing tomorrow with all the world challenges. Scan the QR code to go directly to the website.

My Grandfather was is world war II. He died in November 13, of 2015. He was a rifleman in the Army out of Wisconsin. He was paralyzed from the waist down in a wheelchair. The only wish I have is to see him, my other grandpa that died around the same time, and my miscarriage twin sister. I miss them all and that's my only wish is to see them again someday.

When I was homeless & John Lewis was Still Open in down town Davenport Iowa<br>It saved me & alot of others from starving many times<br>They should have left it open<br>Because there are still people out there that still need a place like that<br>& It really hurt me to see it close<br>

Every cent donated or raised goes to the veterans. No paid staff, all volunteers. This group does wonderful things for our veterans. Each month there is a food basket day, with lunch included as well as some type of special activity or gift (massages, haircuts, chiropractic services, coats, shoes, etc.) One place you can go and see a group of veterans smiling, telling stories, and really enjoying themselves.

As a struggling single mother of two very young ones, I signed up with HMH back in 2006. The worker showed me one place only. Although I wasn't used to living "in in the hood", my options were non existent, so I accepted. The place was nasty, so I was rather taken aback when I was told that I would have to help clean up vacant places for new residents - something that apparently hadn't been done to my place. It took three grown women (myself, my sister, and my step-mom) all day to get the grease off the walls in the kitchen. There were dead roaches, as well as live ones. There was no type of assistance, other than the rent being pretty low (although, $350 for the place I was living in was not worth it). There were no doors inside the house, the bedrooms were just walk throughs. The other tenants used the back hallway as a garbage room (most of their residents are trashy). You have to get permission to spend the night else where, and you're not allowed guests past ten pm - which sucked for me because my friends and I all worked third shift. My worker, who I shall not name, looked as though she hadn't showered in days and hadn't washed her hair in weeks. Her intelligence was lower than an average pre-schoolers, and all she wanted to do was snoop into my personal life. I lived there less than 4 months (it was right next to a drug dealer's house), and I will never seek assistance from those fools again. <br> <br>I've tried posting this twice, being told each time that "my review contains inappropriate language". I'm deleting a four letter word before roaches this time, but oh my god.

This truly IS a 5-star nonprofit. It is headed up by Regina Haddock and she is committed to excellence in everything that she does with the organization. She has suited over 200 women in 2015 and it's only the end of October. She has grown the organization and it's presence in the Quad Cities dramatically year over year for the past 4-5 years. Participants in the program not only are suited, but they are prepped, employed, and followed up with an ongoing group of programs designed to help them succeed in their new jobs. This type of dedication from an organization is truly worthy of supporting as well as volunteering to help succeed.

this is a poorly run organization that should be checked out by the city and state. they are supposed to be a christian based nonprofit helping those with drug and alcohol problems. they have no qualified expert trained staff on hand. they have residents in all their buildings that pay them rent is all. they should really be checked out for compliance to their articles of incorp. and their non profit status.
