Montgomery Nonprofits and Charities

We are sick and tired of all the mailings. We have received easily 20 mailings in the past four months, 10 in December alone. Such a waste of money and resources. Seldom a week goes by without our receiving at least one fund raising mailing. <br><br>Be clear. We have donated before, and support your work but your fund raising techniques need modification. We will not donate again until they do.

I am proud to support the Joy to Life Foundation and the incredible work they do in the fight against breast cancer. Joy to Life provides crucial breast health services to underserved and underinsured communities, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to receiving life-saving mammograms. Their commitment to raising awareness and providing accessible care is truly inspiring.<br><br>Through events like the Walk of Life, Joy to Life not only raises funds but also brings together survivors, families, medical professionals, and community members in a meaningful way. As a volunteer, I’ve witnessed firsthand the hope, encouragement, and tangible support this foundation provides to so many people. It’s a compassionate, well-organized nonprofit with a genuine impact in Alabama, and I am grateful to be part of their mission. Highly recommend supporting or getting involved!

NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

Empowerment: We promote confidence, self-efficacy and service to our mission. Compassion: We practice respect, kindness and empathy, and Fairness: We fight for equity and justice.<br><br>What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation’s leading voice on mental health. Today, we are an alliance of more than 600 local Affiliates and 49 State Organizations who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need. At NAMI, we believe a diverse, inclusive and equitable organization (or Alliance) is one where all employees, volunteers and members — regardless of gender, race, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation, education, disability, veteran status or other dimension of diversity — feel valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and to providing equal opportunity for employment, participation and advancement in all programs and worksites.<br><br>More information on NAMI Alabama can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/NamiAlabama ; https://namialabama.org/ ; or (334)396-4797.<br>

Over all this is an amazing facility! The staff truly cares about the animals. It’s a very clean environment. The employees and volunteers are friendly and helpful. Including those who do community service. <br> <br>If you are looking for a pet this is the place for you! If you are looking to volunteer this is the place for you! If you are looking to do *community service, this may not be the place for you. <br> <br>I’ve had numerous horrible encounters with the person in charge of community service. They can be condescending, rude, and terrifying. They have unapologetically and without reason, made me cry on several different occasions. <br> <br>There are tons of positive reviews about this shelter as a whole, and that is well deserved! But for someone checking this page out to find a nice nonprofit to do their community service with, proceed with thick skin and caution. I feel that it needs to be said. <br> <br>I chose this nonprofit because it is near and dear to my heart. As a customer and volunteer I have been so very pleased! As a community service worker I have been severely let down. I hope this was helpful. <br> <br>Please adopt all of the sweet dogs and cats!! And DONATE DONATE DONATE!!! <br> <br>*community service described here is related to court mandated community service.

The Arc of Alabama advocates for the rights and protections of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. I am truly grateful and proud to be a part of this amazing organization! I would encourage everyone to join The Arc of Alabama and make a difference in the lives of those with I/DD and their families!!

Aid to Inmate Mothers is ever diligent in providing much-needed services to incarcerated mothers and their children. <br> <br>Kim Burkhardt <br>Nattional Network of Prison Nonprofits (NC4RSO) <br>

I have worked with Easter Seals Central Alabama since April 2007 and will never leave this place. Easter Seals has created one big family with one goal in mind and that is to help our community with any of their needs we can possibly help with. Even if we can't help you with something we WILL find someone that can. I began my career at Easter Seals disabled with Epilepsy. They were kind, understanding and there for me when I needed them. I had several seizures at work during my first 6 months of employment and every time I woke up from one, I would see a face looking at me with tears in their eyes and compassion in their heart. My husband is mentally ill and we have three children to care for and support, but no matter what hard times we have had they have always been understanding. I now have the pleasure of serving the disabled community through giving durable medical equipment and medical supplies to anyone who is not insured or under-insured. This is the greatest working family I have ever had in my life and I will never leave it. If you ever have the opportunity to serve, work or seek assistance through Easter Seals Central Alabama, you will never want to leave. Many families served by our Great Family still visit and attend parties because of the love they grew to know when being here. It is the number one organization in my eyes.

Child Protect, located in Montgomery, AL is an incredible non-profit that counsels children suffering from sexual and physical abuse. Even after these crimes are reported, their victims must face the traumatic process of providing their account and learning to cope with the experience. The Child Protect staff works very hard to minimize the amount of distress inflicted during the justice and restoration procedure by offering a non-threatening environment and counseling for each child. They truly touch the heart of so many children every year. I have seen this staff at work and it is just a great organization that impacts so many in a positive way after traumatic events that are extremely hard to comprehend.

As a listener, I enjoy a variety of programming. The financial advice shows on this station have been helpful and educational on a broad number of topics. These broadcasts meet the need for a practical approach to daily living issues. The focus on specific needs with a light approach is most welcome.

The United Methodist Children's Home was described to us by a representative of the Alabama Department of Human Resources as a "Shining Star' in the caring for children that it provides. Children and families can fit in to the continuum of care offered by UMCH and feel that they are growing stronger in their daily lives.

I am a registered nurse in the area and have volunteered with this organization over the past 5 years. As a RN, I greatly respect the quality of care provided by this non profit. The staff in this organization works tirelessly toward patient care regardless of daily distractors, patients always come first. This organization has great ideas and plans to improve patient/family care but lacks funding to implement wonderful programs that would greatly benefit patients and families in our community.

Health Services Inc. provides the needed professional health care to the many uninsured families and individuals in the ALabama community who are unemployed, homeless, and have low or fixed incomes. The Social Services Department is the arm of Health Services Inc which network with charities and other health care providers to find financial support to follow up on the primary care decisions made by the primary care physicians/providers for the uninsured patient's care. Without the tremendous efforts and networking on behalf of the uninsured many of the uninsured would go without imaging needs, specialist physician care, and prescription medicines. Despite all of these efforts, there is still a great need for financial support to get patients to follow up care especially for transportation to medical care, surgery assistance, and expensive imaging such as MRIs.
