Pierce Nonprofits and Charities

Krystal Masters gave a great tour of the facility. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about your facility and the world of art. The art classes offered at the foundation cover s large range of topics even the world of woodworking which I am very familiar with. I never realized how wood can be incorporated into art projects until heard her presentation. Her knowledge of the history of the facility was top notch and her knowledge of all different aspects of art was equally impressive. <br> <br>Krystal gave an excellent and impressive tour of this incredible organization. Keep up the good work. Without these types of organizations the public would not get a chance to learn about how art can affect their lives.

Save the Chimps is an amazing organization with a single focus - the well being of the Chimps in their care. The Chimps are healthy and happy living on their islands.

HANDS clinic is such a wonderful asset to this community and the residents of St. Lucie County. Beyond grateful to the volunteers and staff that make health care easy.

Missionary Flights International is a nonprofit with a beautiful mission that spreads the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Caribbean by providing reliable transportation to affiliated missionaries and their supplies. The staff and volunteers are like family and are prayerful and welcoming. I highly recommend taking a free tour to see the majestic DC-3's and learn about this Christ centered mission or share your time and volunteer. Either way, go check out Missionary Flights!

The Covid pandemic did not stop this organization from their continued work to preserve and enhance the marine ecosystem in the Indian River and most notably in Moore’s Creek. Looking forward to starting the planting of 1 acre of seagrass in the Creek as soon as permitting is secured.

We took our rescue cat (Blue) to stay with Stephanie at Blue collar Rescue while we moved to our new home. Blue stayed with her for a week.<br><br>Blue went to her as basically as a feral cat who had never spent a night indoors much less having ever used a litter box. Much to our surprise, Blue came back to us happy and of all things LITTER BOX TRAINED. He slept thru the night with absolutely no issues.<br><br>My husband and I have had multiple animals that we had boarded at several facilities.<br><br>None of them compare to Blue Collar Rescue and Stephanie.<br>She even called us the night that we picked up Blue just to check up on him to make sure he was alright and to see if we needed anything.<br><br>Stephanie is a very special person and we trust her totally and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation or exception.<br><br>Nina Passeo Case

I was first introduced to Grace Way Village in 2009. I've witnessed so many people get the help that they needed and many were trained to get ahead. They help with showing dignity and respect to each person entering the doors. During Covid they have gone above and beyond by providing take out meals 4 nights per week. Please consider joining us as we move forward to build the much needed Transitional Living Facility. St. Lucie County has many that could benefit from such a facility. <br>

This agency is a shell. They have no youths involved and the couple worries more about donations than helping the community. They are listed on all websites for donations as non profit organization to help youth at- risks but there are no youths. They just have an empty office space with no activities.

Great all volunteer nonprofit. I enjoy knowing each dollar donated is used to help our community.

This organization does so much for St. Lucie community providing support for art organizations and introducing St. Luciers to different venues of visual, performing, and other types of art and culture. Such a nice job that is nicely done.

We went diving the reef for St Lucie County it was beautiful Bernadette at the bottom of the sea

Greetings to the Benefactors of The Philippine-American Association of the Treasure Coast, Inc.!<br><br>I would like to share my experiences as part of this association. <br><br>I am a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy graduate Batch 2012 from the University of Negros Occidental - Recoletos, Inc. Philippines. I am also a working student assigned at the Property Office of the said University. One of the proud scholars of this association for four years who is really a big help in my studies and to my family. <br><br>That was July 8 2008 when the UNO-R Coordinator of this association asked me about my family and how I became a working student. I told her how financially challenged my family is, yet, how eager and persevere I am to finish my education. My father is a popcorn vendor in my hometown (50 kms. away from the school) and my mother is a plain housewife. I am the second out of 5 siblings and the first one to enter college. I grabbed the scholarship offered by the University as a working student while taking 21 units as Accountancy student. My allowance given to me by my father was Php 300.00 per week which will be used for my meals, photocopies, other contributions, and fare. I really had a hard time budgeting my allowance for my important expenses. I don't buy book, instead I do photocopy or borrow accounting books and reviewers from the Library. Since the school was too far from my hometown, I did tutored a friend everyday after school in lieu of a free stay. <br><br>It was then a week after that Dr. Aboyo told me about the scholarship program of the association, and lucky enough, I was chosen as one of the scholars. Me and my parents were very very much thankful for the association's financial assistance given to me per month. The amount given to me monthly was used for my boarding house expenses, meals, transportation, school's contributions, projects, books, photocopies, and other expenses. It also lessens the burden in my parent's part financially. This association is a part of my degree. They've been my support, and gave me hope to fight for every challenges in life. I, somewhat, honors my diploma to them.<br><br>I am currently working at the University as payroll officer, and the one supporting my parents. I have already sent two of my siblings in college. This Philippine-American Association of the Treasure Coast Inc is my inspiration, and you will always be in heart forever. <br><br>I am always praying for GOD's blessings to the association especially to Dr. Manon Manahan and the company, Dr. Aboyo, and the Scholarship's Office of UNO-R - Ms. Cathy and Ms. Jane... I can't be here, or never be who I am, without you..<br><br>My utmost gratitude and may GOD bless you all..<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Chris Jean F. Delicano<br>Association's Scholar 2008-2012

Hired these guys to pressure wash my roof and driveway. Because they didn't finish on the first day, and because I had to leave town, I reluctantly paid them before the job was complete. BIG MISTAKE. They did a lousy job on the roof, and completely skipped the driveway.<br><br>We spoke to the chairman several times. Each time, he promised to return and fix the job, but never did. I now have to hire someone else to fix the job. <br><br>I don't know about their other services, but I recommend you find someone else to do your pressure washing. If you do hire them, do not give them any money until the job is done.<br>

I happily volunteer my time to Art Mundo. Guess the best way to describe it is; "Cheers, where everybody knows your name!". The four founders have taken nothing and made it into something and that something has taken on a creative life of its own. Way to go Art Mundo.
