Racine Nonprofits and Charities

Wonderful group of people !!! in my time of need for simple support never imagined facebook could be useful anymore but was wrong .I quickly learned theres good things just need to look as i did I`m a Northcentral Maltese convert will be doing what i can to help.

I adopted my Hope from Chrissy's K9 Kastle. She saved my broken heart from total devastation. I totally recommend the Kastle to any of my friends who are looking for a fur baby.

This group truly walks the walk and is helping to save children in their times of need. They continue to put kids first. They supply free kids duffels for organizations such as ERs, fire, EMS and police departments. It is a pleasure and honor. Collaborate with this group!!

I lived at the DeKoven Center for almost 8 years and am very grateful for the time I spent there.<br>It is a place of great beauty and serenity... a place where I found a healing, spiritual presence.<br>My years living there allowed my to rebuild my life, reinvent myself and find internal peace.<br>The DeKoven Center will always hold a special place in my heart.<br><br>Peter Loomans

Healthcare Network has a wonderfully caring staff who go above and beyond on a daily basis to meet the needs of the community. There is no problem that they won’t attempt to find a solution too. This staff really thinks outside of the box!!

Village of Hope, Inc is a essential organization in the community, helping girls and young ladies move successfully in our society. The programs, activities, curriculum, field trips (whether educational or fun) are all well received by the girls in the program, parents and those working/volunteering with the Founder. Girls being inspired, motivated and looking for the guidance/mentoring they need is truly at the Village of Hope, Inc. What a great program that needs to be shared with girls everywhere!

The Racine Zoo is a top-rated Zoological facility located in Racine Wisconsin. This zoo is accredited by the Associations of Zoos and Aquariums and delivers the best quality of care to the animals there. Year after year this zoo wins awards such as "Top Places to take the kids" thanks to the fabulous leadership of executive director Beth Heidorn and the amazing team of staff she has working with her. I and the rest of the team at AmFund, are proud to help support such an amazing zoo!

This organization may be small, but it does provides so much incredible support, outreach, advocacy and education—both to directly support LGBTQ+ people and to educate cishet people about how to be better allies. From the moment you walk in the doors, you will experience incredible love, community, and growth like hardly anywhere else.

This is such a lovely and peaceful place. I find it easy to spiritually center when I am there.Tey have a wonderful variety of programs. I have participated in a number of retreats, and was so impressed that I began to volunteer there. Roger Hansen

I have been volunteering with this organization for about a year now. I started fostering in August of 2019. I have been thoroughly impressed with the organizations way of helping dogs from start to finish. The volunteers help in so many ways and the leadership is extremely helpful and well organized. Fostering has given me an even new insight to how well they work with the foster homes and take care of the dogs from start to adoption, and even after adoption.

I like that everyone who is a member has a mental illness and that we are in charge of making changes and decisions. All members make the Clubhouse run smooth.

Higher personnel were not connected to participants and were very selfish in all decisions. Very unfriendly and unprofessional

Unspoken loving animal rescue received a dog for rocky mount nc by the name of Tanis her real name is Diamond .. she is a 7 year old being listed as a Boston Terrier .. unspoken loving animal rescue was notified that the dogs owner was looking for them and never made contact .. after hunting them down we found the foster mom who works with the agency and she refused to give the dogs back after she asked for $400 and heartworm medicine receipts. We didn’t want to spay the dogs and she said it was against her personal ethics and refused to give the dog back .. she said she a middle man but it turns out she was actually the decision maker. She had the dog transferred to Maryland to another agency and they refuse to release the information. They are so secretive and shady. For all the proof of contact between us and unspoken loving animal rescue please take a look at our Facebook page SEND DIAMOND AND LAYLA HOME... we want justice .. we want our dogs back!!

Junior League of Racine has a 100 year legacy of promoting voluntarism, developing trained volunteers and improving our community. I am proud to be a member, donor and volunteer of an organization with a rich history of community impact!

Helping the homeless in Harrisburg. <br>For the last 8 years my family has dedicate countless hours ministering to those in our county that are less fortunate than we are. We believe that all people are loved by God and that we as Christians are called to love those who often are forgotten and overlooked. Those we serve have become friends and family to us. Isaiah 61 Ministries (isaiah61min.org) was born out of our love for serving others and a much bigger a plan that God had laid before us. Being able to help others with food, hygiene products, blankets, tents, clothing, and other basic needs has been something that has opened our families eyes to how blessed we truly are and just how often we take our blessings for granted. The most amazing thing happens when you go out with the intention to serve others...the one doing the serving often is blessed by those they serve. I have learned much from those we serve and have grown to love more deeply through my experiences serving.

There is a lot of people here that can attest that Lika Saliscente and Mike Cee are dubious individuals for their participation on many MySpace blogs that were violent, libelous, threatening and menacing. These two individuals also have targeted people who have openly disagreed with the practices of YVI to the point of attempting to discredit rival child abuse organizations. Petra Luna has gone on record as punishing via humiliating blogs and other media, people even accused of crimes they may or may not have committed. It is more a vigilante organization bent on destroying people, rather than a true advocacy group. To date, they are not responsible for a single piece of worthwhile legislation on the local, state, or national level. These people should be ignored, or even reported, because the income they incur is not properly audited, as they will not release itemization of where exactly YVI money goes.

The Racine Scouts provides a wonderful opportunity for young men and women to grow and develop as individuals. During their time with the groups they are taught self pride, leadership skills, dependability and accountability skills, and most importantly they are taught to be kind and respectful towards others! This group is a wonderful caring and compassionate group that I am honored to have been part of on a volunteer level. You cannot imagine the impact not only on my life, but the lives of many others that has come about because of this fine organization.

I have worked with Laura Sumner-Coon at another non-profit - San Juan Diego Middle School. I saw all the expertise she has to be Executive Director of a non-profit. When SOAR began, I knew nothing about it. I was not aware of the possibilities for children who wanted to go to private schools that did not have the means to go. When San Juan Diego Middle closed because of the economy and grants were how the school fuctioned, Laura stepped up took everything in her power to be sure SOAR was up and running so the San Juan Diego children who did not have money for a private school could go to a private school. The scholarships for the children to go to the private schools is from constant letter writing, grant writing, contacting individuals, businesses. Laura knows how the system works. I was fortunate to be helping with closing the books of San Juan - when children would come in with their parents to her office saying they wanted to go to a private school. This is a wonderful non-profit. Also besides the scholarships given to children, Laura has a mentoring program with each child that has a scholarship to have a mentor whether in high school or middle school or grade school. I was fortunate last year to have an eighth grader at John Paul Academy II - besides me helping her every Tuesday afternoon, she taught me a lot too! The Christmas program was very enjoyable and I helped with it because my mentee was in it as a sheep. She had to make her own custume and did a great job. The bonding of mentor/mentee is amazing and very meaningfull. SOAR has a breakfast I think it is four times a year - to ask people to be Table Captains and invite people to hear the story of SOAR and give. Laura makes sure there are students there and they tell their story. I am moved by Laura's compassion to help the children that want to learn in a private school. The Board of Directors are wonderful and also willing to help Laura. This year I am mentoring a sixth grader I just started last night. We worked with Science and again I'm learning all over again. I'm also a donor to help these children go to and learn at a private school. SOAR is a Compassionate/Worthwhile non-profit.

My personal experience with the Board, Staff and musicians is that there is a sincere effort to provide quality music to the community.
