Temecula Nonprofits and Charities

I must admit, that I owe a great deal to MasterPath. From adolescence to my early 70s I had been a pragmatist and an empiricist. For me, if an issue couldn't be backed up with reliable evidence, it was dismissed. Only knowledge from peer reviewed sources was worthy of consideration. But I wasn't entirely satisfied with some rather important things. Was one's purpose in life solely what one chose it to be? I firmly rejected that it should be imposed from others. Was the end of life, the true conclusion to my existence? Seemed likely, but unsatisfying. Are base emotions such as anger, vanity, attachment, and lust merely an inevitable part of being human? When trying to discern who I am, and my deeper levels, was I only scratching surface and seeing what appealed to me? I found MasterPath through someone whom I admired. It's westernization of ancient eastern philosophy immediately appealed to me in many ways. Contemplating emotions that lift you and your state of consciousness; love

A wonderful non profit that truly cares for it's residents.

Though I love to thrift, I never get my hopes up. You just never know if you'll find something so one-of-a-kind or nothing at all. But the first time I shopped at AL, I was utterly amazed as it far exceeded my expectations! From toys to clothes and books to a luxury dinnerware set for only $5--I continued to find beyond belief finds from everywhere in between! AL has so much to offer for unbelievably low prices and I greatly look forward to make shopping at AL a routinely experience. Not to mention the fun, weekly sales! Would definitely recommend and highly impressed :)

I have worked with The ARRC for many years. I know that Albert Renteria has the best interest of veterans like myself. He has helped me immeasurably through the years as well.

I have witnessed first hand all of the wonderful things Charity for Charity does. Not only do they fulfill wishes to individuals with life threatening illness or traumatic injury - they also keep these individuals in their family by hosting various beneficiary events throughout the year. The beneficiaries become their own families together. It's a beautiful charity to be involved in. They are run solely on donations and fundraisers.

Jacob's House is an amazing hospitality House so you can be close to your loved ones while they are hospitalized. It is only about a mile from the hospital. Jacob's House provides food, shelter, toiletries, etc for as long as you need. So that's one less thing you need to worry about. The staff and volunteers are so kind. I wish there could be a house like this in every city. I am so grateful to be a volunteer for this wonderful place.

Started my career here 25 years ago and fell in love with working with kids!

Amazing cause and approach to helping survivors heal. <br>

I became aware of NAMI after my mother took a class with them to learn about mental health. She came away with a much better idea of what my life was like living with bipolar, adhd and PTSD and it greatly improved our relationship. After seeing how beneficial NAMI had been for my mother, I took a peer class and later became a volunteer leading peer to peer classes, and facilitating a young adult support group for a short time. I have since found myself unable to participate due to being homebound, but I highly recommend anyone who is looking for family or peer support in regards to mental health to reach out to NAMI. They're an amazing group of wonderful people who are warm, friendly, and passionate about helping others. If you feel drawn to donate or volunteer your time, I would strongly encourage you to do so.

Every event that helps veterans, I see Raven and MilVet there! Also having been the recipient of care packages while I was with the Marines as a Corpsman in Vietnam, I love that MilVet sends packages to the troops. MilVet is an awesome supporter of Veterans.<br>

As a Board Member and Writing Instructor since the nonprofit's inception, I am proud of the way the organization is making a positive impact in our community. We are inclusive and welcoming to everyone who walks through our doors and enjoy providing an arts education to all. I'm fortunate to be Program Manager/Head Writer for our Video Production Program, which provides job-training to adults with disabilities. This under-served population can bring so much to the workforce and JDSCA is helping them achieve that opportunity. JDSCA will only continue to grow and I look forward to seeing how many people of all ages and abilities we can serve for years to come.

The Coronel-Endaya Foundation has touch the lives of people. They have supported the underserved individual in various ways and has helped them achieve their goals in life. <br>

Vlada Vladic was my inspiration! I was following her work for years and after talking to her I finally gained courage to found a nonprofit organization - Serbian Cultural Center San Diego! It was an honor and privilege to collaborate a cooking class with Vlada a few weeks ago. I loved Vlada's spirit, positive energy and her patience during the class. I never used some of the seasoning she suggested in the recipe, but I have to admit, I was blown away with the outcome and the taste of the meal we cooked! I've heard excellent comments from all the participants! It was fun, educational and yummy!!! I can't wait for another opportunity to work with Vlada!

“I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that your cleaning crew did a great job. I was offered, through The Shella Foundation, several hours of cleaning services for our elderly mother's home just prior to the Holidays. Shella Care are a wonderful team and they cleaned the home really well. This was the first time I had a cleaning team at her home. I was amazingly surprised at the professional job done. The ladies were very courteous and friendly. We would not have survived the Holidays without their services.”

Great group of people. They actually listen and care what I had to say.

This program helped me get a lot of information about different STEM jobs and careers that I might be interested in. I’m now a senior in high school and finally decided what career I wanted to choose. Through the program I made life long friends and got to participate in many activities and field trips. I definitely recommend this for any student who wants to feel included in this amazing program !

Spent hundreds/thousands of dollars on concrete toxic wells in Ghana. Practiced medicine without a license in Ghana. Gave minor children medication without parent’s consent. Took photos of minor children and used them on their social media platforms without their parent’s consent. Built an altar/monument dedicating a school that was initially built by the people of Ghana and dedicated this building to an old white guy who had a heart attack there. Were aware June 30,2019 that one of their members is a sexual predator. Asked him to leave organization in December of 2019. To date, had made no contact with the people of Ghana to enquire about possible victims of this man even though his wife expressed grave concerns. Many examples of systemic racism.

As a first time audience member, I was blown away by the level of professional quality performance this orchestra gave during their most recent concert earlier this month on Oct. 5, 2019. I was invited by my friend who is not exactly a "classical music" lover in the traditional sense, but he assured me I would not be disappointed. How right he was! This is definitely one of Temecula's cultural gems, and I am delighted to see that our city has an orchestra that we can be proud of. I will be bringing MY friends to their next concerts. I encourage everyone to do the same too!

I have worked with Havens for the Arts as a volunteer for 5 years now and I am constantly amazed at the impact they have in the community. They offer 2 camps over the Summer to allow students to participate in creating, through rehearsal and performance, a Shakespeare masterpiece that they perform for the community at the end of their 2 week run. These kids get so involved in the rehearsal and performance process that they don't even realize that the performance they present at the end is so spectacular. And when you realize that these are kids performing a Shakespearean play....well, it just about blows your mind. These students get such a thorough knowledge of Shakespeare and his works by the end that it carries them through their high school years where they need to use that knowledge when they study one of Shakespeare's works for school. I know it to be true as both of my kids did just that. And after it was over they told me that without the experience they had with the Shakespeare Camps, and working through rehearsals and such, they wouldn't have had the deeper knowledge they did have as a result. Even their teachers commented on how well they knew the works and understood the plays. I will forever thank Havens for the Arts/Shakespeare in the Vines for their help with teaching our youth about beauty that most kids don't get a chance to experience. That is why I volunteer. I believe in what they do and what they give to the community every year through their performances, and especially through their youth camps.

Temecula Education Foundation is a great group of individuals working hard to provide funding to our K-12 educational system. They host several fundraisers throughout the year and award grants to the local teachers. These grants help to support innovative teaching and provide opportunities to the students.

The Center has been in operation since 1978 and serves over 2,000 people a month. Clients are not limited to the elderly, anyone in need of food is welcome. As for the previous reviewer, they obviously have a grudge and are trying to smear us.

OUR NICHOLAS FOUNDATION STRIVES TO INCREASE AUTISM AWARENESS AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR EDUCATION, WORK OPPORTUNITIES, THERAPIES, FAMILIES, AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS THAT ENRICH THE LIVES OF CHILDREN & ADULTS WITH ASD. OUR HOPE IS THAT WE WILL PROVIDE THOSE ON THE SPECTRUM AND THEIR FAMILIES THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO THRIVE.

I was part of the cycling program this year with Phoenix Patriot Foundation and helped a team of veterans and cyclists achieve their goals at the iconic Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race. I'm a professional cyclists and have won the race 4 times. I dontated my expertise to help the team and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I come from a military background and am a cyclists, so PPF is close to my heart. They are providing real equipment, goals and a way to achieve dreams that some of these veterans never believed would be possible. They were professional, organized and most of all, really caring and dedicated people. The work they are doing is important and I would recommend being invovled with them for veterans or volunteers who believe in their mission.

They suck money out of tax p ayers and government as much as they can in the form of educational group charter schools . THESE CHARTERED Schools sHOULD Be Shut Down Because It's A Mean For Greed And Evil
