I sent almost 18 inches of very thick hair about 2 months ago and never got a thank you or any notification that they received my hair. This really upsets me because it was a very personal donation and I think my hair may have been sold. I tried to give Wigs for kids no stars but it wouldn't let me.

I joined this nonprofit when Covid arrived, and the dedication of the staff and the volunteers to ensure the recipients would continue to receive meals was terrific. Every effort was made to protect everyone from Covid. The focus was to prepare the meals and deliver them to clients, never did they close during this entire pandemic.

I love this organization. They provide sports and recreational opportunities for children with disabilities. They pair a physically challenged youth with an able-bodied youth for this experience and the kids all become friends. They also have programs for young adults. It truly is a win-win situation. Feel free to stop by any program and see for yourself. You will be amazed too.

I have been very impressed by every experience I have had with Clague Playhouse. The productions are high quality and entertaining. The Jewelry Heist fundraiser was fabulous. And all the volunteers and patrons I have met have been the nicest, friendliest people. It's wonderful to see a little organization filled with such positive, passionate people bringing fun and good things into the world. I urge you to support with your patronage and donations not just the big, famous causes, but to also take a look at the tiny little groups working together in the little neighborhoods to make a difference.
