Circle Of Light Associates

I attended the event sponsored by Circle of Light on October 10th and I must say it was awesome. It was a Free giveaway of household items and free food. Wow! The community came out in record numbers. I saw a lot of young people working together which did my heart good. I'm proud to have attended the event and even more proud to report that there were no negative incidents. Again...Awesome.

Two of my sons have participated in their Lego League initiative and both have learned so much. It is a great program that benefits this community.

The appreciation and love COLA shows the community is unimaginable and appreciated by the community.

Circle of Light Food Pantry has been a place of Godsend for people that I know. I came across so many people who actually needed help and had no place to go for extra food and essentials for their families. I personally took them myself and they were able to get so much fresh food, canned vegetables and also personal hygiene items. This non profit organization does so much for people and the community and they should be recognized for it. I love the organization and always send people there when they need things. They actually care

My children attend the Circle of Light Greater Achievers Daycare. The director is attentive to the needs of the parents as well as the children. She works hard to ensure that the kids are in a fun, but safe environment. I appreciate that I can leave my children in a place without having any worries. The teachers are great and they make sure that the kids are constantly learning. I am truly pleased with this business and will not take my children anywhere else!

Wonderful people doing a great job helping individuals and families in the community! Giving back as much as possible to people in need.

Best organization I’ve ever been a part of! The way they take time and present opportunities to the youth and the caring and loving affection that’s shown to the elders is like no other! Circle of Light has been such a help to me by putting a smile on my face and feeling the love!

They are the best at helping with food and different supplies i needed.

Circle of Light Associates I will never forget the contributions you make to others in need! How you are always willing to help and the love you feel when receiving the help. Thank you for all that you do and how you do it!! I am forever grateful.

I am so grateful to be able to volunteer with such a caring organization who gets out there with the people and demonstrates their generosity!

I am so grateful for this organization because it saved my life!! I would tell anyone who is in need, this is the organization that can help.

I have been helped many times by this organization. I love them because they treat you like family. They take away all shame that you are in the situation you are in by letting you still keep dignity and respect of being a human being.

This organization has been a help to me and my family. Thankful for such an Amazing organization.

Awesome programs! This charity offers a ton of community options that are very helpful.

Great non- profit, many programs offered from food pantry, teen awareness, to community gardening. Worth supporting through service or donation.

This organization has helped my family and other people from the community from food and clothing, shelter, child care service and assistance, transportation and have helped with bill payment. There is none like it! I’m grateful for it and the volunteers that support!

The people here helped me with food from their pantry and are always nice and ready to help someone in need. Whenever I come across someone needing any help I send them to Circle of Light

This organization has always been helpful to me and my family in out times if need . Just a Amazing organization

This charity has helped me and family tremendously. I don’t know where I would if it wasn’t for COLA.

When I volunteer with this organization. I seen complete compassion towards everyone. Everybody was always friendly and very helpful. This organization has 1 goal and that's to help anybody in need. I've seen first hand on how amazing this organization is. They have help so many different people from different walks of life. I'm happy I was able to be apart of something great.

Always doing great things in the community! If you are a volunteer looking for new opportunities, I highly recommend this organization!

Circle of Light Associates Non-Profit Organization continues to provide many programs to the under-served in the community. I work with the COLA STEM Initiative which is a program that utilizes FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and LEGOs to teach children ages 4 - 14 science, technology, engineering, and math skills, as well as social skills. This program reaches children and makes a permanent difference in their lives. The volunteers are wonderful to work with and truly have a heart to help someone in need. I appreciate all COLA has accomplished with volunteers and the work they have done in the community.

I'm very thankful for the services provided not only in the Baden area, but surrounding communities. If the need is there and resources are available many leave thankful. The food panty is helping many families as resources in the household becomes scarce. The people associated with this organinzation are professional and willing to go out of their way to make things happen. Although obtaining resources can be challenging, the volunteers never stops helping those in need. I also know that many have been helped with the educational opportunites provided throughout the years. We need more people to reach out in our communities and provide support for those that are willing to help... It's greatly needed in these times. Vernita

The best place to go if looking to be apart of something genuinely designed to help the public.

Having a food pantry in the neighborhood really helps the whole community were we are able to get help in our own neighborhood instead of going to others for help it's like a 1 stop shop were you are able to get clothes and food all in 1 place place

Outstanding organization with the well-being of the community as it's main focus. We need more organizations like this!

Circle of light daycare is the PERFECT place for your child/children...the director is awesome and very caring and loving....I have 5 children ages 11 months -9 years of age, they all attended/still attend circle of light daycare at a very young age the teachers treat the kids like their they own kids! They teah them everything they need to know before entering kindergarten I have 3 kids in school and they all are at the top of they classes and I give thanks to circle of light daycare I don’t know what I would do without you guys....Thank You

I have never felt so complete, so thankful
for the love and spiritual advice that I have received from the Preacher and all of the members I have a better understanding of God’s purpose for my life

Great organization that is always willing to lend a helping hand.

This food pantry offers more than just food! They have household supplies, personal hygiene products, clothes, a loving caring environment, and a friendly staff. They also give great hugs and lots of love! Walking into the doors of this church you can feel peace in the air! I appreciate them for all they have done for my family in our time of need. I would highly recommend not only this pantry, as well as their church to anyone in need of any assistance.

This place as truly been a blessing to me and my family. Every time I've need them , The Pastor Jeff Johnson Jr. I shown nothing but the and help to me. I can't thank him enough.

COLA has helped so many in need! When there is a place that you can come to for help it leaves a great impact. Food pantry, gentle clothing and all around encouragement is what the world needs everyday and it’s something that COLA provides! Will always appreciate a organization as such

C.OL.A is an excellent non-profit organization. Through its many programs (Transitional Housing Project, Grass Roots Food Pantry, Greater Achievers Learning Center, etc) it has reached out and helped thousands of families who otherwise would have been left destitute. I myself have been in need of different things and each time i reached out to C.O.L.A they rendered a helping hand. It also has given young people an opportunity to make an honest living and gain experience in several different fields. Without the support of C.O.L.A some of these same young people may have resorted to more shameful, and even illegitimate means of making ends meet. C.O.L.A will forever be a staple in the St Louis MO community, and with continued support it will reach out to other communities nationwide.

I Love this organization has helped me out in so many ways at my lowest point in life it gave me life

This pantry is a blessing to the surrounding community and I am very thankful for it!

This organization is a life saver! They have many different programs that can help in all aspects of life.

Awesome experience everytime
Great business men. Well taught respectfull. Clean cut

Awesome experience!! The attentiveness shown was more than I could ever ask for. The many services provided are truly a God send! I will definitely recommend to others in need.

Absolutely the BEST None profit organization!!!! COLA is all about helping and giving back to the community while spreading Love!

Its great to still have non profit organizations like this in the community. The food pantry is one of many services provided and it offers so much to those in need. Keep up the great work COLA

COLA is an awesome organization. I really like what they stand for and how they help in the community

Circle of Light is awesome! They helped me feed my babies. The food in the pantry is always fresh and good. Thank you so much Circle of Light!

I really enjoy the professionalism and caring nature of the people with this organization. I have found myself down on my luck a few times and the people here never think twice about helping me. They make you feel like you are family.

The Grassroots food pantry is always very professional and helpful. Every experience is a warm and welcoming.

I get the chance to volunteer with a great group of people every time I come. I receive much more than just being able to help those in need. I am able to meet different people and share life experiences to keep moving forward in my day to day life.

COLA is an excellent source of help and assistance for the community. I have had assistance with food in an emergency basis. I have also used the daycare. I recommend COLA as a five-star organization willing to assist the community.

Just recently I was down on my luck, and found myself in a bad situation where my money was very low and I needed some help with food. I didn’t want to ask my mother or anyone because I didn’t want to be judged. I seen a post that someone shared on social media about the food pantry at Circle of Light being opened and they had a lot of the more expensive items. I was able to get milk, bread, vegetables and snacks. I didn’t feel any shame because everyone was there picking up items and they never single you out. I’m glad Circle of Light was there for me and they are a blessing to that community

The definition of charity is defined as love and whatever is bestowed gratuitously on the needy or suffering for their relief. I have had the opportunity to deal with Circle Of Light Associates for years and they have superseded this definition. Thank God for them

This is a great non profit. I love working with them and all of their endeavors

COLA has excellent programs that are a true help in times need.

They Are A Great Organization To Go Through, Anything You Need, COlA Has It , The People There Are Nice n Respectful And Know How To Handle Buisness When Its Time !!!!!

This is a great Non Profit Organization that can and will help where help is needed

This nonprofit exemplifies the meaning of community outreach. From the members to the staff as well as all of the wonderful programs offered. They are beneficial to St Louis and all its surrounding areas. If you are in need of any assistance let Circle of Light Associates be your first and only resource. You will not be disappointed!!

COLA is far from your average non-profit organization. The spiritual standpoint is unbelievable, it has lifted countless heads, and changed many lives. The "Teen Awareness" program is one of COLA organizations that broadens teens horizons, by introducing the teens to people, places, and activities outside their comfort zone. COLA's childcare doors are always open and the director is heavily involved with making sure everythings going according to all guidelines. The pantry is always open taking care of the needy, also providing them with clean clothes. The list go on, not to mention proper etiquette classes for all employees are a must. COLA go beyond to make sure that ones affiliated with this organization is allowing their light to show. I've been welcomed with open arms, and offered help with things I may need assistance with. I am forever great fully.

I think this is a good organization and I love being a part of this cause

Cola has been a great help in the community.....striving to save young people. Working to help families stay together and rebuild their lives.

I had the pleasure of donating my time to take photographs of the different auxiliaries within this organization. They were attempting to get information updated and things like that. I was pleasantly surprised. This organization did so much for so many different people, from children to the elderly. I started off donating my time now I spend time sending people there to get some genuine help. I absolutely love this organization and what it stands for. I will work with them in the future.

Circle of Light Associates Non Profit is a helpful community organization with an emphasis on the underserved, although anyone can benefit from their programs. The volunteers really care about the people they are helping.

This is a wonderful organization. Many family's has benefited from the grass roots pantry and the clothing that's available to everyone. Anything they have they are definitely willing to share..

I Volunteered with COLA one day when i was on vacation from work. I was amazed to see how involved they are in so many different communities. I watched them donate a house full of furniture to a family having to start all over. Most of all i was impressed by how many young people come together to make their missison possible.

This non profit organization has helped me in many ways. I am blessed to have them in my life. They are always positive and they see to people getting the help they need.

Cola, is a very detailed oriented organization. They give so many countless hours of their time back into the community. They are very knowledgeable when it comes down to the needs of less fortunate in the community, donating books, toiletries, and much more. Above all their members greet everyone with a smile, and genuine heartfelt concern.

Great! COLA is full of caring, loving people. One of the best nonprofits there is.

Circle of light associates is a great organization. My son has been a member of their FFL LEGO LEAGUE for the last 3 years. I absolutely love the coaches.

Amazing Organization. Helping so many through out the year with selfless contributions in the St. Louis community. Its good to know non profit like this still exist in 2016

Circle of Light Associates has been of great assistance to my family and me. Members of the COLA organization mentored my son in their tutoring program and several members played a part in helping him to graduate through college. When my spouse was going through drug addiction, he too received mentors that helped him through his sobriety. I can't show enough gratitude for the assistance that this organization has provided.

This non profit has help me for the past several years. No matter what issue I have had, they have always had a resource or solution. They have been in my corner and been a great ligh in my life

Great organization......committed to building a better community

COLA is one of the greatest community organizations serving the St. Louis area today. At a time like this, when people are truly suffering ànd in need of help as well as hope for a better and brighter future. Circle of Light Associates shines like a beacon of light in a dark world. Drawing those people who are lost and looking for help. The reason that I know this is because I was one of those people stumbling around in the dark desperately seeking help.My life was changed forever because of COLA and I am forever grateful. God Bless

Circle of Light Associates (COLA) is a great non-profit organization. This organization is an up and coming staple In the community; assisting citizens with groups like the grass roots food pantry, the greater achievers learning center(daycare), drug support and recovery program, the teen awareness group, along with many other beneficial sectors. COLA is based out of the st.louis city area, but it's arm has reached out and helped hundreds of individuals and families in st.louis city, st.louis county, and all over the state of Missouri. COLA is now and will always be a helpful and beneficial non profit organization.

C.O.L.A. is a great nonprofit organization! I've dealt with different people and different departments. The thing I love the most about this organization is they ALL genuinely are doing things in the name of HELP! You can tell that it's a high level of sincerity with this group!

Glad to have them in the local community, they are a positive influence to the neighborhood.

It's been a pleasurable experience to encounter such wonderful down to earth people with this charitable org. , that really have their hearts into helping the less fortunate. Their politeness is consistent across the board. They're hard working , striving and growing and have various outreach entities and programs....but wow! they have so many young people involved and that's the future!

I love COLA they strive in so many ways to provide services to the community. Lego league for kids, food pantry, as well as a food program that assisted many children over the summer.

Circle Of Light Associates provides help to our community in multiple ways. From the food pantry to providing items to those in need they have always been there for the elderly and helped as much as possible. I am truly appreciative for this organization. I was fresh from surgery and they supplied me with a reclining chair that helped me rest since I could not sleep in my bed. THANK YOU

Circle of light is a truly exceptional organization. They are always helping the community whether it is with the grass roots food pantry, or tutoring for the children!

COLA has been very helpful to many needed families, they're purpose has been to not only help people to get out of they're dismal state of hopelessness, but to also empower them to become independent and self sufficient and also become a recruiter for others that are still in that same state, I am so proud to be affiliated with a legitimate organization who's not in it for the fame, but the restructuring of lives and spiritual new beginnings.

This organization truly cares about the clients they are serving. They go above and beyond to try and help those that are in the community.

This is a great organization that has a strong focus on helping the youth in the community.

This is an awesome charity!!! They have helped a lot of people...

C.O.L.A. is a great non for profit organization within our church as well as the community. The organization was formed with the focus of helping those in need as well as being able to provide job skills. Everyone here has the desire to make a difference in the lives of those who stand in the need. Great people, great purpose!

The COLA non profit ia an organization dedicated the empowerment and improvement of the saint louis community and far beyond. Being a volunteer I have seen people served from all areas of the US. They will help anyone anywhere by any means. Never have I seen such a compassion for brotherhood and sisterhood. This foundation is created and administered with the simplest and most need thing, LOVE.

Circle Of Light Associates has been very influential within the St. Louis community. I know of many young men that have been able to build their skills and go on to be responsible dedicated members of society. This organization is doing great thing with tons of young people.

The Church is Awesome, and the preacher is truly a God sent/ born again Man, But Lord knows there should be better supervision over the Daycare, that's the most unprofessional business I've ever seen ran in my life, need I say the most GETTO place ever. 98% of the teachers have no education, not even the Director, all are on some form of drugs, and some even have criminal records. So I say this church may need to do some down right good ol praying for the business employees they have.

Sigh a truly born again Christan

GREAT group of people to work with very friendly and kind hearted. I love working and helping this organization they help the community they have a food pantry that is open for the needed. Awesome

C.O.L.A is a non-profit organization that's located in the Baden Community. This is not just for our church its for everybody in need of assistances. This program has a food pantry, child care, GED, tutoring, restaurant etc. words can't explain how thankful I am for my church and the programs that we have to help those in need.

I could not be more appreciative of the C.O.L.A. organization, with great respect for the Greater Achievers Learning Center! I have had 5 children that have attended the GALC and I am very proud of the service and education we have all received through this entity of C.O.L.A. Child care is very expensive especially for someone who has multiple children. The GALC provided me with affordable child care without sacrificing quality. My children were well prepared for elementary school when they entered on every level. The educators there are very attentive to and loving toward the children which is a necessity!!!! I have a new born that will soon enter the center and I am happy to not have the fear of sending my child off to a "babysitter" to watch and HOPE they take good care of my child. Instead I have the luxury of knowing that my child will be well taken care of, given as much love as I myself as a mother would give and will be given the necessary tools to prepare for the school age years and more. Thank you C.O.L.A. for your presence in our community.

I have had nothing but great experiences working with Circle Of Light Associates. The people are wonderful and has your best interest at heart. I have learned soo much working with C.O.L.A and the different organizations within it.. GREAT ORGANIZATION!!

Circle Of Light Associates is a great and growing organization in the Baden community. Even though C.O.L.A. is located in the Baden community, any and all that are in need are serviced. I am grateful for the position C.O.L.A. is in to be able to be of service to all.

I could not begin to think of or recondite any other organization that is worthwhile to support!

Being a volunteer at Circle of Light association is a wonderful experience. The services they provide to the community exceeds far beyond any preconceived expectations. Being able to work with our youth and give alternative outlets other than the streets is very rewarding. Being a volunteer for this wonderful organization is like being a part of an extended family.

Circle of Light is an amazing organization! The food pantry has very nice and welcoming people there.

I was able to receive food from the Grass Roots Food Pantry through Circle of Light during a time when I needed it the most. THANK YOU

C.O.L.A is an awesome organization with an array of services available to the community. I would highly recommend this group to anyone looking for assistance.

C.O.L.A. is an organization that is truly dedicated to helping the community. This is evident through the programs and services available such as the food pantry, teen awareness, support and recovery, and quality affordable child care to name a few. I currently volunteer on the finance committe and can attest that C.O.L.A.'s efforts are sincere and they genuinely care about the well-being of others.

C.O.L.A. is an AMAZING organization. This organization provides assistance to our community in any aspect of your life...this includes a daycare for the children, a food pantry for the hungry, GED classes to enhance your education, Mentoring and Teen Awareness to help guide our youth, Drug Support and Recovery programs to help those who struggle with drug/alcohol addition, and more importantly a place to go when you are seeking something spiritually(Circle of Light Church). C.O.L.A is an organization very worthy to be recognized and is an asset to the community.

C.O.L.A IS THE BEST NON-PROFITABLE ORGANIZATION OUT THERE!! The experience I had with these guys were phenomenal.

This non-profit organization is among the best!! It is specifically designed to help the community. Through the Circle Of Light Assocates organization there are numerous programs such as the food pantry that anybody in need can benefit from. I'm so grateful & thankful for this organization. I have personally been apart of the Teen Awareness group which helps mentor young women & girls, giving them something positive to do with their time on the weekends & teaching them valuable life lessons.

Working with the Circle of Light Associates non profit organization has been an awesome experience for my business. I became acquainted with this organization through an advertisement a few months back. A company promised me they would pick up some damaged goods but never showed.. Circle of Light Associates contacted me and stuck to their word. They told me they would pick up the items in two days and they did so. They picked up the items with professionalism and neatness. I've donated to them several times now and they are a pleasure to work with.

This is very good organization!!!!!! word cant express there kindness. How they pour there hearts out too the poor and youth. I am very blesses to have been apart too witness great things!!!!!

This organization is very inspiring and gives me the opportunity to share my background and knowledge with other individuals seeking the same goals, helping those in need.

I am a volunteer for this organization. I go where ever I'm needed and look forward to assisting in any entity because I work with some courteous, friendly, and fun people. What I like about them most is the passion they have for helping people that are less fortunate. And since I share that same passion, it’s self-gratifying to know that I work with a group of humble, passionate, young people, like myself, doing something positive and making an impactful difference in the community and abroad.

Circle of Light Associates has helped many people in the community. I enjoy seeing the smiles on faces when they see that someone cares.

Working with Circle of Light Associates i am extremely appreciative of our efforts to assist the community. We have multiple programs available to people in need and people wanting to ehance themselves mind, body, and soul. Investing in Circle of Light is investing in your future. We love working with other orgaizations to assist and we look forward to meeting organizations with the same objective as C.O.L.A. Under the leadership of our pastor we are not only able to help others but help ouselves in teh process. If you need help and want a real answer come to Circle of Light!!!!!!!!!

Recently in STL there was a big event called "The Taste Of STL", not enough words will express how great this organization did and the great feedback people were given.
