I just want to say that this company is not what it's cracked up to be. If you are coming in from another country then you might do quite well with these people. But if you are an American Citizen and you need help, they will push you to the curb. I know this first hand because I have seen it done to a family that I know very well. They have children and they were put out on the streets. This is not a place to rely on!!! They don't care about the families they are working with. They RUIN lives!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a Della Lamb volunteer at thanksgiving and Christmas of 2008. I learned so much about generosity, and working side by side by people from Somalia, Sudan, Taiwan.... I learned that people from these cultures can come together for the common good of the community and work together, in spite of religious beliefs or backgrounds. I saw them extend so much generosity to the community in Kansas City, and pour out so much kindness, that each year around the holidays, I replay the experience in my mind, and find myself missing them so much. Just .08$ of every dollar goes to administrative costs. The rest goes to the community. If you want to donate to a worthy cause, to a group that goes above and beyond what we think community centers do, then please donate to Della Lamb. They help people receive their citizenship, they help men and women get their GED's, they feed countless families in the community, they have an amazing Charter school, along with incredible day care facilities. The staff is amazing and they are good people. It was a blessing to get to be part of such a wonderful place. Please consider giving.....
