I volunteered at this nonprofit last year December. The experience was mind-blowing. There was no discrimination. Everyone was treated with respect. The event was very organised. I was impressed to find out that every staff was a volunteer thus, reducing overhead cost. Finally when we ran out of food, the founder gave out cash gifts to those that did not receive food items. It was a touching experience. The love was real!
