Every since I have learned of this great Organization, I have supported and volunteered with this blessed and highly Favored Organization. I am honored to know the Executive Director, personally and she is a great women and friend. She has a heart of gold,and her Administrative staff and volunteers,are phenomenal their blessed and they care about the less fortunate. I am always excited to see what God is doing with their ministry,and when I am able I try to volunteer as often as possible. It's a joy to serve with The Green Team, and my continued blessings.
I love what they do in the Greensboro area showout to one of my classmates the CEO Ashley Benton great job keep up the good works
The Green Team is such a great organization! They always help and feed the community. They offer different resources to those in need. Every time I volunteer with them I see how they connect with the people they serve. They laugh with, talk to, and listen to the people they serve. Such a wonderful organization! The Green Team Helping Hands is awesome!
Willing help in more ways then they appear. The leaders actually care and get to know who they are serving. Great things happening and hope they are able to continue serving the community.
Green team helped myself and my children when we needed it most. I cannot be more blessed to know a sweeter nicer person than she. I cannot wait til I'm on my feet and able to help her the way she did us
Such an amazing organization! They do so much good for the community! You should donate time and resources because the feed so many hungry people ... God Bless them!
This wonderful non profit helped my father that was homeless. I've seen this non profit stepped up for many others in our community. I think its time that the Green Team gets recognized for their outstanding support for our community. I am very thankful that the Green Team was there for my father.
I watched the Green Team provide food and essential items to many homeless men, women and children last Sunday in downtown Greensboro. Ashley Benton hand delivered pizza out into the park to those in need.
Many speak what they want others to hear, but FEW truly reach OUT with their heart giving their time to bless and help others - This IS what the Green Team does and why they need to be supported and made known to All to continue assisting those in need and for those who have the ability to consistently support them~ As a minister and a flight attendant who's been home bound 5 years I pray over them and do what little I can for now which is to share to others - please do what you know you can for the Green Team and if you live near perhaps you would pray about giving YOUR helping hand to theirs, May the Lord bless everyone, Yana S.
I was homeless 2 times and both times they have helped me with food blankets sanatizer etc they are amazing group of angels who really love and care abt u
The Green Team Helping Hands LLC never lets me down. They have given back to so many people in the community that has been hit hard due to Covid 19. No one is ever turned down. Ashley Benton gives so much of herself to feeding and giving back to others that it doesn’t matter if she isn’t feeling well. Talking about being unselfish this nonprofit breaks the mold! May GOD bless and keep everyone associated with this awesome organization!

My family has been helping The Green Team Helping Hands Inc. For well over 4 years now. I have taught my kids to give back to others in the community and to never take anything for granted. Ashley has been a great role model to others that need the services that the organization offers. I could not have chosen a better non profit to help serve the Greensboro community with.
Ashley’s passion for those in need is unparalleled. She brings hope and joy to a community in need of a helping hand. Her ability to connect with the community is incredibly heart warming. The kindness she has offered and the sense of dignity she bestows makes me proud she has found her calling in life and she does a phenomenal job providing meals to those who need them most. Keep up the good work friend.
I am continually impressed by this organization. They do so much more than just feed the homeless (of course they feed so many 100s of people!!!). They provide many other things to help the homeless: hotel rooms, clothing, toiletries, even Easter baskets and events. It is all done with love and an abundance of friendliness. No one ever feels like they are being pitied, no condescension, no guilt trip, just total openness and joyful interaction.
Other groups working with the homeless could learn a lot from the Green Team! There is something truly unique in how they interact with the people they help.
I came upon Ashley Benton founder of the Green Team by chance several years ago.
I watched how she put together friends, family, strangers... well there is no stranger to Ashley; Just new friends. She had a hands on Charity where they help those in need for basics such as a sack lunch, hot meal, clothing and other items as needed.
This is all done out of their hearts.
They aren’t paid and every dollar I donate I know is actually going Hand’s on to help someone in need.
The Green team has helped many through bad weather , extreme weather and other emergencies too.
I have seen her pay out of her own pocket to get a family a hotel room for a couple nights to help get them off the streets a cleaned up. Sometimes a tent or blankets.
I live in a different state but when I see good being done anywhere I like to be a part of that.
The Green Team is more then good. They are needed and appreciated by so many that depend on them. Some get their only hot meal of the week from the Green Team. Those meals are made with love. Sometimes it’s that love the homeless need most.
The Green Team has been doing great things for the community. If you can put a smile on someone's face who is in need, then you're doing something right. And that's what the Green Team is doing. Keep up the awesome work, you all are not underlooked and greatly appreciated. God Bless!!
The Green Team is a much needed nonprofit here in Greensboro and surrounding counties. Homelessness, displaced women and children etc... it doesn’t matter... The Green Team steps up to HELP. I’ve watched the lines for food grow and grow every year since the beginning. Donations and Volunteers are the backbone of this wonderful nonprofit. Please find it in your heart to help The Green Team help the ones that need them the most.
Hello I'm kathryn I was homeless once and this group helped me a lot food, clothes, compassion, love,hugs, someone who understand how it is to be homeless not just a company like most but they have heart we all appreciate them a lot
I met the Green Team for the first time after my Father died. My Father was homeless for a long time. The Green Team Helping Hands Inc was there and helped my Father in the last years that my Father was here. The Green Team went above and beyond and shared love to my Father. My Father was given a hotel to stay in for a couple weeks around Christmas time 2017. That Christmas in the year 2017 was less than two months that my Father passed away February 2018. Green Team Helping Hands Inc was there for years and loved my Father very much. I am very thankful that they were there for my Dad when I couldn't. My Father never forgave himself. I did forgive him.
Awesome group! I’ve had the pleasure of serving with them several times and plan to do so again in the future.
Ashely puts a lot of herself into this - preparing the food, toiletry bags, taking donations for clothing and blankets. It’s amazing at how many lives The Green Team touches.
I came across this non-profit in 2013 on Facebook when I was on the search for logo design opportunities for a college assignment in Texas. I reached out to this incredible organization and got in touch with their founder, Ashley Benton, who provides meals, clothing, hygiene essentials to those in need within the Greensboro, NC area. I soon offered my social media services and provided the foundation for an updated website as I was a broke college young adult but wanted to find a way to be of assistance. We all have something to offer, especially our time. It will be worth it for the Green Team Helping Hands Inc. at any capacity.
The Green Team Helping Hands INC. Has inspired people from all across the country to get involved.
I met Ashley Benton in an online group, I started following her on Facebook and was amazed at the endless effects she goes to for her mission, an compassion to end hunger for Greensboros homeless population that she calls her friends in need.
Bravo, to The Green Team for the love and commitment they have shown to the homeless while also inspiring people like me to be better people.
I know this award is well deserved, however, I do want to congratulate the winner whom ever it might be, I'm in great Hope's that you select The Green Team helping hands.
With great love and admiration.

I have experienced homelessness so I know the importance of having somewhere to get a meal or toiletries. When you are feeling alone and helpless, feeling like no one cares, it means a lot to get a hug or a smile. The Green Team does all of that! I wish I had known about them doing my time out there, however I know people that they help every week. The most important thing that I hear is that they do it with a smile. Some people just need a hand up when they are down. They don't want a hand out, and they really don't want it from someone who looks down on them. The Green Team makes you feel like their is hope. I am so thankful for them and so is this community! I look forward to being a part of this team as a volunteer and whatever else I can do to help!
GT Helping Hands cares about our friends in need. Not only is this a feeding program, but it is a display of love. Ashley sees each individual person and treats them with dignity and respect.
The ongoing commitment to service that the Green Team Helping Hands has had for the homeless population in and around Greensboro is nothing short of spectacular! I have had the honor and privilege of being able to serve alongside Ashley and her family. Being able to play a small role in helping disadvantaged people is one of the highest callings one can have and I am so incredibly proud of the impact that the Green Team Helping Hands is having both on a local and national scale! Keep up the amazing work!
A common thread that weaves through the heart & soul of a 'Light Carrier' is being connected to spirit by way of intention.
A shift from homelessness to hopefulness and poverty to a wealth philosophy is one heck of an intention, and the angel behind 'GT Helping Hands' (Ashley Benton) on top of all that, also reminds us that when we help others, one hand feeds another's (spiritually, mentally & physically)?
With Ashley & 'The Green Team' you can be confident that you will be seen, that you will be heard and that YOU matter. Is there anything in life that we truly need more than that? Namaste' Ash-Angel
Ashley gives of herself tirelessly and with such enthusiasm. She treats the homeless and the volunteers and donors with dignity, respect and love. And she is who she is in the process. This is a story of a woman who wanted to carry on her Father's dream, and has now made it her own. The world is a better place because of Ashley's big heart.
I know that when I support Ashley and The Green Team, that the money goes to those who need it most. She is on the ground and amongst the people. Hearing their stories, making sure they are taken care of and don't go hungry! she is truly and earth angel.

I have been moved, inspired and motivated by my sister friend Ashley. You know that saying, that say people come in your life for a good reason and inspire you even more. That is what Ashley does to each and everyone that comes across her. For someone that lives far away in Australia and watch the inspiring work that Ashley and her team her doing in her community. The word inspiring doesn't even share half of the good work they do helping those in need. My prayer is people will see what Ashley and her beautiful Team inspirational work . And send any donation to help them help & feed my souls. I always no donation is too small. And if the only donation you can give is by you sparing some time to join and help, please don't hesitate do what you can. As we say no parent can parent alone it takes the all village. I suppose same goes for something this beautiful. Ashley's story and subsequent development of the Foundation, is so inspirational. I feel so blessed to have a connection with an own ambassador sister that is not just an inspiration to her kids but the world at large Love you ash , love your work. Keep Up the Good work Hun . God Bless"
