I don’t think you will encounter a humanitarian organization with such a large and dedicated volunteer base that serves humanity so consistently across the globe. The team responds to disasters to provide immediate relief and further support to rebuild, while also successfully operating 6 major Human Development programs combatting hunger, providing healthcare & education to the neediest populations, ensuring access to safe and clean drinkable water, and conducting surgeries to save sight in America and across the globe. The passion of people to help and serve keeps this organization going and growing. The connection to people who we are able to support and the difference we can make to remove pain and suffering is what drives us. We can do a lot more with lot less overhead cost through our powerful bank of volunteers across 50 states in America and across the globe. Humanity First USA joins forces with Humanity First entities in 60 countries to be even stronger. I have been part of the Board and served hands-on as a volunteer leading the executive team, staff and volunteers since the inception of HFUSA in 2004. I am very proud and thankful to the team and our donors, staff and volunteers for their untiring support and commitment to our noble cause. By the Grace of God we are making a difference every day. Thank You
Humanity first is an amazing organization dedicated to the “human cause”. I have volunteered with the organization on many occasions and causes, all were to help people in need. Humanity First has always been in the forefront whenever disaster strikes. I have personally donated to this organization on many occasions because I know my donations will be used for a good cause.
Hello I have worked with this non for profit Humanity First (HF) program for over 10 years. At first is was a local partnership. HF sponsored the purchased of food so that my local organization could hold a food distribution site in Zion Illinois USA. This community was designated as a food dessert area by the local health department. The people in this community were very grateful to receive the food. The events were so well received that I facilitated a Memorandum of Agreement with HF and the Northern Illinous Food Bank. This has lead to a larger food distribution site and another partnership with the local high school years later. I am now serving on the HF national board and support HF with volunteers, offer suggestions, and review their initiatives to serve people in need in the USA and abroad. HF is a great organization for the community, volunteers and students. It provides an opportunity to serve and be a part of a community that cares. Thank you
I have been volunteering with Humanity First ever since I was a small kid doing fundraisers to collecting food for canned food drives for the North Texas Food Bank. It has been such a rewarding experience to give my time to Humanity First knowing that I am making an impact on the lives of people who need it the most. They’re a wonderful organization with endless opportunities to help those in need.
I have volunteered for Humanity First for several years. It’s a great organization whom works to help those in need.
I have been donating through Humanity First for several years and it is a my favorite organization to donate towards. Not only do they provide immediate disaster relief but also have many programs that serve humanity across the world. The organization builds and runs schools and hospitals plus provided resources for food and water. I feel that my donation is being used for good to help anyone in need.
I have been continuously volunteering for Humanity First for over 5 years now and I have to say it is a fantastic charitable organization with great goals and hard working and passionate volunteers. The goals of the organization are attainable and truly life changing. Additionally a great thing about Humanity First is the give detailed and thorough breakdowns of how your donations are actually being used and provide clear evidence of the lives you are impacting. 10/10 would definitely recommend donating to Humanity First or if possible give some of your time to this fantastic organization.

Whenever I think of donating, I think of humanity first. I know I can blindly trust this organization because of the track record. My family and I have been donating and over the time have been volunteering as a representative. Whenever there is a disaster, humanity first is there to respond right from the beginning till the end.
I have gotten to know Humanity First over the last 12-18 months and have been very impressed. They have thoughtful, highly beneficial programs and I have been particularly impressed with the work they have done to promote education globally. This includes not just smart, innovative programming but also metrics and follow ups that I believe will have a profound impact on the students they are working for. I highly recommend this organization!
I know of people who work in Humanity First and it is a truly amazing nonprofit organization. They have worked to help people that have lost their homes by natural disasters or a type of human conflict. Throughout the years they have made so much progress and promote peace where they are. They relieve the suffering these homeless people have endured and helped strengthen people's abilities to help themselves. If they aren't at the place they are working at, they hold fundraisers and have blood drives so they can help even if they aren't there.
I have worked with Humanity First twice in disaster relief and several times with fundraisers. This organization does not have any paid employees and is entirely run by volunteers. Though the organization is smaller than many others, their impact is exponential. Following Hurricane Sandy, Humanity First relief efforts in the City of Long Beach, NY were inspiring. While organizations like Red Cross set up relief tents and established a central location to collect items, Humanity First went door-to-door to help residents clean their damaged homes and took much needed items to the residents rather than forcing them to go to the collection center. Following the deadly tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, I joined the efforts to help residents salvage their belongings from their homes. While many organizations stayed in air conditioned cars driving around offering water bottles, Humanity First was on the ground directly helping people collect their belongings from the piles of rubble that were once their homes. I cannot say enough good things about Humanity First, they are truly a unique organization.
I have been involved with HF since the Earthquake in Pakistan. I have been to the fundraiser diner "Dine for Humanity" in Rancho Cucamonga, CA and saw their efforts in Haiti Earthquake. The good thing i like about this organization is that it works at grassroots level in almost every continent and have various programs in which every volunteer can fit him/herself. They have disaster relief efforts, educational programs, poverty relief programs, safe drinking water programs and many more. I feel honored to be a part of this great organization!
Review from Guidestar
Recently I was invited to attend a Fundraising dinner, called "Dine for Humanity" in Rancho Cucamonga CA. The Humanity First Volunteer, approched me handed me a flyer about the dinner. I had never heard of HF before, and therefore, a little hesitant to donate any money. I decided to google HF, and to my surprise, HF has been involved greatly in humanitarian work. I will attend dinner, and shall see what is different about HF and other NGO.
I've volunteered with several non-profits in the Chicago area in a variety of fundraising support roles. Humanity First amazed me in its capability to organize, advertise and run large scale fundraising events with a very small amount of overhead. Nearly all of the donated funds (something like 92 or 93%) go to either established long-term programs or short-term relief operations. Additionally, the Director of Fundraising has an ability to both identify and execute on great ad hoc communications ideas to increase donations and participation in the major fundraising events such as the national walkathons.
