I was told about the Kabod House from a co-worker of mine. I attended their community babyshower and was blessed with resources from information on cloth diapers and samples to places to seek help for postpartum depression. I received diapers and wipes to my doorstep a few weeks after attendance to their event for my newborn and nearly 2 year old.

They are so helpful! They have been so nice and speedy with the service! My kids enjoyed the diapers and I enjoyed the female hygiene products. They helped me when I was low on funds or in between checks. I recommend this organization to all my friends and families with little babies

My name is Melissa and I reside in Chicago I am the mother of five boys and I have under two this program has been a tremendous help doing this tremendous time of need me and my family have benefited so much as a single mother every donation matters not to include going above and beyond to try to assist with anything possible with my other children I am so appreciative for this program and for the hearts that run it. Without this program I would have been without baby formula diapers Basic Essentials that mothers need help with I have been given a great support through this program and I am truly grateful me and my family. I would also like to add how they took the time to listen and to try to help and understand each client needs I was given assistance with baby carrying clothes and so much other things that a mother might need and I do not have a support system here but this has been more than a support system and a blessing

I was referred to this amazing organization and it was the best thing ever. I just had my third child and lost my job during covid once I delivered my baby he had so many health issues so it was so hard to get back to work. This organization sent me pampers and wipes in a split second for my son. This is a blessing I am so very happy to have them in our lives.

Kabod House International has been a great asset in Giving female and male personal hygiene bags for community events and homeless outreach efforts. Our agency has been collaborating with Kabod House since May of this year, which was kind of at the beginning of being let out of the Covid stay at home order. TASC (Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities) has been given over 1000 items to date for substance abusers, domestic battered, homeless, grade schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers, as well as the elderly. We are certainly proud to have connected with such a wonderful and giving agency. Kabod House has proven to stand firm in their commitment to its mission to serve the community as a whole. TASC appreciates and values the linkage with Kabod House International.

Thank you Kabod House for all that you do!

It was a blessing for me to be able to volunteer some of my time with Kabod House International. This organization spreads so much love when they are servicing the community by being a blessing in so many ways. Kabod House International also educates those that they come in contact with information that could save their lives and teach them how to Live Healthy. Kabod House International is a great organization that really I really love being apart of.

Kabod House International is an organization that shows a lot of compassion toward helping others especially the homeless and the youth. I frequently search the Non- for-Profit sector to see what most of the non-for-profit organizations are doing and I liked what Kabod House International was doing and it touched my heart. Great organization if you can just go to their website and look at what's going on with Kabod House International!!!!!!

The Red Pak program from this organization is just awesome for the community that it serves because this particular pak is geared toward the homeless women who really need these paks and I am grateful that this organization is able to address these types of issues that no one wants to address.

I love the work that Kabod House International is doing with women, other nonprofits and within the Nonprofit Utopia online community. They provide clothing, feminine hygiene products for homeless women and girls, diapers for their babies, food for homeless families and the list goes on.

Roberta Coleman, Kabod House's founder, is a member of the Nonprofit Utopia online community, where she is one of our most engaged members. She took a leadership role in the development of our strategic plan and lends her expertise to the community, leading discussions, training and workshops.

An investment in Kabod House, International is an investment in the fight against homelessness and poverty.

Kabod House has been wonderful to the students of PACE Elementary. They have provided coats, scarves, hats and gloves for our students for the last couple of years. Last year, they actually provided Christmas gifts for 4o of our students. At the beginning of this year, they provided us with masks, hand sanitizer and sanitary products for our students. They are truly a wonderful organization and PACE Elementary is so fortunate to have partnered up with them. They have truly made a difference in the lives of our students and have made a huge impact on our program. They are all amazing and we truly appreciate all that they do!
