I have been part of the Palenque chapter for a couple of years and it has been very satisfying to have the opportunity to help people who have had some kind of difficulty. I have no words to express how good it feels to see the face of gratitude and hope when they see a light in the situation that they are going through at that moment. Thank you MLBA for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this beautiful cause.
As and tenured Alorica employee I have seen this program help individuals and groups during the times when they need the most help. We had an amazing individual who had a fire in their home and through the MLBA we were able to support them with support them in this time with financial aid. This is only the tip of the iceberg on the number of lives we have been able to positively help. I also love all the charities MLBA has partnered with in local communities. This is a part of our culture as a company and caring for our employees and our communities will always be our focus.
It’s been amazing to hear such positive testimonies from those impacted by MLBA. It truly warms my heart to see how dedicated this nonprofit is to helping others. This nonprofit goes above and beyond, always putting people first and making a real difference in the community. I’m proud to be part of a team that is so committed to serving with compassion and care.
Making Lives Better with Alorica allows us to reach partners in our communities which strengthen our mission and amplify our impact. Through our community partnerships we create positive change and take steps towards creating a future we can proud of.

I have the privilege of being the Program Administrator for our Chapters in Canada. Being a part of the MLBA has allowed me to do incredibly gratifying and fulfilling work with our employees and our communities. My team mates and I take great pride in all the positive work we have done through this program. We have seen our efforts make a difference both to our peers and in the communities we are all a part of. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Making Lives Better with Alorica.
MLBA is an amazing organization that supports our own team members as well as many organizations in our site's local communities as well as around the globe. Our chapters support one another in times of need to ensure we live our mission of ONE TEAM no matter where you provide that outstanding experience. During hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, and other emergencies, we lend a helping hand to the community wherever we can. MLBA truly does MAKE LIVES BETTER @ALORICA and around the globe!
Wonderful non-profit, I have had the pleasure of serving on for years and years. O cannot count how many families MLBA has helped over the last year alone. Such a great program!

I have been lucky enough to be involved with MLBA for over 5 years and have seen it literally change the lives of countless people from all over the United States. From helping to keep applicants in their homes during times of financial crisis to helping secure safe lodging for those affected by natural disasters, the impact that MLBA has made is enormous and essential to those who the non-profit serves. MLBA was also extremely beneficial during the Covid crisis and while many were out of work and missing paychecks, the MLBA organization was hard at work making sure that no one had to choose between their personal safety and keeping their family housed and with utility services. I cannot recommend this organization enough!
Being part of MLBA has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. What I thought would be a simple way to lend a helping hand turned into a journey filled with purpose and connection. The people we support, the stories we hear, and the impact we create together have touched my heart in ways I never imagined. It’s an honor to witness the profound difference this organization makes and to see how even the smallest acts of kindness can spark lasting change. I’m sincerely grateful for the chance to be part of a team that brings Alorica’s vision of making lives better to life.
Being part of the MLBA has truly been one of the best experiences of my life. The incredible work they do for those who need it most is nothing short of inspiring. Their unwavering support for employees and the profound impact they have on so many lives demonstrate their deep commitment to making a difference.
What stands out the most to me is the way MLBA is always there in moments of vulnerability. Whether it’s during natural disasters or challenging personal circumstances, they never hesitate to extend a helping hand. You never know who might be in need of support, and MLBA reminds us that no one has to face those moments alone.
It’s this blend of compassion, generosity, and unwavering presence that makes my experience with MLBA so meaningful and unforgettable.
It really brings tears to my eyes that this company has gone over and beyond for me and my family! We were affected by Hurricane Helene and they were concerned about me and my family well being. They have been such a blessing to us. I am so thankful for them. They are really nice, compassionate and very consistent. If you are in need of assistance through hard times, they are the best to help out.
As part of the Alorica El Paso culture committee i would like to give huge kudos to our employees who help drive our great results in making this nonprofit as successful as it is. Our employees participate and come together to help others in need. Thanks to the participation of everyone no matter their level. The most recent Making lives Better event I was a part of, gave me the opportunity to go out and spread the word to our community. El Paso is a strong force for our making lives better organization because of our culture and heritage to assure we can help others.
It really motivates me to see so many people working for the good of the community. Someday, I would also like to take part in this cause. Godspeed to everyone.
Being part of MLBA has been a truly life-changing experience. Witnessing firsthand the positive impact our programs have on our employees and communities is incredibly rewarding. I'm inspired by the dedication and compassion of my colleagues, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a difference alongside them. MLBA truly lives up to its name, making lives better every day.
I have donated to MLBA and served on a local chapter board for 9 years now and I've literally seen hundreds of people that have been assisted locally and nationwide! Many heartfelt thanks have been conveyed in tears of gratitude and sighs of relief from those receiving financial assistance in their time of dire need. It has brought me great joy to be part of this wonderful organization!
I have donated to Making Live Better with Alorica for 4 years now. I have seen this organization help people I work with in their time of need. I know my money is directly helping the community in which I work. I love that I can contribute directly from my pay. I have confidence that my donation is making a difference. I see it, I witness it, and I feel the strong community this charity has created in my workplace.
MLBA has helped my great-nephew, Grayson. He is 8 years old and a twin too. He has been struggling in school and my niece needed help paying for him to be tested for learning disabilities. He is a smart kid but he doesn’t learn the same as others. Because of MLBA she was able to get him tested and we found out he is on the spectrum (which we did know) but also has dyslexia and dysgraphia. It is a struggle for him but now we know and direction to help Grayson. Truly means so very much to me and I can not say Thank you enough! Proud Aunt Patricia Rincon
As a board member, you get to see first hand the impact that MLBA makes on the lives of the people, communities and organizations we serve. Being able to help families get back on their feet after a natural disaster, or helping a single parent avoid homelessness is one of the greatest things I have been apart of as a board member. We help kids get prepared to go back to school by raising funds, school supplies and toiletry items to ensure they have what they need to be successful during their school year. " Making Lives Better" is EXACTLY what we do. One of the coolest things about MLBA is that the money that is raised for each specific MLBA chapter (Which is over 55 GLOBALLY) stays within that chapter - which is unlike any other non profit that I have ever been apart of. So the funds that are raised in North Carolina stay in North Carolina and the funds raised in Texas stay in Texas - unless that individual chapter needs help. We have a thorough application and vetting process, and every decision is made by a majority vote. When everybody went to working at home MLBA quickly adapted and made significant improvements to fundraising. The Executive Board leads trainings monthly, as well as the Program Admin's are involved with each chapter on a very regular basis. This Non-Profit is unlike any I have ever been apart of and its what keeps me coming back every day to help those in need.
I currently support this nonprofit and have served on the board. This nonprofit works hard to serve the community with time and financially. While it is typically small awards, I've seen it be highly impactful for individuals. The group helps with everything from funeral costs to helping prevent homelessness.
Through the Alorica Comms, I was able to read on how MLBA has touched lives of Alorica employees. This is the reason I decided to become a regular donor.
MLBA played a pivotal role in transforming the lives of my friends and their loved ones by providing essential financial aid that significantly bolstered their ability to meet their medical needs. Through MLBA's unwavering support, my friends and their family gained access to the crucial medical treatments and interventions they required, allowing them to navigate their health challenges with renewed hope and resilience. The assistance provided by MLBA not only eased the burden of medical expenses but also demonstrated the profound impact that collective efforts can have on enhancing the well-being and quality of life for individuals in need.
I have this car accident 2 years ago, MLBA helps me pay my hospital bill in the time when I needed the most. I did not expect that they will provide that certain amount without hesitation. It really helps a lot. Thank you!
When my dad died, I really had no extra cash in the bank since it all went to his hospital bills. When he finally died, I asked for help since I was working under Alorica at the time. I filled out the MLBA form and followed up on the status constantly. Weeks turned into months with no word from MLBA. This program is as useless as dog excrement. Better shut down the program and focus your resources somewhere else. All you see on the reviews page are the good stories, the 5-star reviews. They dont show you all the bad reviews. clearly biased
It's always awesome to see children smiling every time we join MLBA on the outreach programs. Happy to know that my donations are really shared to our communities.
Being a member of the board I see first hand how much of a difference MLBA makes in the lives of others. MLBA has helped agents to pay for funeral expenses and medical bills to name a few things. I've seen how much better the agents who have received these grants has become.

I have been a board member for both Davenport and now WAH. MLBA has made my life better just simply by the impact we have made when assisting our families in need. It warms my heart to know we are helping to make a difference not only in our organization but in our communities. I am big on volunteering and giving back. MLBA has been my token to doing both. I am so grateful to be a part of such an amazing team.
I've been proudly contributing to MLBA from my paycheck for years and have witnessed the many ways the nonprofit comes together to assist individuals, their families, and their communities in times of need. The organization also offers many options for people to connect and participate, creating its own global community of giving, so to speak.
I was in need of assistance for a major surgery. The application process was easy and they were so wonderful to work with. They did not make me feel bad for requiring assistance. They were so positive and full of well wishes
Making Lives Better with Alorica has helped so many people. When our employees are in need, they turn to Making Live Better with Alorica.
after a preterm birth at 31 weeks by baby needed special formula and it was hard to find, also my little family was having financial struggles since a premature baby needs a lot of medical care. MLBA provided help with the special formula for our baby boy and he could continue being feed with it and get the benefits and vitamins he needed. we are really thankful with MLBA and now that we have the opportunity we help donating.
I was a board member in Tampa. It was humbling and heartwarming to be on the board and see all the adults, children and even animals we were able to help. Magical experience. I would definitely be on the board again.
Making Lives Better With Alorica does its best to provide supplemental income and overall support for members who may be in more need than others. The consistent fundraising for the others around us brings a good atmosphere of knowing everyone is willing to help one another in times where we need it the most. There should be much more emphasis on community and gathering with events in the future, maybe some company sponsored raffles or auctions would be amazing to participate in!! :)
I have had the pleasure of being part of MLBA for many years but serving on the board for the last two years. I enjoy watching our MLBA board come together to support local communities as well as one another when needed. Making Lives Better with Alorica is truly the definition of supporting others in their times of hardship and doing whatever we can as an organization to make others' lives better just like our names says. #MLBA4thewin
I’ve had the privilege of serving as an MLBA board member for several years at two different chapters. During this time, MLBA has helped countless individuals during their time of need while making profoundly positive impacts in local communities. Truly an inspiring and rewarding organization to be a part of.
I have had the pleasure of being on the MLBA board at our local site for several years and witnessing the impact we have had on our employees and our community has been very rewarding! We host an annual back to school drive that our entire site gets very involved in. Every year we collect enough supplies/funds to buy at least 100 backpacks filled with supplies as well as teacher supplies.
My son and I were living in a hotel for a while then he stopped receiving his SSI payments …got into our new home needed help with rent since his SSI is still under review . I needed a break to catch up on things. They paid my rent for me and I was able to buy my son school clothes and buy food . I’m currently caught up on things thanks to their help. I’m so very thankful for this they saved us from doing without food as clothes .
I cannot thank Making Lives Better with Alorica (MLBA) enough for the incredible support they provided me with not once but twice. This non-profit organization saved my life, and I am forever grateful to them. The quickness of their service and the friendly staff made the process so much easier for me, and I felt supported every step of the way.
What sets MLBA apart from other non-profits is their unique approach to corporate philanthropy. Instead of the headquarters making all the decisions about where and how to allocate charitable contributions, Alorica employees are empowered to support the communities and people that matter most to them. This approach truly shows the power of the people.
MLBA Chapters are led by local Alorica employees who coordinate fundraisers, volunteer activities, and donation drives. The local boards ultimately decide how to allocate the funds, ensuring that the money raised goes directly to those who need it most.
It fills my heart with love knowing that there are people and organizations like MLBA in the world. They truly care about their communities and are making a difference in people's lives.
Mlba has really helped my family and I. We were living in a hotel ,while awaiting approval for a permanent home . We ran out of funds due to no longer being able to work from home and they assisted us with a payment towards room that will cover us well over a month.We are very grateful.
MLB to the rescue a 2nd time!!!! Amazing teamwork to help me this time, move on very short notice. Due to some medical conditions and very unexpected financial changes both times my back was all the way to the wall. This is a caring and efficient group who while being professional really listen to and try to feel your "struggle is real"!! Donate to MLB because hopefully you or family won't need them but if you do, their "certified". My dog Slack was getting worried toward the end also .
"Sometimes saying thank you is not enough to express the gratitude we can have. The good works reflect that great feeling to seek the social good, that is why I give my sincere thanks for seeking that the employees can make positive change in each community.
I am proud to say that I am part of the great team of MLBA Panama, blessed to be able to contribute my knowledge so that many more people join and continue to support beautiful causes.
I have been working in the foundation for 1 year, and my heart, soul and life are 100% committed to make our mission be reflected in every person and community that we support. Thank you for teaching me so many things.
I am very pleased to be able to use my skills and experience gained in the past to be part of this change management in our society.
I know that we still have many adventures, projects and achievements to accomplish together but I am convinced that small changes can make a big difference."
I have been a Board Member for MLBA for a year or so now. In the past year, we have helped thousands of Alorica employees and their communities. The stories we receive really show you how much good MLBA does. Most of the time, our grantees have no where else to turn. They are about to be evicted or they don't have enough money to provide food for their children. Maybe they tragically lost a family member and now have to come up with the money to honor their dead while grieving. Some grantees have been living without electricity or running water or a natural disaster destroyed their home. When you see these people who have hit rock bottom and even a small amount from MLBA truly transforms their life, you know MLBA is is a non-profit worth donating to.
MLBA also brings communities together. Alorica employees volunteer their time to make a difference in their community. They hold school supply drives for local underserved schools, they volunteer at hospitals and elder care facilities, they give food and first aid supplies to children in need and more. (To see all the activities MLBA does to raise money for those in need and stories from those who received aid, follow MLBA on Facebook and Instagram @MLBAlorica)
The best part of MLBA is Alorica pays for the administrative fees of running the non-profit so 100% of the donations received go towards real people in need. Local chapters get to decide where these donations would be best used and grant funds to the causes that matter most to them.
Every day I am amazed at the impact MLBA makes and so proud to be a part of this incredible organization.
I'm very grateful and blessed for being part of the MLBA Guatemala Team for almost a year now.
This experience has been very special, I have been able to know and be part of lives of awesome people and their stories and families.
Other part of this great experience, is the opportunity to be part of the community with the service and aid the MLBA Team has provide.
I'm very happy and optimistic that the experience during this year will continue in the next years, so we can help others lives and communities here in my Country.
Being part of the Palenque chapter in Guadalajara Mexico has been a very satisfying experience since it has helped me get out of the bubble I was in and see beyond that there are needs in different social groups, which we have had the opportunity to support even during the time that the Covid impacted us giving us lessons of life and unity.
MLBA Mexico is always willing to help others!
I've been involved with MLBA since I start my journey with this company, I'm leading the program for my committee and supervising my country (Mexico) and it's been an insanely great experience full of peace and gratitude, just to know how little actions turn into huge impact from our people and our communities is something that makes feel very proud and happy every day that I came to work.
Wow were so I begin, my family consists of 6 people myself my husband and our beautiful 4 children all age 5 and down. We have had some huge blows in the past two years I mean you name it’s probably happened to us sadly. We have been so fortunate and blessed to make it this far and we have been trying to truly rebuild ourselves and get back on track with everything. We aren’t usually the type to ask for help but when your back is against the wall and nothing seems to go right for you when your trying and doing all you can you eventually have to put your pride to the side and ask for help. I’m so thankful that we were able to work with an employee named Celeste Prague, she was amazing she was urgent about everything and truly cared about our situation and making sure also we would be able to self sustain on our own if we did receive help from MLBA. She listened to me and was very just open minded and caring and made me feel completely comfortable and like my family mattered. I would definitely like to thank her and everyone who is apart of this program and everyone who contributed to helping me my family no longer have to panic and face homelessness. We can’t say enough how grateful we are and how much this meant to our family! Thank You everyone so so so very much!
Thank You!!!!
Sincerely,
Tiffany Jones & Family
Hace tiempo me entere de Allorica MLBA mediante un anuncio en Internet, poco después me inscribí como candidato a un apoyo tecnológico, la verdad me pareció algo imposible si quiera ser tomado en cuenta. Recibí una serie de llamadas y entrevistas donde fue muy personalizada la atención, muy atento el personal. MLBA ha cambiado mi vida en muy poco tiempo, me ha brindado la posibilidad de continuar mis estudios de una manera más eficiente, sin tener que depender de algo más, todo esto en conjunto a las atenciones me han dado una perspectiva y una iniciativa a seguir formando parte de Allorica MLBA
Siempre había escuchado sobre Organizaciones que ayudaban en casos de dificultad, pero no le creía hasta que conocí de MLBA . En 2020 Fuimos afectados tanto por la pandemia como por los huracanes Era/Iota que afectaron Honduras, la situación de nuestra familia se tornó muy difícil, tanto que estuvimos a punto de pausar la educación de nuestros hijos, afortunadamente nos enteramos del programa de beneficios de MLBA mi hijo de 11 Años aplicó y Gracias a Dios fué beneficiado con una beca para su año escolar y ha podido continuar en la escuela. Este año por segunda vez consecutiva fuimos elegidos para recibir ese apoyo que tanto necesitamos para ambos hijos, solo podemos decir: Gracias MLBA Dios bendiga a cada voluntario, a cada persona que hace su donativo para ayudar y así cambiar la vida de muchas personas que lo Necesitan. Ustedes son verdaderos angeles..
I work in Employee Experience, where I always want to help people. Working on MLBA gives me an opportunity to help people who are in difficult situations and make it better for them. It feels good when we can make a real difference in people's lives and am grateful to be part of that.
I have been a board member for our Joplin location for a few years and I have to note that helping those in need has more value than any paycheck I earn. The passion and ideas that are born from our group, from the planning of fund raisers, to the approval of financially being able to restore a missing light in others lives, make this part of my career one of the most valued positions that I'll ever hold. We truly make a difference and Make Lives Better.
I have been a Board Member of the Cutler Bay site since the beginning. I have always volunteered on other non profits that help the community yet I really wanted to be able to help those that I came in contact with. So when that opportunity came around through MLBA, I wanted to be apart of that. There is such a great feeling when you are able to tell a fellow employee that we are able to help them . The look in their eyes of appreciation that someone actually cares and is willing to help them get through the obstacle they were facing is a heart warming feeling. I believe that you should always try to help others when you can; because you never know if it might be you that needs a helping hand someday.
The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves but by Amazing heroes and I'm proud to be apart of greatness being a MLBA member is one of the proudest accomplishment in my career here at ALORICA ,helping others during the most difficult time in their lives or helping a neighbor in the community achieve their dreams bring such Joy to my heart and put a BIG SMILE on my face family takes care of family because that What we do here at ALORICA.
MLBA supported me after my home fire when I had no where to turn for help. At the time I was with Alorica-Miami Lakes for 5 months when an electric surge in my bedroom caused a spark setting my apartment on fire. I lost everything along with my 2 year old son belongings. Being new to a company I did not want to share that I had no support for the essentials to work or bring my son to school. My co-workers told me about MLBA and the out pouring of support came in right on time not only financially, but mentally. I was able to get that boost I needed to start over and I am forever grateful. This show of support prompted me to join MLBA to give other individuals that same support needed during a time of hardship. THANK YOU MLBA!!
As a volunteer, I've had the opportunity to look at life from different perspective; the ability to be part of something like Making Lives Better With Alorica has been extremely fulfilling and satisfying.
MLBA has helped me after my family and I had a house fire. It’s made me realize how important it is to volunteer for causes like these. I am so happy to be on the board so that I can help others!
Alorica believes in making lives better and as an MLBA volunteer, I've been proud to see the impacts our chapter makes in the lives of our employees and in our community. Through our community events we've been able to support local school children, veterans and women's shelters. It's always great to see how our actions benefit those in need and how our actions keep us connected to the El Paso community. We are blessed to be a part of this awesome organization!
Being a part of the MLBA team has given me hope and ambition for a better tomorrow. Being able to tell someone that is struggling and in some cases feels hopeless that "We Can Help" and that "It's Going To Be Ok" is so rewarding and humbling. I am in a small community but surrounded by big struggles and to know that we are able to offer a way when there seems like none is life changing. Every grant is not just reviewed but prayed over. I love when someone has a financial need for something specific but we are able to review and collaborate to offer not just money but hope and a better life!
MLBA has made my life better in so many ways! Supporting MLBA as a volunteer member of my local chapter is deeply rewarding and an entirely unique experience for me during my 30+ years in this industry. Being in an environment where fellow team members support one another through giving time and resources and sharing burdens is very satisfying.
I have been an MLBA Member for the El Paso chapter for several years and love being a part of such a special charity that truly cares about people and most importantly Alorica employees. This is one reason I put my heart and soul and creativity in to every single event we have for MLBA. I want to continue to help our Employees and our Community when its in need. MLBA has made my life better by helping others make theirs and that is where the true reward kicks in!
I love helping people and the fact that I get to contribute my time, money, and efforts to help those in my community is a blessing. Making Lives Better With Alorica is a great non-profit that meets people where there are, and especially at times when they feel there is no one to help. Being able to help and support those in our community is a great honor, and in Sarasota, FL we are overjoyed to help our people.
It has been an amazing experience to be part of our local MLBA committee. We have been able to help employees and community members in some of the most dire times of their life. The stories we encounter are sometimes hard to listen to and are often very sad, I would never personally be able to help as much as I would like to or as much as they need but as part of the MLBA I am empowered to change life's and positively impact the outcome of these situations. In my many roles here at Alorica being part of the MLBA is one of the most rewarding!
I have been part of the Greensboro, NC chapter for a couple of years now and it has been life changing. Its one thing to read the applications, but when you see an applicant face to face and they tell you their story its really makes the difference. I have to imagine myself in their shoes and during this experience I have learned not to take anything for granted because it could be me. It makes my heart over flow to see the face of someone who is grateful for what I was able to assist them with. To see the relief on their face and show of gratitude is a wonderful feeling. I will forever be grateful for being chosen to be a part of wonderful team.
I enjoy being part of the San Antonio Woodway chapter. Helping people is near and dear to my heart so when I get a chance to help someone in need I feel like I am doing some good in the world. I enjoy watching their reaction or hearing their gratefulness in their voice. The work we do in the community and in our organization is incredible. Serving is a privilege that I do not take lightly and really enjoy. I truly feel like this non profit is a fulfillment of God's purpose in my life.
It is great being a volunteer for MLBA! I get a front row seat to see how this program helps our employees at a time that is critical in their lives! it's amazing to witness the outcome and how it impacts the lives of those we assist! You take care of the people and they will take care of the business! MLBA is one way that does just that!!!!
I have been a board member for going on 4 years and it is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. I am grateful for those that come and share their stories in times of need and that I get to be a part of the decision making process. When we provide a grant it is great to know we helped out during a time of need.
I have been part of the MLBA NextGen Program for over 2 years now and I am so thankful for this organization. MLBA has give me the opportunity to give back to my community in a way that I never imagined. I am so thankful for the leadership skills that I have been able to gain through this program.
Who can you lean on when you’re in need? MLBA has taught me what it truly means for someone to lend a helping hand and be a shoulder to lean on. There are so many ways to evaluate a non-profit yet in the end there is really only one way to determine the success of a non profit, which is by measuring the positive impact they have on the cause the organization is designed to champion. In the case of MLBA, the countless heartfelt stories of people that were touched by MLBA and even lives potentially changed by what can only be described as a miracle.
The mortgages that have been paid, the life saving medical care that has been funded, providing the resources that were in need and realized fast; where there was no where else to turn there was MLBA. MLBA is successful because of the people who devot their time, knowledge, energy, and resources into this passion that they believe in. The cause, quick execution, and support received is what truly allows MLBA to make the tremendous impact they have made this far and continue to do so many others. Thank you MLBA for sharing the love!
I have never come across an organization that so selflessly gives of their time, energy and resources as MLBA. Whether it is to help an individual make their mortgage payment after someone in their family suddenly falls ill, or supplying underprivileged children with much needed school supplies, MLBA can and will find a way to help. They have created a network that identifies those that could use a little help and then draws from seemingly endless resources in order to offer solutions to difficult situations. MLBA figures out the best way to help and support those in need. No two predicaments are the same and MLBA treats each person or moment of need with personalized attention and care in order to offer the most appropriate solution. Simply stated, MLBA puts others before themselves. Their team works tirelessly to make sure that they are doing everything in their power to make other people’s lives better every single day.
Making Lives Better With Alorica has changed my life. Through it, I have experienced the kindness of people day in and day out. I have seen communities bond together to assist in natural disaster. I have experienced others- who have their own personal struggles- offer to keep their neighbor housed. I have seen a woman who could not afford medical care lifted on the backs of volunteers and donors who gave passionately so that she could receive life-saving treatment. Person after person- whether volunteer, donor, grantee- make up an incomparable force. Now, as I write this review, I realize that it is my humble pleasure to be swept up in this wave of goodness. It has gifted me with perspective and purpose; it is truly an honor to be a partner amongst the thousands that continue to make lives better across the globe.
I have had the pleasure of watching MLBA's growth since its formation in 2015. In the past five years, I have personally witnessed how little acts of kindness can change the world. What surprises me most is how much people are willing to help, even if they themselves confront so many challenges. It makes me understand that compassion is born of seeing one another's humanity. I am willing to contribute my time and energy to others because I see that we are one and the same. When crisis affects one member of a community, it affects the entire community. When kindness touches one life, it touches others. It uplifts the mindset of an entire body. In the end, I am grateful to be part of an organization that encourages others to make lives better. For one and all!
I've had the pleasure of volunteering with MLBA for the past two years. My experience has been life-changing and has given me the opportunity to give back to my community and help people in need. I feel like I've been able to positively impact people's lives all around the world; seeing the difference we make is truly rewarding. I love how MLBA makes you feel like you are part of a family!!
It's such a great feeling supporting an organization that you truly believe in...one where you know your money is making a big difference in the lives of your colleagues around the world or the communities they live in. It's the kind of nonprofit that brings people closer and makes you want to do more. In the past few years, we've had the awesome opportunity of partnering with other orgs like Orangewood Foundation, Second Harvest Food Bank and Working Wardrobes. I'm constantly inspired by the stories of people who've overcome great suffering with strength and gratitude as well as those who gave to them with kindness and generosity.
I have volunteered with Making Lives Better With Alorica for almost 2 years. The opportunity to make a difference in our community is endless. I am particularly touched by how much those involved are willing to give. Even in their busy lives and tight budgets, those committed to MLBA go out of their way to help others.
The nonprofit focuses on helping one another through tough times. Everyone- at some time in their lives- faces hardships. As humans, we all carry difficulties that weigh us down. Whether its a losing a home or not having enough food to put on the table, the people of MLBA understand these struggles. So much so that when it feels like all hope is lost, MLBA reaches out a hand and picks our neighbors up.
As one of the Program Administrators for this Charity I can tell you this is by far the most rewarding job I have ever had. I am humbled every day by the generosity of the people I work with and the basic human needs that so many people struggle to be able to maintain for themselves and their families. Our program is there to help get people back on their feet and moving in the right financial direction again. I am so proud of the work our teams across the globe do to support their families and their communities and of the part I play in ensuring they have all the tools they need to get the job done.
MLBA is an outstanding organization. I love that I know where my $$ goes and that it supports the people I work with. Every $ is used to give a hand up to people that need it; none of the donations are used to pay salary or costs for administration.
It is special to be a part of such a unique program, where we can truly make a difference in our little corner of the universe!
On Sunday, September 10, 2017, Fort Myers took a direct hit from Hurricane Irma that made landfall just south of us as a category 4 with the eyewalls and eye passing right over us. Many of our employees and their families were majorly affected, from wind and debris damage, flooding and being without electricity for days and, in many cases, several weeks. We also had families that had evacuated and found themselves stranded with not enough money or gas to return. MLBA was prepared and had opened a Disaster Relief Fund for the affected local chapters to access and help our community. Within 3 days, the Fort Myers Chapter was already handing out gift cards to help our employees (before FEMA was even set up). However, it soon it became clear that we could not find enough gift cards in our area for Global MLBA reach out to Chapters in other unaffected parts of the county and they stepped up, went to their local stores, purchased gift cards, and shipped them overnight to us. The Mobile, Alabama, and Pensacola, Florida, MLBA Chapters on their own collected supplies (water, batteries, canned food, diapers, baby formula, personal hygiene items, plus more). They filled a box truck and local Members from both chapters drove overnight with the truck and a car to Fort Myers to deliver the supplies by that Friday afternoon. Later, the MLBA Board even came in to lend their emotional support to all of us. In the end, we were able to help, in less than 30 days, over 250 people and families with over $40,000.00 of gift cards and supplies.
