I am ever grateful and will ensure that I keep recommending the best credit repair company (XAP CREDITSOLUTION) for helping me, and my family fix our credit score of470 to 805 within a period of 7days. We had the issues of not being able to rent an apartment or own a house; to obtain a loan to clear my son’s school fees wasn’t possible as a result of poor credit score. I had several late payments to the extent my car was almost retrieved hence I couldn’t meet up with the payment. XAP changed the narrative just after I contacted them. This company has proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are experts in credit repair. Therefore, I strongly recommend you Email: XAPCREDITSOLUTIONAT GMAIL DOT COM or Text +1 (801) 988 9890 to any person who may need the services of a legit hacker. They’re very swift. Note: I wasn’t induced in any way to write this review.

I am the Clinical Supervisor for Trinity Care Services, located in Glendale Arizona. We work with those battling substance abuse addictions and co-occurring disorders. For the past three months or so, we have been taking our clients to this agency to volunteer their time. I can honestly say this has been an amazing experience for not out our clients, but staff as well. We are always welcomed and we get to see what this agency really does, and it is amazing. We really feel we are making a difference together and truly supporting our women and men who defend this country. We absolutely love this organization and all they stand for. We are always thankful to them for allowing our clients to be apart of the mission.

I have been volunteering with Packages from Home for over 10 years, and have been a board member for the last three. I love this organization for 3 reasons:
1) You can't ask for a more worthwhile cause, supporting the men and women of our armed forces, who are protecting our freedoms. I always say that we are sending them a little piece of home to put smiles on their faces. What's better than that?
2) Through our Packages for Hope program, we also work within our community to provide food and hygiene items to our homeless veterans.
3) And the best reason is that the staff is so friendly and makes the events and packing parties so much fun you don't realize how much work you have accomplished until you look at the huge stack of boxes ready to be shipped to our service members!
I will continue to work with Packages From Home for a long time, and I recommend you check them out!

I've volunteered through my employer (Desert Financial Credit Union) several times with Packages From Home and have felt happy with my experience every time. They are ultra organized and make the most of the time the volunteers give. We always understand the impact we're making and the mission of the organization. Thank you for the great work you do and for ensuring your volunteers feel valued.

I have volunteered at Packages From Home on multiple occasions with my work peers and it is a very gratifying experience and an organized non-profit. The work they do and that we can participate in makes a difference to those serving our country and is just a small way in which we can show gratitude for that sacrifice. I highly recommend volunteering at and supporting Packages From Home!

PFH is a fantastic organization. They not only help deployed military enjoy of piece of home while they are out defending our country BUT they also help our local Veterans here in AZ get essential services to make their daily lives more fulfilled! I love volunteering & being on the board here and once you step foot in their facility you feel instantly welcome and part of the family :) Thank you PFH for all that you do for our veterans and active military!

I have been a part of Packages From Home for seventeen years from the very beginning when we were having packing parties in our garages and living rooms to the present with a giant warehouse and office for staff. We have always had the same mission to increase the morale of our men and women in our overseas military, and to support all veterans who served their country. I LOVE the feeling of sending some ‘home’ to the active military overseas who are separated from family for long periods, and supporting veterans with thanks and compassion and everyday necessities. And this is accomplished by many volunteers and a small staff. Packages From Home is a wonderful nonprofit organization!

My youngest daughter volunteered with her Girl Scout Troop and the girls loved creating the boxes to be sent abroad! The youngest had so much fun that her oldest sister and some friends decided to volunteer a few times as part of National Honor Society as well! Love that there is something for everyone to help with!

As a retired Army Officer, I am very aware of how packages, like those I had the privilege to put together with friends, affect soldiers far from home and family. These small tokens of appreciation "make the day" of all who receive them. Thank You Packages from Home!

During a leadership development course I was challenged to volunteer in my community. I found Packages from Home and knew I wanted to be a part of what they were doing. Alli Riley made it so easy to organize a time to come in and do a packing. We assembled and filled boxes and had a blast while doing it. I’ve been back two other times and plan on many more visits to the amazing team at Packages From Home:)

This is an amazing organization that we have volunteered with for many years. It has always been a very pleasant experience and I am always excited to volunteer again. Their events are well organized and the people running them are very sweet and helpful. I would recommend this organization to anyone in need of service hours or people who just wish to find a place to volunteer as a family, school, or community. They have a great mission that I am honored to participate in, and hope to encourage others to do the same.

Packages From Home is an incredible nonprofit. Their commitment to supporting our veterans and active duty military personnel is making a difference in the lives of our heroes! They're also making a difference in the lives of those who volunteer for them. Their top notch packing party experience is uplifting and impactful. These parties are great for everything from corporate team building to church service projects. Participate with Packages From Home and support their mission. You will not only change the life of a hero, you'll change your own.

I've volunteered with Packages from Home for more that 8 years and am proud to see that a very high percentage of all donations go directly to the troops.
Everyone works hard and has fun packing boxes and doing any of the needed tasks.

I’ve volunteered with Packages From Home a couple of times, and they are wonderful. Easy to work with, organized, and informed. Probably the most impactful part of their facility is their memory wall, which is papered with hundreds of thousands of thank you notes, pictures, and momentos that servicemen and women and their families have sent to them. It makes you realize how impactful their work is!

This organization has sent care packages to many of my friends and family across several military branches. My deployed loved ones were so appreciative and so was I. Love what PFH does for our heroes!
