As a professional in the social service field, I have referred people to the Real Life Center for services and resources as well as stopped by to pick up items for persons in need. The staff is highly qualified and always helpful. This is a very professional and well-run organization and provides vital services to the community. They are also excellent stewards of all financial and in-kind resources. I highly recommend the Real Life Center to community stakeholders and investors.
I worked in Nonprofit Management for over 20 years in Atlanta and also spent two years evaluating nonprofits for major donors. The Real Life Center is in a category by itself! Not only do they make a real difference in people's lives, but they also handle everything in a systematic and professional manner. Other church-based organizations I tried to help with just pass out food and clothes. The Real Life Center helps people as clients and assists them to make a plan with progress, not just handouts. I personally help with client resumes and resume/job classes. I am a small donor and hope to do more. I also help collect and pick up Christmas Gifts, especially for the teenagers.
In such as an affluent area as Fayette and Coweta Counties, the Real Life Center is such a blessing to people in crisis to have somewhere to turn. Many of them were affluent and embarrassed to be in need, and they are treated as clients in such a respectful way!
You could not support a better organization.
