Unifour One

I have worked for this organization for quite some time now and have NEVER witnessed the misuse of donations or grant money. It is a shame that positive organizations like this fall prey to people’s mean hearts and ignorance. UOC has an impeccable reputation in the community, and it’s really tragic to see it tarnished by vicious lies. The organization targets youth and adults between the ages 18 - 35. UOC aids them in getting and keeping their lives moving in a positive direction. They have assisted people in 31 counties in the state of North Carolina through mentoring programs, voter registration drives, helping with college tuition as well as other programs. In 2012, the organization did not have any volunteers, only compensated staff was brought in to assist with voter registration. I feel like this is unjust, and a true misuse of social media. People SHOULD be able to post reviews, but not if it’s not for the greater good. False reviews should not be permitted. This was a personal attack meant to tear another person down. If you give a negative review, you should be required to back it up with facts (which this person has not provided). Past sponsors have supported us financially and continue to do so. Renee Michaux is an honest person that puts countless hours into the organization and does not deserve to be slandered in this manner. She would NEVER do any of the things that were stated in the other post. Anyone that is involved in the non-profit sector knows the countless hours that are required, but that is not why we do what we do. We do this work because we are passionate about furthering the organization’s mission. Renee is constantly coming up with innovative ideas and seeking funding for programs that she wants to bring to this area. On a daily basis she is involved in different types of legislative work trying to make this world a better place one bill/person at a time. We will not let negative propaganda take our focus off of the positive things that we are accomplishing in the community.

I have worked for this organization for a few years and have never had any problems with this organization. This organization has done wonderful things for this community and throughout 31 counties in North Carolina. I do not understand why someone is spreading these lies about this organization and the people who run this organization. I can honestly say that all donations and grant money have been properly used, however i do know that in 2012 we did not have any volunteers for any work that was done only paid employees. Renee Michaux is a honest person and would never stoop to these false claims that you have posted!!!!!!!!!!! I was also involved in the after school program and never not even once was a child not fed. We provided lunch, drinks, and snacks to every child that was in this program SO HOW DARE YOU..... Our past sponsors/donors have been doctors, lawyers, paralegals, and business owners. We will not let you bring this organization down with all your false accusations and lies. We will continue to keep doing positive things in the community and where ever else our services may be needed.

I was a volunteer for this organization in 2012. It is a complete scam, there are activities held; however the funds are never seen afterwards. There was a scholorship fund that was suppose to go to college students, but they never received them following a pageant. Rene- the owner is always arguing with the other owner/boyfriend; it is an extremely unprofessional atmosphere. They attempted to run a daycamp and the majority of the time, the children were not being fed, where was the money and Rene would not take the initiative to do anything following any arguments with B. Rene absolutely refused to share any information about Grant Writing to anyone because she usually keeps the funding for personal use and/or gives L. (worker), very little or sometimes nothing. I can attest that most all funds that passed through Unifour Onestop Collaborative located in Hickory, and now located in Conover NC, has been misused! This organization needs to be investigated and I would not send any funding to them unless I was given a chance to see where every dime has been spent. Proper records, well no records are kept, except for in Rene Harrison Michaux's check book, which is where all funding has been placed and spent. SHAME ON YOU UNIFOUR!!!!!!!
