Review for The Dreaming Zebra Foundation, Portland, OR, USA
The Dreaming Zebra Foundation is an amazing organization! I began my AmeriCorps term serving at a local non-profit in June and I needed arts supplies as soon as possible. I serve low-income families at a transitional housing location where we do not have a budget to purchase supplies for the families. I posted an add on Craigslist for arts supplies and heard within hours of a local non-profit, The Dreaming Zebra Foundation. I contacted them and emailed an application for art supplies. My extension had not yet been set-up but The Dreaming Zebra Foundation employees were extremely persistent and they were able to contact me via my supervisor. I talked with two employees of The Dreaming Zebra and they drove out 5 boxes of amazing art supplies within 30 minutes! These art supplies allowed us to begin art classes with the kids of Richmond Place which have been amazing! We are also able to bring in mentors to work with kids one on one using the supplies to create awesome crafts. The Dreaming Zebra Foundation is amazing! They are extremely efficient and are able to provide their services in a timely manner and have an amazing staff. I definitely intend to support The Dreaming Zebra Foundation in any way possible and hopefully to receive future donations when needed.
