Review for Helping Hand House, Puyallup, WA, USA
Our quilt group makes quilts for the beds of the families. We attended a breakfast fundraiser and toured the offices and learned about the programs. I was so impressed that my husband and I decided Helping Hand House would get a large chunk of our charitable contributions. I also met a young woman who received help from HHH and found out she was the daughter of an acquaintance. It's great to hear how her life has turned around. This group is transitional housing for homeless "families" and helps the families with food, shelter, budgeting, job training, and job placement. It's no free ride; they learn what's necessary to survive and keep themselves away from homelessness in the future.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Meeting with recipients, volunteers and employees of HHH.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Ask that monthly receipts be mailed semi-annually or yearly, but not every month as it wastes money in printing and postage. A person can see the deduction was made by looking at their account. Or perhaps an email confirmation instead.
