Review for The Night Ministry, Chicago, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Have Volunteered in many different ways. The Night Ministry (TNM) delivers an open ear and hand to those who are in dire need in Chicagoland.
Clients come from all over the city and suburbs. I personally have the pleasure of working with staff that qualify as angels. TNM
is reliably present with people, places and times. Better than any I have seen for homeless in Chicago. TNM helps people at the most basic of levels. "Successful clients" have told me TNM referrals helped them change their own lives. Health Out Reach Bus w/ nurse practitioner, Shelter, Food, Counseling....see 6 min video my fellow volunteer and I produced of just one of their services in Chicago.

have the Director walk and talk with a list of questions to all branches of service including volunteers looking for ways to improve. Ask tough questions.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

sad, happy, its a funny kind of mix. Reality Ck. Grateful, TNM is in Chicago. Feel like my time and money are getting worthwhile use. Wishing more people not only cared - but got up and helped. Hope you will volunteer.
