Review for NECHAMA - Jewish Response to Disaster, Saint Paul, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I volunteered with Nechama in Iowa after the flooding in 2009. The staff was the perfect balance of friendly and professional so that work got done, but you could still enjoy being with other volunteers. They had the tools necessary, and have been improving their care to an interpersonal level. All around, a great organization
