Review for America's Grow-a-Row, Pittstown, NJ, USA
I volunteer because I believe we all have a responsibility to serve others. At present, I am especially concerned about the many, many families who lost their income due to the COVID19 situation. I can't fix that problem, but I can do my part to help people feed their families. It is a privilege to be able to do this, thank you for the opportunity.
Review for embrella (formerly Foster and Adoptive Family Services Inc), Princeton, NJ, USA
FAFS is a great organization. As a foster parent they are my first stop and best resource for training, support and advocacy. I had a very stressful placement and zero traction in dealing with my agency. The FAFS family advocate was there with help and advice. Our local chapter coordinator was a lifeline, ready and willing to provide help and suggestions for everything from the mundane to the extremely challenging. She is extremely knowledgeable, not only about fostering in general and who to contact for what at our local agency, but also about resources in the community.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
give them funding to add more family advocates. Currently one person is supporting multiple counties, which can make it difficult to connect with her in urgent situations.
