Review for VISTO, Gainesville, TX, USA
I have volunteered at VISTO for a few years now. I enjoy coming into the office and helping those in need with some basic essentials like food. Their look of gratitude says it all for me! What hope VISTO gives to the hurting heart and hungry stomachs! (And more.) I have worked in the non-profit world for several years. I know that VISTO has sound financial practices and excellent policies and procedures. You could not ask for a better group of caring staff! I especially like the Backpack Buddy Program which helps provide food for the weekend for school age participants and their siblings. These nutritional snacks are often the only source of nutrition these kids have over the weekend. This little act of kindness makes a big difference to many families and also helps the kids do better in school. Pigs for Jesus is another favorite of mine because it takes locally raised pigs and distributes the meat to many different families in this area. It is true evidence that a little goes a long way! I could go on and on bragging about VISTO. But I encourage you to come in for yourself and help stop hunger!
