Review for Food For Thought, Forestville, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a volunteer at the Forestville based Sonoma County AIDS foodbank, I have never seen such magic. There are 500 volunteers and only 5 staff so we work our tails off for our 600+ clients. We help grow organic produce in our garden, give dignity to our clients by not demanding more info than HIV status and residency and we also serve families who are affected by HIV/AIDS. You have to see this place to beleive it!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the comradierie amongst the volunteers, many of whom are also clients giving back time as they aren't in a position to donate food or money.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

generous - in spirit, time and love.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

serve people with all life threatening illnesses, not just HIV/AIDS.
