My Nonprofit Reviews

Two friends and I attended CSA's most recent monthly Chefs who Care event at Google. Every month a different local restaurant sponsors this fundraiser. I feel like my $35 donation yielded the most "bang for the buck" imaginable. Guests were treated to the Google employee dining experience which was fresh, local, wholesome, and creative cuisine. It was nice to see Google, a company that has invaded the city I grew up in, give to the community. I applaud CSA for their fundraising skills.

Project Open Hand is a great place to volunteer. I have volunteered several times in the large industrial kitchen and grocery center chopping veggies and packaging food for the thousands of meals delivered each day to sick people in need. Each 4 hour shift includes a wholesome and delicious meal served before work. First timers are treated to an orientation that explains the organization's history and the current operational workings. They use hundreds of volunteers each day. Come by yourself or with a group. Feel the satisfaction of helping and the camaraderie of working with these awesome people.
