Review for Operation Interdependence, Grand Junction, CO, USA
I founded OI a civilian-to-military delivery system to provide a means to civilians by which they can serve and support our deployed forces without impacting resources. Ten years later, the all volunteer effort continue to serve thousands deployed, their families and Veterans. The OI volunteers get a five star salute for keeping the dream alive!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
witnessing the civilians take a dream come to life!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Continue to increase awareness daily, speak to more groups to work interdependently.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
being fueled and inspired by a caring nation that are so very proud of our men and womend in uniform defending our freedoms.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
UNBELIEVABLE! Words can't describe their pride for our Warriors.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Serve and support 100% of all deployed forces wiithout impacting resources or causing the mail system to be bogged down with care from home.
Ways to make it better...
More people were aware that sending care to deployed forces is critical and the need to reach more with less.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
limited awareness. More need to learn the vision of OI so that post service is just as important if not more, so that reintegration starts during service.
One thing I'd also say is that...
The American people are caring and delivering such care requires an understanding of logistics and the need to reach the front lines with the least of burden.

Review for Albert R Renteria Corporation aka The ARRC, Temecula, CA, USA
As the founder, and Marine Veteran of 26 years of service, I created this organization to eradicate the notion of homeless Veterans by 2035. I am also a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business that affords me the means to donate my time, resources and a percentage of my profits to operate the Southwest Veterans' Business Resource Center. Since May 21, 2008, I have opened three centers and signed on 75 Veterans to take part of our 14 Level Reintegration Program where they can learn and earn stipends up to $2,080. It is the support of many that will allow us to achieve our aspiration by 2035. Join us!
