Review for Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission, North Hills, CA, USA
My experience with Hope of the Valley began from behind a computer, within the office. I got to see the organization from a behind the scenes perspective. I attended weekly staff meetings that included prayer and team building, received emails from my supervisors simply asking how I am doing, and had the opportunity to interact with the homeless guests each day. In today's society, it is easy to lose faith in non profit organizations when distrust is so plentiful, and I'm happy to say that Hope of the Valley completely restored my faith in the goodness and power that organization such as this one have. I've seen firsthand lives of the homeless being changed, addicts becoming advocates for justice, and families healed. I learned that it is not enough to feed an individual; it means to understand why they are in their situation and to remedy it as best as we can. This is what I had the honor of witnessing, and I am forever changed because of this amazing organization.
