Review for VFW National Home , Eaton Rapids, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The National Home for Children is thrilling to visit, but limited in its capacity at the Michigan campus. I am much more impressed by its attempts to move out of the "local community" with its outreach to military families in other states and a program to assist those families where they live. There will always be orphans, but thankfully they are fewer now. I believe the Home's new direction lies in its efforts to fix the broken families all across the nation.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

visitng and listening to the stories of former and current residents as told by the residents.

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

the most dedicated and loyal to be found in any organization such as this.

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

provide additional services to military families outside Michigan. I believe it would take a billion bucks to build an additional campus of the same quality.

Ways to make it better...

I had more time to give.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

to serve the entire military community in order to preserve its national support. The Home's outreach program must be able to unite families with capable and willing support groups near the families' established residence.

One thing I'd also say is that...

There are many success stories coming out of the National Home - please support so that the stories continue.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
