My Nonprofit Reviews

There are many worthy Nonprofit organizations doing great things. M.O.M. is a standout to me for several reasons.
1. The staff is innovative and works to bring dignity to the experience of those utilizing services and have made it unified by offering food, clothing and housing assistance in one place. In addition, interesting and unique fundraisers brings community together, giving emotional support to all.
2. As a new volunteer, I am impressed with the sincere dedication of veteran volunteers, many who are devoting their retirement to the mission of M.O.M. It gives me incentive and drive to participate.
3. My experience particularly stocking the food pantry and in the community teaching garden has shown me that M.O.M. leadership, both staff and volunteer, is interested in building programs that provide individuals with skills that will empower them to independence, while bringing quality, dignified experiences. The food pantry operates similarly to a grocery store, replicating real life food experiences. There are tastings and fresh produce gleaned by many former UW Madision agronomists and Ag researchers who know high nutritious produce picked often from farm to pantry within hours. I helped glean some apples and pears that were directly placed in the pantry for pantry participants to have that very day. It doesn't get much fresher or higher in nutrition than that!! What a great program!!!
