Review for HomeFirst, Milpitas, CA, USA
I've been volunteering with HomeFirst for 6 years and have served on its Board for five. I am constantly inspired by the dedicated staff who care so passionately about their mission to end homelessness. I was introduced to HomeFirst while our son attended Bellarmine, where students learn about homelessness first-hand through an "urban plunge" immersion experience with HomeFirst (then known as EHC LifeBuilders). Everyone deserves a safe place to call home; many of our clients just need a second chance and a helping hand. Each week, I work with other volunteers to sort through the in-kind donations we receive: making up move-in kits for clients who are moving into permanent housing, and sorting linens that are used in our emergency shelters. It's a very rewarding way to contribute to the health of our community.
