My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been affiliated with this non-profit via the Bd of Directors for over 10 years. This is an extremely effective and efficient organization. Operating costs are less than 5% (well below the accepted 25% from non-profits) and we have in place a powerful fraud prevention program to insure that truly needy families in our community our served. In addition we have collaborations with numerous other non-profit and community organizations to help our clients with other needs such as housing, medical care and jobs!

I've been a volunteer at Prodisee for many years and currently serve as the President of the Bd of Directors. What most amazes me about Prodisee and our mission to provide food and resources to families in need is our efficiency. Since 2003, over 185,000 families made up of 450,985 individuals from Baldwin County have received help from Prodisee Pantry. We distribute over 600 tons of food and groceries, including lots of healthy fresh produce, each year! This is accomplished because we have an excellent Executive Director and hundreds of volunteers who make this happen. Our efficiency allows us to commit 95% of our donated funds to our mission!

I have served on the Bd of Directors for Prodisee for the last 4 years. I became involved with this organization after my wife had become a regular volunteer. There are so many good things to say about Prodisee, the number of families served (over 15,000 in 2015), the number of community partner agencies we work with (over 35), the additional support programs we offer (free GED and job fairs on sight), the fresh produce we are able to share with our clients, etc. But what makes our mission successful is the core volunteers who take time from their busy schedules to help those in need in our community. http://prodiseepantry.org/
