My Nonprofit Reviews

My wife and I have volunteered at Interfaith Community Services, in Escondido, five years. We spent our professional careers working closely with and serving people, so upon retirement, we began looking into how we could continue to both stay connected, and serve our community at the same time. Interfaith seemed like the perfect opportunity! We soon found out that volunteers were needed, and welcomed, in several areas. As we began to volunteer, we could see that we were always treated with so much respect and appreciation as members of the team! We've formed some great and rewarding friendships with the staff. We started out helping to prepare and serve lunches, one day per week, for the veteran's at Merle's Place. We've also had the opportunity to help with picking up donations from local retail stores and individuals in the community. Our current assignment involves organizing and distributing food for clients in the Interfaith pantry. As we've worked in our volunteer capacity, we've been able to see just how much the staff at Interfaith continually care for, and work hard for the clients who come through their doors. It's a great place to go if you want to see people caring for people! We're thankful and blessed to have the opportunity to help others in need. The experience has certainly given to us as much as we hope we've given to others!
