Review for Food For Thought, Forestville, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a volunteer, I delivered weekly packages of food to clients who could not leave their homes. Just seeing the look of gratitude on their faces made it all worthwhile: people actually cared that this person received nutritious meals, which would help them with all their other HIV medical problems.

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

helping the local HIV community, as well as reaching out to help the HIV community in Africa.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Give them more funds, to do even more good for the people around us.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the clients are so grateful, and the general community is always supportive.

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

committed individuals who wanted to make a positive difference.

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

increase the level of excellence, in providing nutritional food and information about healthy nutritional practices.

Ways to make it better...

there were a larger budget, so no tough cutbacks would be necessary

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

future limits on funding

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

More volunteers keep showing up, because they see what an important contribution is being made by this nonprofit.
