My Nonprofit Reviews

I started volunteering in the office at Families First about 4 years ago. I maintained client files and was able to get a glimpse of the lives some of the consummers live - many families were experiencing multiple challenges - job loss, chronic health problems, death, children with physical and mental disabilities - enough to overwhelm anyone, regardless of their financial stability. These folks had stress. I would watch the staff at FF interact with them in such a non-judgmental, caring way. They are an extraordinary group of individuals. I was fortunate to stick around long enough to see how FF changed some of these peoples' lives for the better, and how FF enabled them to get back on the road to an independent, fruitful life. I don't work in the office anymore (and I miss it) - I now devote all my time at FF to raising money to support healthcare services. I can't imagine where our community would be without it - there is nowhere else for the uninsured to go. FF does an excellent job of managing how the money is spent, and their state of the art facility and staff physicians rival that of any reputable private practice.
