Review for Matthews Crossing, Chandler, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been donating to Matthew's Crossing for two years and always receive help and gratitude from the volunteer staff. The recent move to a larger center has helped in having more storage area to accomadate the larger demand of clients who are in need of food and other supplies. The Kids Cafe project is trying to raise funds to be able to help children in need of a place to go after school is out. Any assistance to this project will be greatly appreciated. I have also volunteered in stocking bags for the supplemental food day. This is a very worthy cause and needed charity in our community. Aimee, the executive director is very knowledgable and thankful person to work with. Aimee is also very easy to communicate with if she is not available by phone, she can be reached by email. Aimee is dedicated to helping the those in need.

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

Watching people pick up food and expressing their gratitude to the volunteer staff.

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

Find a larger facility to help with the expanding need in the community and also a location that is easier to get in and out of with a vehicle.
