Review for People Serving People, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

From the first moment I walked into PSP as a volunteer, I was hooked on that place. I went in with a group of kids who had done a fundraiser for PSP. We were given a tour of the building and all of the facilities, and told of the programs and assistance they offer. That comprehensive tour, along with the ability of the PSP staff member to connect us to the place was what really engaged us and kept us coming back. Since then myself and my family have been back to paint murals, and do other jobs numerous times. PSP has such respect and care for the families who are staying there, and it is clear that providing these things really makes a difference in the lives of the people who temporarily call PSP home. And their programs to train and help employ people coming out of PSP are innovative and vital to those who wish to move past their current state, and into the next part of their life journey...providing a basis for a stable home for their families. I cannot even imagine how many people they have helped! I LOVE PSP, and I feel like there is a light and warmth and and positive spirit that emanates from that building down there on the corner. The city would NOT be the same without it.

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

Talking to the people who were staying there while I worked with their kids on art projects. I know how the families/parents felt about the chance to get back on their feet while at PSP.

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

I can't think of anything...I just wish it was bigger!

Role:  Volunteer & I painted murals with the kids that were staying at the shelter.
