My Nonprofit Reviews

I have known of IDES and been a fan of their work for many years. Over the past couple of years I have had the opportunity to volunteer with them in a variety of ways and on numerous disaster relief projects. They really do take help and hope to people in the midst of their need. As a volunteer, I feel they communicate well regarding their mission, their expectations, and the nature of the work needing done. Their model of partnering with local churches in a disaster area helps them to not only identify real needs, but it creates a local connection that those receiving help can turn to even after IDES has completed their work. I think so highly of the work IDES is doing that I joined them in storm damage cleanup in Iowa, then a few weeks later helped with relief efforts following Hurricane Laura, then joined them for another week following Hurricane Delta. I could go on, but my best recommendation would be for you to volunteer with them as soon as you can and if you can't, then financially support their work in the best way you can!
