My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had the privilege and joy of volunteering with PNA the past two years and cannot speak too highly of the experience. Despite the challenges of these last two years, Patrick, the PNA board, & the entire team, have adapted and stepped up to continue to serve & bring joy during the holiday season.
If anyone is looking to connect with an organization that does great work and will provide an opportunity to receive more than you give - this is it.

St. Mary’s is a great place to be involved with! If you’re looking to volunteer, you’ll find a friendly & welcoming staff & fellow volunteers - and you can see first hand how you are helping.
My wife & I have been volunteering since early last year and each week we look forward to being there - even more than when we first started.
And by donating we feel even more a part of this great organization and its much needed mission.

This past Christmas Season was the 1st time I volunteered with PNA for its Christmas Tree Project. Thousands & thousands of toys, books & art activity kits were delivered to schools - many of which have students who certainly can use the good cheer! When we delivered the toys to the schools the staffs couldn't believe that this was accomplished during these times.
And despite Covid, Santa Pat not only oversaw the gathering & delivery of all these gifts, he also saw to it that the kids would still have their "visit" with Santa! Not in-person, of course, but through a 40+ minute video production featuring Santa Pat, Sergeant Elfie reading the Polar Express book, & Polar Express Conductor - Casey "Choo-Choo" Coalman - providing a "behind-the-scenes" account of happenings on The Polar Express.
Can't wait to volunteer next year & participating in-person with the kids at all the schools. If there is one charitable project that you want to choose to participate with - this is it!
