My Nonprofit Reviews

I've experienced the professionalism and friendliness of IHS first hand, although I've never been homeless or worked at IHS. My first type of experience was in donating food left over from professional meetings or large private events. When I pull my car up to IHS, one or more clients comes up and politely offers to help me carry in whatever I've brought. They gently direct me to a parking place and lead me to the donation receipt office. It's obvious that IHS has inspired good morale and modeled friendliness to engender this kind of response from their clients.

The second type of experience was occasioned by my need for a strong person to help with small chores like carrying some heavy buckets down 30 steps to my garage - I'm elderly and not strong enough to do heavy work like that. It's impossible to find anyone to do brief work like that in the regular labor market. After a little thought, I called IHS and was referred to their social worker, who immediately identified a couple of gentlemen who would help me. I use the term gentlemen accurately. From the time I picked up my helpers til I dropped them off again, they were considerate, polite and very willing to help. Of course I paid them generously for their time! The social worker was courteous and immediately understood my problem. I've repeated this experience a couple of times with the same great service through IHS. IHS really provides a service to the community in many more ways than one might think!
