My Nonprofit Reviews

There isn't enough space or time to express my experiences and wonder about the effort love and care that One Community Now gives to the community in so many ways. From the Stand Down, Pack A Sack and the Hunger Walk their efforts and work keep on giving.

I have been volunteering for the Stand Down for many years which is for the at risk or homeless veterans in our community. Each year it gets better and better with this outreach. I see the happiness and joy that each veteran experiences by their attendance. They are helped with jobs, housing, dental, doctors, haircuts, spiritual help and more. Sometimes just the opportunity to share with their fellow veterans their past experiences is what they need to make changes in their lives. They are fed, have workshops, entertainment and fellowship during their time at the Stand Down. For those that stay overnight they receive clothing, shoes and showers. The moto is " Give a hand up not a hand-out". This moto gives our veterans honor and pride.

One Community Now is a faith-based organization and their "Light" shines in the community. I get to share with our veterans the love and thankfulness for their serving our country during and through the year until our next Stand Down. We have had those veterans that have come to several stand downs to be helped and then return to volunteer to give back to those in need.

God is working through the workers at One Community Now to make a difference.
