My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a volunteer with Galatians 6:2. This organization is so much more than a food pantry. Galatians is an Outreach Ministry for Veterans, homeless, hungry and people with all manner of needs. Galatians started as a vision for April that has become a calling for her. I have always been skeptical of these type organizations, seeing them as "do gooders" instead of doing good because it becomes a business with high paid employees giving the minimum back to the community. That is not the case with Galatians. I did not know April prior to volunteering, I just wanted to contribute some time, energy and resources to give back for all of my blessings from God. I have learned that being thankful and being grateful are two different things. Being grateful is thankful in action. April recently added a thrift store to her duties at Galatians which is a ton of work for her but every penny goes right to the food pantry. I have seen this in action. I have seen her take from her own pocket to make ends meet or to help someone that walks in with needs that I take for granted. Galatians helps and works with Vets, families, teens, homeless, elderly, fire victims and other organizations and events. April will go into the woods where homeless live to give them food, first aid, toiletries and supplies. I have never heard her judge anyone or make comments as to whether anyone is deserving or undeserving. Galatians 6:2 is the name of the NPO and April manages it with so much integrity and leans on her love and faith in God. I am so proud to be a volunteer at Galatians 6:2 and I pray that I can continue to balance my family life with God's help in a way to continue to volunteer there. Thank you April for accepting my time and energy to help with your calling to " Carry each other's burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians needs more volunteers!
