My Nonprofit Reviews

Being a single mother to one child is hard and even harder in today's economy. I ended up having another baby and hard times turned even harder. I make pretty good money but couldn't afford everything especially with everything up two or three dollars. I am a full-time mom, a full-time student and work a full-time job and it wasn't enough. I filled out all the paperwork for food stamps and was told with a three-person household I made too much money to get assistance. I thankfully was able to get childcare assistance but just barely. Without food stamps it was really hard trying to purchase the basic necessities just to survive. I bought as much as I could afford and fell behind on bills to pay for food and gas because going to work and feeding my family was more important.

A friend of mine who is also in the program and that I work with told me about this organization. I filled out the initial application and got an interview. I brought in all the necessary paperwork and went through the interview process with Laura and Chelsea. They are some of the greatest women I've ever met. The kindness and compassion these women showed me and were so understanding of how someone could do their best and still fall on hard times.

I was able to visit the pantry and get food items, diapers and wipes the same day. I was a great weight off my shoulders knowing I had found some place to be in my corner to help me and my girls out. I have only been at this place for 3 weeks and already they have helped me out so much and continue to help us. This is the best place ever. Everyone is amazing!!
