My Nonprofit Reviews

I’ve had two trips to H.E.R.O.E.S. Care, Inc this year. I’m a Vietnam Era Veteran and have several health issues, so I so appreciate how the process works and the help given while choosing items. I went with a friend, which is how I found out about this organization, so I had an idea of what items I might need. I especially like the canned foods, which allows me to make easy meals. The other variety of items are also so appreciated and are items that I could not really afford on my fixed income. Volunteers are so pleasant and helpful. They are always surprised that I don’t get more items, but I try to take things that I can use! No babies, men or pets in my household, so I don’t touch those items. I do not feel that I am embarrassed by using their services as I have served my country and put my career on hold for the years I served, so when I entered the workforce, although I was thoroughly qualified, due to Navy training and using the GI Bill to finish my Associate Degree, I, as a woman in the 70-80’s, only got hired as my company had a government contract, I got my foot in the door, but I was ten years older than my co-workers, and was hired in at a lower salary, a very common practice for women in the workforce at that time.
