I am so thankful to Kelly for helping me save a tiny bird!…read more Somehow a little bird got stuck on a rat glue board that was in my garage. I didn't see it until 4+ hours later. I was panicking and didn't know what to do! Called San Ramon PD, Animal control, some wildlife rescues, 6-7 vets but no one was able to help me. I poured a lot of oil over the bird and was able to get his feet free, but I was too scared to do anything more. My SIL then left a message for Ohlone Humane Society. Kelly called her back right away and informed her that they will close in the next few minutes, but I can bring the bird to her house. Took me 30 min to go from SR to Fremont - kept checking on the bird to make sure he was alive! Kelly was able to remove the bird from the trap in just about a minute. The bird was ready to fly away but Kelly said she will keep him for 2-3 weeks or until he grows his feather back and then release him. I am soo glad Kelly called us back right away; she was his only hope. Thank you Kelly for going out of your way to save the little guy!

There are people at all different speeds and abilities on this team, so I didn't have to be a former record holder in order to fit in. And just as important, I have made so many friends on the team. We encourage each other to get to the pool when we don't feel like it, and once there continue to push each other to get a good work out in, whatever that looks like for each of us. The best part is there is a lot of laughing and support for each other along the way. I don't want to forget to mention the setting. We swim in an outdoor pool set at 80 degrees, with tall evergreens surrounding us. Depending on the time slot chosen and the season, the sun may be rising or setting, the moon can sitting overhead, or clear blue skies are everywhere you look, or not too infrequently, a quick time out might be taken to look at the rainbow on the horizon. The serenity this opportunity to swim outside with such wonderful people creates balance in my life. I schedule the rest of my life around swimming with my teammates each night. There are three different time slots during which a person can swim and there is even room for more times if the need arises. Come and join the best secret in town if you like to exercise in the water.

I must leave this review because I need to put this information out there. This is a good foodbank…read morethat provides people good groceries once a month, per person/household. However, there are some volunteers whose behavior, while not vile, is questionable enough that I need to share. For whatever reason, the two women who take turns at the front desk have been quite unwelcoming to me. One of them denied me service, because I had come to late in her opinion. I had come 30 minutes before closing time. Surely that's enough time for one more person to receive groceries, but I guess she didn't want to stay there another minute. The entire time I was in line, I could hear this woman talking to the other volunteers about the time, and how it was almost 3PM (closing time). I thought that was very rude of her. I don't appreciate the unwelcoming behavior, especially since I didn't do anything wrong; I had come within operating hours. Now the second woman, always greets people very kindly, and with a smile at that. But whenever it's my turn, her face and voice turn cold. She always asks me to back up and doesn't smile and make small talk like she does with everyone else. I don't expect or demand ANY volunteer or employee of any establishment to "be nice to me", but the fact that it's always me that is singled out is mildly hurtful. I just don't understand why I am treated differently. I have never disrespected any volunteer there or hassled them.

They give them snacks and free time with puzzles and out door equipment while they wait for the daily activity. With the equipment they have they work well with the children. If you walk in on a random day you may see teenagers gazing at a wall, these are volunteers, there to fulfill their community service requirements. I have met a few volunteers that are great with the kids and excited to work with them, but for the most part they just sit there, which is not the staff's fault. My favorite activity that they do is music class, where a couple of volunteers come with bubbles, tambourines and music to sing and dance with the children, everyone has so much fun! Ms. Campbell, one of the directors is the absolute sweetest woman I have ever met, who deals so well with the children and their behaviors.

I remember it being a way more human experience and receiving a cart that had actual food in it. Oftentimes, we would receive close to expiry bakery items from local grocery stores, yogurts, donated little caesars pizzas,canned goods,boxed dry goods,and even things like milk or chicken. My mom was able to make meals out of a lot of the stuff she received back then. Now, coming as an adult, I was a bit surprised and saddened to see that things have greatly changed. At most, you are looking at getting some questionable quality vegetables and maybe a can of tomato sauce or big bag of walnuts. I know beggars can't be choosers, but I honestly don't know what to do with items like this so I've stopped going because for me personally, it is not worth it. If you really need food, like actual food that will sustain you or something that requires less 'cooking' because you are disabled or homeless (or both), I don't recommend coming here. I'd suggest seeking help from a local church or other organization.

They do two main drives: the Back to School Drive & the Holiday Wish Drive. What is great is that they accept kids of all ages, so there's no restriction on who can volunteer. The Back to School Drive helps children/students receive brand new backpacks filled with school supplies. You can work at their warehouse in August (be ready to sign up quick once registration opens because the spots go quickly) or you can help out at their office. For the Holiday Drive, they help get gifts to people in need in the Bay Area. This is a really fun event to do with friends and family. It's so cool to see all the toys, and the FGT process is very easy to understand. Would recommend this place for everyone in the Milpitas/Fremont/SJ area since it's close by.

I came from a rough background, a harsh childhood but that never prevented my parents to teach and discipline me. and to show me that a little compassion goes a long way. Due to restriction at work, I wasn't able to promote this drive but thank to Beth L., Craig M., Cristal C., Noelle J., and one of my coworkers for making this drive successful. I collected quite a few backpacks and felt good that we helped a few families. The evening I decided it was time to drop the backpacks filled w/ school supplies off, I was amazed to see the generous hearts that was there before me; I saw huge piles and piles of backpacks... I'm not there to help everyone because realistically I can't but if I can make someone smile and not have to worry about the expenses of getting a backpack and school supplies then it's definitely worth it. Donations and volunteerism isn't just during the holidays. Do what you can. Help others.

I dragged my friend along and went to try our hand at some bingo. The game options, pricing, and people were great. People playing, and also the hosts were very helpful in answering questions. Once the game started going is when I realized things weren't quite right. I noticed the people that were calling were also playing... and winning! Now I have never ever seen anyone calling and playing at the same bingo session... Big faux pas in the world of bingo as far as I'm concerned. And when I say "winning", I mean that one of these callers won $1600 in one night. If that's not shady I don't know what is! The hosts would also serve certain tables first before others, and seemed to ignore people at times. I would have liked a little more organization and making all pull-tab games available to all people. As much as I love bingo... I will be avoiding this place.
