Was cleaner than I expected. Ice people, food wasn't great but it's a soup kitchen. Nothing was stale or mouldy

My tenant started contacting Camillus House in Miami for rental assistance back in 11/2024. Both the tenant and landlord provided all needed documents in a timely fashion in multiple rounds. However, the communication from Camillus House was always blurry. They always told us the case would be processed in a couple of weeks and nothing happened in the next a couple of months. When we contacted them again, the same thing happened. They kept asking for new documents. However, once the new document was provided and they just stopped communication. It seems that this Camillus House does NOT really want to provide assistance but merely stays in business so that the staff get paid by the donated money. I would like to share my story so that others can get a better picture of this organization. read more

I had the pleasure to volunteer my team at Camillus House with my team from work and I have to admit it was one of the most fulfilling experiences I've ever had. We visited the ground in the days leading up to Thanksgiving so we helps Chef B and his kitchen staff bag lunches with sandwiches, cookies and chips. We cleaned the kitchen. We organized the spices and condiments closet. We fried chicken for the lunch of the day. It was an amazing day! I encourage everyone to take time out of their busy day to volunteer in your local communities. It just overwhelms your body with a sense of humbleness and thankfulness for everything you have. They have a small team and are always looking for volunteers. Join as a family or as a team from work. You won't regret it! read more

Yo estoy tan frustrada con este problema que no puedo creer la pesadilla que estoy viviendo. Yo les pido ayuda en este caso y quiero hacerlo público para que paren los fraudes y las injusticias a dueños de propiedades que solo perdemos dinero , tiempo , y por eso ya no se puede creer en nadie ni en agencias sin fines sin lucros @camillus_house NO DONEN MÁS QUE TODO ES UN FRAUDE. @camillus_house I have this bad story to tell you so that you do not believe that everything is real , this is really happening to me right now as a business i own several properties which I rent to plan 8 and to people who need help, I made a contract with Camillus house @camillus_house in April 2024 through Chelsea Gaidwood because a tenant Dalayja Williams told me that she did not have the funds to move but she had this agency that paid her the first month, the last month and the deposit to move to my property, which I have done before with other non-profit agencies and I have never had this problem, Mrs. Chelsea Gaidwood guaranteed me that it was a 2 to 5 week process to receive payment and I innocently to help this Williams woman with 4 children I let her move to my property since she had nowhere to live to be able to help it turns out that the @camillus_house agency has been since April and we are in August without paying me what was agreed in the contract and I have had to remove the tenant Williams from the property causing vandalism, without paying me rent and she has lived there since May, June and July that she simply left my property and no one has paid me a single cent with this I tell you how @camillus_house is going to sign a payment agreement with me and not pay me anything, where are the donations that you yourselves make, where does the money that you yourselves donate so honestly go?

Camillus House - Quit Fuckin Beeping and keep my Ice Cream nice and cold. - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Miami, Florida

I had to give one star because there's no option for 0 ..the front desk staff here at Camillus House is honestly the RUDEST I've ever experienced, which is a shame for the type of service they're supposed to be offering the community. I have visited over a dozen times now for help with a state ID and to use the computers from time to time before I gained employment. It seems the loud/troublemakers are honored much more than those of us who come in and kindly comply to their rules and regulations. Favoritism is highly shown here (it's all about who you know) so you will get little to no help if they don't know your face. This kind of service (or lack of) is actually motivation for me to push even harder to make sure I'm never in a position to need help from or visit this facility again. read more

Very helpful staff and very appreciative for the donation of clothes and housewares. Made it very easy to drop off and gives a tax receipt. A very worthwhile charity. read more
