Where I work at, we usually have an Annual Food Drive for the East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry,…read morehowever, due to the pandemic we had to stop, temporarily. I have always enjoyed taking donations to this organization. I see it like "neighbors helping neighbors." Everyone is always looking forward to this Annual Food Drive, hopefully, we are able to do the drive this year. The East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry, Inc. is one of my favorite places to donate and even shop. Everyone that works or volunteers here is super nice and extremely helpful. Every time I have been here, everyone is always smiling, and they are very happy to be able to help the community. The East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry helps families in the surrounding areas fight hunger, help with finances (especially in these tough times), and their basic human needs. Another thing that this organization does is the 5k run, which all the proceeds go to them to help families. You can have fun, network, and -bonus-Help families. They also let high school students volunteer either at the pantry or the warehouse. I believe this helps teenagers to be more caring and see the reality of what is happening around them, not everyone is so lucky to have food on their table every night. If that's not all, they were able to assist families of Fort Bend County during the pandemic. They helped with food, finances to pay for their monthly bills, and other things. They were able to be open all throughout the pandemic just to help families with was going on right now. If you feel happy to donate some perishables, just treat yourself and purchase something neat at their re-sale shop, which is actually steps away from the pantry. You can find all kinds of things in this shop -from antiques to newer things. You can also purchase unique gifts that you will not find anywhere else. You're not shopping just to shop; this money will also be helping families around the area. This is one of the places that we should be shopping at, instead of bigger stores. These types of places help families in need, schools, kids, etc. Sometimes we are too focused of what new things are going to be on store shelves to be the "cool" kid, but we forget that there are so many families that have lost everything. If you want to donate money, food, clothes, just anything, this is the place to donate. You can even volunteer to help at the pantry or warehouse. I always believe that when you help others, others will help you. From donating to shopping, you will be donating to help others in the community at this place. Another thing that will make you happy, you will see that someone is always smiling when you are there, either donating or shopping at the resale shop. Just visit this place, I promise you will be super happy to donate.

Place was very clean and organized. Mrs Taylor guided the painting party at a good pace, she was very patient and helpful with the kids. The space is great for maybe 10-15 kids. After painting the space became the party room where we ate chips and pizza. They have spring and summer break camps as well as music lessons such as the violin. Would definitely recommend this place for a fun painting party!

On April 11, I adopted a very sweet brown tabby cat through the organization, PetsAlive. I named…read moremy new cat Theodore and was told that Theo had been found on the streets and had recently had scabies, eye surgery and skin issues - all of which seemed to be healing nicely. I was never told of his extensive dental disease or that he had feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). I noticed that Theo's energy level seemed a little low, but he was eating very well and didn't display any signs of digestive issues. I DID notice that his breath was very smelly, so I took him to my veterinarian. The long story made short is that Theo will have to have several teeth extracted and his length and quality of life could be affected because bloodwork showed that he is positive for FIV. I have requested that PetsAlive take care of the dental issues Theo has since I can't afford thousands of dollars for teeth to be extracted. My concern of permanently returning Theo to PetsAlive is that his cycle of being an unwanted rescue cat will continue. His life could be one of going from adoption site to adoption site and never being adopted because of his bad teeth and FIV diagnosis. Please be aware that, according to my veterinarian, there are several no kill shelters that DON'T test animals for FIV or leukemia. Before you adopt an animal, please ask if the animal has been thoroughly tested for diseases that could affect the animal's health and wellbeing.

My wife was needing surgery for her cancer and we were there waiting for that. Unfortunately the surgery got canceled and we had to go back home. Also it's very very unfortunate that so many people are needing this type of environment and support for the situations they're in and the availability to get back into the Ballard House after the hospital rescheduled her surgery was mute. No vacancies. It's so sad that SO many people are hurting and need this service. Unfortunately I'm recommending The Ballard House for anyone who needs it because it's a wonderful place to stay. I say unfortunately because I'm in need of a place to stay for the next two weeks and I'm having to look elsewhere than the Ballard House to stay. Love this place and the Volunteers are a God sent.

I even saw a pair of Tory Burch Sandals on the selling for for $9.99 (not 50% off though). This place is really big and has a kids section as well. All the clothing is colorized and there is a fitting room and public restroom for your convenience. Overall, a great shopping experience, and the workers are really friendly as well. Lots of parking too, and conveniently located off Hwy 6.
