The staff take such great care and love for the animals that are there.

Speak to the staff and volunteers about which animal might be the best fit for you!

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this facility. I decided to adopt a kitten, which turned into two…read morenew kittens, and I spent a lot of time searching for what I hoped would be the best fit for both of us. I wanted to adopt long hair kittens and when I found a pair of long hair siblings on their site, I clicked on their "Adopt Me" buttons. I filled out the 2 page application online and went through their phone interview on Friday. I had to get certificates to prove my other pets are current on their vaccinations. Finally I set an in-person appointment for Monday. (They only take appointments and no public walk-ins at this time.) I called on Saturday to confirm my appointment for Monday which was scheduled for noon, which is the time they open. When I spoke with their employee they, once again, verified my information and then told me that the siblings I applied to adopt had just gone home together with their new family.They offered to let me come over on Monday to see who else might be available. Why did my applications ask for the names of the kittens I wanted to adopt if they weren't planning to hold them at least through my appointment time? How does this happen when they're "by appointment only"? Was anyone going to call and let me know before I drove 80 miles on Monday? (When I asked this question, she said they would not have called.) It makes no sense. There should be a disclaimer on the website saying that confirmed appointments and specific pet applications do not guarantee you'll receive the pet/s you're applying for. So--Beware. When you click "adopt ME" , you're really just going through hoops to be approved for an appointment to adopt from that particular days available pets. It's a classic "bait and switch." I'm sure there are plenty of fantastic pets available, but I researched, clicked "adopt ME", and entered their names on the application for a pair of brothers because they were the ones I wanted to adopt. I wish they were more upfront regarding this practice- in this age of technology, it should not be difficult to place a "pending adoption"notice in the pet's file. It takes effort to get to the appointment setting stage so it doesn't seem there'd be a lot of people getting approved and then skipping their adoption appointments.

Hubs picked up some cookies for our daughter and her family from here that were supposed to be…read moreHalloween themed. Primarily, frosted with the shapes of ghosts and some with sprinkles shaped like candy corns. This store is maybe seven miles from our home, and these cookies were not packed/boxed well to travel and retain their decorations. The ghosts were ridiculous looking and the sprinkle candy corn shapes were executed with zero thought - despite the travel, they were just executed badly. Hubs sent them photos of the cookies (the box all six cookies were in was sealed with a sticker when he picked them up) and the store set him up with four replacement cookies. I thought this was a great, kind gesture! Hopefully Cookie Fix will fix their packaging issues and will correct their design problems. Thanks Cookie Fix, for making good on your product satisfaction!

So many Great ones! Go try it!!

POPCORN! More POPCORN! That's what you'll see when you walk into the Popcorn Pantry. I have an…read moreobsession with popcorn. I could eat it every day and sometimes I just have popcorn for dinner. I needed a massive amount of popcorn for a party and I didn't want to make it myself or rent a machine or buy just store popcorn and then I remembered driving by this place. So I stopped in and they have HUGE bins of popcorn. Lots of different flavors too. And you can get SAMPLES of them to pick what you want. I talked with the girl working alone in there and asked if they did bulk popcorn and they do! They have different bags to choose from and she helped me figure out how much I would need. I couldn't leave without some popcorn for myself so I picked a couple of flavors and got some small bags to go. Let's talk packaging. This girl had those bags stuffed FULL. I doubted she was going to get the twist tie on it. So no wasted space in these bags. You get well over your money's worth. Came back the next day to pick up my fresh popped popcorn and it was a hit at my party. Love this place.

I started volunteering at Open Hand Atlanta around last year. There's multiple jobs you can…read morevolunteer for such as meal packing, food delivery, administration assistant, etc. It's a very easy process, all you do is sign up online on their website. Upon showing up at the facility, you will sign in on a computer then if you are brand new you will have a short class before volunteering so you can learn what to wear and what not, put on gloves, aprons and beard mask so you can prevent from hair contaminating the food in the kitchen. I usually volunteer for the meal packing position where you will be packing meals for about 2 hours for people who have dietary restrictions or just people in need. I find this a great opportunity to give back to our community. This company really relies on volunteers helping in the kitchen and they truly appreciate everything. They also have group sign up options so you can volunteer with your school, church group or work event. Anyways I definitely recommend for you to check it out! :)

My wife and I visited Open Hand Atlanta to volunteer our time for a couple of hours to prep meals…read more Open Hand provides nutritional meals for those with chronic diseases, such as AIDS/HIV, different forms of cancer, etc. These nutritional meals promote and prolong healthier way of life. Once you arrive and sign in, you'll be taken to a waiting room area, where Open Hand staff gives you a rundown of their history and what their mission is. You also get the rules of the prep room and are gifted a one of a kind hairnet, plastic apron, and men with facial hair gets face masks. No jewelry may be at any time. Rings, necklaces, earrings, facial piercings, watches, etc. can NOT be worn. There are different things that you can do at this space, but I wanted to do meal prep. We washed our hands and grabbed plastic gloves. Keep in mind, the gloves are different sizes. The meal prep was like an assembly line. The meal we prepped was Beef Stroganoff on Noodles with Green Beans. With a scale, the first person weighed the appropriate number for the noodles, the second person weighed the right number of beef stroganoff, and the third person weighed the right number for green beans. There is then a fourth person who wipes off any excess food from around the rim of the food container. This is important so the plastic cover will seal appropriately. It's then put in this contraption that holds multiple containers and a person press seals it and puts it to the side. This is definitely quite a process, but once you get into the flow of it, it becomes easier. Some people make it a challenge against another group to see who can make the most meals. Side note: THIS PLACE IS FREEZING! The ENTIRE BUILDING IS COLD! Bring a jacket or hoody. Overall, this is a great place to come with a group or by yourself and do some charitable services. Fortunately, we came with a large group of my wife's coworkers, so we were able to knock out over 2,500 meals which was awesome! I'd definitely come back.

Yeah a couple tents, but you had to wait forever to get a bite, just like you did for an ounce of bad wine. Nearly all the "wine" was gone by 7 pm (end time was 8). Total waste of 125$.
