CityTeam Ministries does amazing work for the community!…read more A large group from my work had the opportunity last week to help prepare food for the homeless. We received a tour of the facility but spent most of the time in the kitchen area. Our group helped make sandwiches, crack eggs, cut potatoes, and cut fruit. Victor helped train us in food prep...he said he normally does it himself if no groups come out to volunteer. I could tell that the staff there really has a passion for helping the community. I can't wait to go back.... It was such a rewarding experience....

Your website says that the minimum age for sandwich seva is 5 years and above…read more Reading that, I brought my 5 year old and 9 year old son for sandwich seva today (3 July). But some volunteer spoke very rudely to us and told the minimum age is 12 and above. This was a very bad experience for us and not at all what we expect from a place where Sai Baba is worshipped. Can you please fix your website to reflect what the correct minimum age should be - is it 5 or 12? I don't want any other family to experience what we did.

Space is big and kirtan pleasant. Big kitchen with Prasad aka simple pure vegetarian meals provided. In India I spent time in Ujjain and central India off the beaten path. I met a Sadhu aka wandering holy man who gave me a business card of Sai Baba of Shirdi's main temple in India. I never went yet perhaps that was a predication to scope out the Sai Baba of Shirdi temples in the Bay Area years later. Apparently Thurs is the day to come here where thousands of people are here every Thurs.

This is a Review about Saturday Volunteer Food Drive/Food Distribution @ Santa Teresa Parish. I…read morevolunteered 9/25/21 for 4 hours. The Food Distribution is from Noon - 2pm. They ARE in urgent need of Volunteers. FYI - It's hard work, by no means a walk in the park, if you're actually there to work. They ask Volunteers to arrive early/ at 10am to Check-In & help set up the Food Distribution tables, but many people show up around 11am/11:15am purposely avoiding the hard work that's actually "required" (setting up/breaking down food distribution stations, un-boxing Produce, Meat, Juice, Milk...re-stocking/re-filling tables & food stations) so the boxes are ready to be loaded into Cars for families. Work/Volunteer distribution doesn't seem to have the uniform/standard --"Please arrive early..to help" rule/request for all. I did my 4 hours..of Volunteer time, emailed the lady in charge 9/30/2021 a "Thanks for your time..won't be returning.." note. She never read/responded to my email. Instead I'm still being sent "We're urgently in need of Volunteers" emails, end of January 2022. Yup, she's never read my email. I called her and left a message...she's never responded to my voicemail either. If you're a High School Student, College Student in need of logging/completing 40+ hours of Volunteer/Community Service time..please look to give your time to other Organizations. I wouldn't recommend volunteering here.

Thank you JW House for everything you have to offer to families of loved ones staying at the nearby…read morehospital. It can always be stressful and heartbreaking as a family member with a loved one staying at the hospital; esp if you are not from the area and driving back and forth isn't as easy as it seems. JW House offers rooms to stay, hot meals, a place to shower and overall, just a place for families to feel AT HOME and comfortable. A home away from home. I truly appreciate the time I got to spend here. I didn't stay a night but I did stay for a couple hours with my 6 month old to feed and to nap. It was for sure needed before the drive back home. I also stayed for dinner which was delightful. They also offer snacks, and if you have family members at bedside, you are more than welcome to pack them food to-go. They also have a huge backyard with a play area and a BBQ grill. I highly suggest going on their website to learn more about this amazing home away from home. It was built from love and you can see it radiate from the way this place is taken care of and from the volunteers. Thank you, JW House!

I want to be clear that I completely understand JW House has limited availability, uses a…read morereferral/waitlist process, and cannot guarantee a room. My disappointment is not that I wasn't guaranteed housing -- it's how little communication I received during the process. I started the process about a month before my scheduled surgery, worked with a social worker, completed everything that was asked of me, and followed up because I knew I needed to have lodging arranged ahead of time. Despite doing that, I did not receive any meaningful update about where I stood or what I should realistically expect. Then, only a couple of days before my surgery, I received a call asking additional questions and whether I was still interested. I said yes, but I was still told they could only let me know if a room became available. At that point, my surgery was days away. I was traveling for a medical procedure and simply could not responsibly wait until the last minute without knowing whether I would have somewhere to stay. Again, I understand that availability is limited and that JW House may not always be able to accommodate everyone. I would never fault an organization for not having a room. What was difficult was going through the process so far in advance, trying to follow up, and still being left without any clear communication until the final days before surgery. For someone already dealing with the physical and emotional stress of a serious medical procedure, that uncertainty added a tremendous amount of stress. If I had simply been told earlier, "We cannot guarantee anything and you should secure backup lodging now," I would have understood completely. Instead, I felt like I was left waiting until it was no longer realistic to do so. I ultimately had to make other arrangements. I genuinely think the mission of JW House is wonderful, and I hope the communication process can improve for future patients and families, because people seeking this kind of help are often already under an enormous amount of stress.

I only had 10 days and they knew that By a miracle, I was able to secure housing. It's frightening to go through this kind of thing. I hope others have better luck than I did going forward.

I figured it's not the time to do that due to this global outbreak so instead I had to get creative and figure out how I can help the community w/o causing a tremendous strain to my already busy schedule. I called and was thrilled they are able to accept prepared meals. I explained that I would cook everything the day of and deliver it w/in 2hrs. I did this in between emails, meetings, and reports but somehow got it done. This was 27 meals and a box of individually wrapped masks donated to this organization. I am so grateful that I am in the position to still be able to help. I also will never forget the times I didn't even have $12 for a pair of shoes for my son (Walmart). Whatever we went through.. it just made me want to help even more. Thank you for accepting this donation!
