Every year we make sure to donate and The Road Home is a local charity that provides shelter and…read moreclothing to people who need assistance. It makes us happy knowing we can make a positive impact on people's lives by donating our gently used clothes and shoes. Parking is easy and the people who work at the front desk and donation collections area are helpful. There is another location in Salt Lake City so we were grateful to discover this location too so that we can help more folks. Consider this location when you are looking for a local charity to donate!

If that were to stop, I am glad that there is a place for me to go to be safe, warmed, and cared for. If you are one who is reading this for possibly donating to a good cause, I HIGHLY recommend The Road Home.

There are a few staff members running the show who are well organized, but many volunteers helping to serve the meals. They rely on donations and support from the community and use what they have in stock to put together meals for the community. I saw a lot of respect for individuals and thoughtful interactions while I was there. Great place and a worthwhile cause.

When my shift was over, I found myself pouting a little because I wasn't ready to leave. I could sort food all day!

If you're looking for a worthy cause to donate food, money or time to, this is a good one to consider.

You have to concede, first and foremost, that they are doing a nearly impossible job here, and they…read morehave almost zero budget. They're taking on a massive task to help the homeless population in Salt Lake City, and they're doing the very very best they can with not nearly the resources that such a problem would require. So ya, I can see that there are some real problems and some monumental challenges, but I can also see that they are, indeed, doing good. They are probably most known for being a soup kitchen and homeless shelter, but they are really so much more than that. I've been involved, off and on, with the Rescue Mission for several years now and I've come to learn just a little more about what they do. Yes, they do serve a dinner at night, and I've seen how they stretch each donation into enough food for a massive lineup of men (this is primarily a men's shelter) and turn out some really nice meals. They do a massive Easter meal at Pioneer Park and this year I helped prep for that. They serve thousands and we helped to cut up fruits and veggies--apparently a group of girls beat us to the fun job of peeling potatoes... darn! The shelter is barebones. It's basically an empty room and they have bed rolls. Those who need emergency shelter sleep nearly shoulder to shoulder. In addition to these services, though, they are helping in addiction recovery. I've met people in their program who have gotten sober and are working the steps to stay that way, find employment, and put their lives back together. It's a faith-based program, as is the basis of all they do here, so if you go to help volunteer for the dinner hour, you'll first get to participate in their non-denominational worship service, which is run by different volunteer clergy from all over SLC. I've seen Baptists, Catholics, and other churches come in to lead the services. It's an impossible task. It can be heartbreaking to volunteer here, but it can also make your heart explode with hope and gratitude. I've seen some of the most selfless and authentic service and expressions of hope not from people who attended here to volunteer, but by some of the beneficiaries of the service. Me, you, anyone -- we're one firing, car accident, health complication, or bad decision away from needing the help of programs like these. It's hard, it can be gritty, and it can be painstakingly slow or seemingly impossible, but I'm glad there are good hearted people to help. Here's my plug: they're always in need of volunteers, of donations of food or clothing, or just good, plain ol' fashioned money. You can visit their website and see what they currently need, and you can always make a financial contribution or give an evening of your time to help out.

It has now been another year with my son at St. John's CCDC and, if anything, my opinion of the…read moreschool has improved. He has "graduated" from the tiny kids room (12-18 mos.) to the Hoppers (18-24 mos.), then Crickets (24-~30 mos.), and now Fireflies (30-36 mos.). I was initially quite hesitant to agree to the Firefly room, as it is a small space with limited outside light (and no toilet!) set up for a few kids who were 30+ months and potty trained. As initially pitched to me, they were putting him there because they were "over-capacity" in the other rooms. Booooo! (Turns out, that is not a helpful selling point for any reasonably [fine, over]protective parent who understandably will object to putting her kidlet in what appears to be a sub-standard space so others can get the "good" room.) BUT IT HAS BEEN THE BEST THING EVER. He loves his tight-knit group of five Firefly friends and he loves the teacher (Ms. Alexandria) about as much as he does me. He has thrived in the small class atmosphere, which is full of all the art and nature and learning a little boy could want. He also still gets the benefit of the bigger classroom through visits to the Caterpillars (36-48 mos.) and has even been able to go on neighborhood walks and field trips with his little buddies. He is transitioning full time into the Caterpillars soon, as his third birthday is next week. The teachers there are already handling the transition perfectly by reaching out to include him as much as possible. Seriously, I love them. If there were ten stars, St. John's would have all of them.
