My senior friends numbering 8 to 12 members play mahjongg at Community House and have been coming…read morehere for years. This year we have been asked to move to the foyer or to whatever room may be available as they rely on rentals for these rooms. We agreed and we have been playing where they tell us to go. We pay $2.00 and now are asked to sign in and pay the fee. Additionally, we always were given water and coffee, and are now told that would no longer receive free water or coffee. When several of our members complained about this, a call was made to one of our members that we were rude to their staff, and they are not going to put up with this. I believe The Community House is ignoring the elderly in their community and are actually forcing us out of this venue in favor of younger members. Why else deprive us of free water.

We all worked hard as a team to accomplish our goal of feeding over 2,700 families. This place is outstanding. Very clean and organized. I enjoyed lending my time for such an amazing and precious organization. I look forward to volunteering here again.

Plenty of parking and there is only one stall for EV charging. Inside you are greeted and checking-in is easy. They have you gather inside a locker area where you will have to put in small lockers your personal items before you get dressed appropriately. I was dressed in a plastic apron and gloves for onion packaging. This was a very fun event to help out. I would come back to volunteer again.

My daughter attended kindercare for a year, long story short we had quite a TERRIBLE experience…read morethere for many reasons, we ended up searching and touring daycares for months with no success, until last min we came across la petite in elmhurst. upon touring the first time, we were geeeted by tatiana who greeted us with such a genuine bright beautiful welcoming smile and cheerfulness, right at the door we felt a great sense of being welcomed and a big sense of genuine interest in our concerns from beginning to end of the tour everyone was friendly, and the atmosphere was very bright versus the other daycares we had toured in the past felt very dark and gloomy. we toured again another two times with the SAME exact experience every time. One of the time my daughters teacher actually came out to meet my daughter and my daughter danced with that teacher! they both the teacher and my daughter interacted so effortlessly and comfortably it made me feel so comfortable and confident knowing that I could trust them to love and care for her just as I would. I can't express how much gratitude and gratefulness I have for this daycare. They accommodated her feeding tube with such ease and gracefulness. I am Very thankful. The difference between this daycare and her previous daycare at kindercare are light night and day. Fem the second you walk through the door to the min you are checking g your child out for the day. The live stream is just a bonus to this daycare which i can access at any time throughout the day! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DAYCARE to any parents who take their child's well being seriously. It's already hard enough to live in times where we have no choice but to entrust our babies in others care to be able to work is such a life shattering thing, but la petite has seriously made it so much easier for me to be able to go to work with the confisence and comfort of knowing she is being loved genuinely and cared for on a level I haven't never experienced in the past.

Let's say that that the truth for them then perhaps expand your business to an area where you don't have so many elitist. Where young families are starting out and can get comfortable, quality and yes a little worn furniture at a resonable price. This just isn't a one off with me look at some of the other responses. Never again will I donate anything to such and ungrateful organization. Last thing, let say that they have to use such discretion because they would have more furniture than they could store. Well anything that's been there more than 3 month have a free day where needy families in the community could go to and get help. In other word be creative and not so selective.

But after recently learning of this non-profit organization called Sharing Connections, those lazy days are over. A fantastic organization that does so much good in the community. Sharing Connections provides furniture and household items for low-income families, helping them make their houses or apartments feel like homes. Most of these families are coping with a major crisis such as domestic violence, homelessness, job loss, or a financial crisis. This is an opportunity for community members to show gratitude for their own blessings by helping someone who could use a little extra help. Because they respect the dignity of the families they serve, they want to give them furniture they'd be proud to have in their homes. This means that they only accept items that have been gently used. Items that are not soiled or broken. I recently assembled dressers that were provided by financial donations to Sharing Connections. A great way for anyone to spend their time. There are lots of ways to help. --your money, your unused belongings, or even just your time.

They offer multiple afterschool programs, tutoring, leadership conferences, groups for kids of all different interests to join, work trips, etc. If you have children in middle school or highschool in the southwest suburbs, check out CEP and find out if there's something of interest for your child. If you're an adult and are interested in volunteering, this is really an outstanding organization to be a part of. CEP has helped many young teens and made on impact on many lives, including my own. I will be a part of CEP for as long as it will have me!

I have been involved as an adult leader for both the junior high and high school leadership programs and helped out with their after school program. Though they are a pretty small organization they do GREAT BIG things for the teens in the area. I wish I could transplant a few more CEP's throughout the state. Job well done CEP!

My work often donates excess supplies and furniture to Project Cure to avoid surplus items going to landfill. Their organization mostly runs off donations and volunteer help. My team volunteered for 3 hours in the "pre-sort" area where were divided items up into bags based on expiration dates. From there, "final sort" goes through a more detailed sorting process before items are packaged and loaded onto trucks. Our time flew by but seeing our group of 6 empty three palette of boxes was so rewarding. I highly recommend looking into this organization and the amazing work they do. I hope to volunteer again soon!

My group spend 3 hours in pre-sort, sorting items by expiration date. It was wonderful to see so many items that otherwise would end up in landfills be given a second chance to hopefully save or improve lives. It costs $20,000 to deliver a crate to a country in need, so if you are unable to donate your time, any kind of monetary donation also goes a long way. I will happily be back to volunteer in the future!
