My family has been using using SECOR off and on for 4 years. We have always had a very pleasant…read moreexperience. The workers are always so nice and caring.....UNTIL TODAY. My wife went there this afternoon and was treated very rudely. They were extremely picky and judgemental about us. Just because we are underemployed does not mean that we do not need to feed our animals. What are we supposed to do ? Get rid of them. My wife filed out the financial form the best that she could, just like she has for 4 years. However, this particular worker felt an extra $300 in the budget disqualified us. However, if they would have listened they would have found out that $300 belongs to our foster daughter and cannot be used for our bills. I have been a member of Southeast Christian Church since 2005. But, I think it's time to look for another church. If this is how their 'ministry' treats people, then I don't wish to be a part of this.

I believe this is a very wonderful program its just not managed well. For months I have been giving…read morefinancial donations to this program. Recently I had a dealing with this charity and came to find out that they don't do a proper screening or process to "weed out abuse" by their recipients. When I found out there were parents abusing this program as they wasted the food given, they opted not to work so they would qualify to receive not only food but financial assistance with living costs and that these parents have a very expensive, over $450 a month, addiction to vodka. When I brought this information to Secore's attention, their employee's were extremely rude and screamed out at me that they didn't care about the facts they only cared about the children. Secore also provides psychological counseling but apparently you have to be willing to seek it. What I would have liked to see is for Secore to make a condition that the only way they would continue helping families with addictions is if they agreed to seek counseling. If the parents are really in need they would agree to anything to help their children. Unfortunately, Secore will continue giving these parents the means to purchase over $450 a month in vodka by providing them with means to support their family. If these parents were forced to feed their own children, it could save the parents life and give these children a much healthier home environment. If this happened with this one family, how many more parents are out there with addictions this charity supports? I cannot continue providing financial support to a charity that supports people who are undeserving of the benefits they receive. Charities are a privilege parents should receive only if they are willing to help themselves. I personally watched the family discussed here discard hundreds of dollars of food in only a 3 month period. They had far more than they consumed. It was extremely sickening to know I paid for some of that food.

I like that. It's hard to buy clothes when you can't try things on. The associate was not as attentive - I stood waiting to be rung up and was ignored. Then mumbling so I couldn't hear him. Goodwill associates are perkier. It's not that convenient a location so I'm not sure I'll frequent this place. But it helped while away my time.

Freedom Service Dogs rocks as an organization!!…read more They rescue dogs from shelters and custom train them to help people with a wide range of disabilities. I started out volunteering here because I wanted to take service dogs for visits to nursing homes. They also partner with a DU counseling MA to pair the students with a therapy dog. One amazing bi-product of this program is that a dog has to be *really* special to make it through the program and meet the requirements to become a therapy dog. As a result, they put lots of pups up for adoption that FSD has trained (at least house-broken and know a sit command) and have less of a likelihood to be aggressive towards other animals or towards people. The people that are involved in this organization are awesome, I strongly recommend getting involved as a volunteer, or checking them out the next time you want to adopt a dog :0)

My experience with Freedom Service Dogs was incredibly disappointing and, at times, emotionally…read moredifficult. I entered the program seeking support for PTSD and expected a trauma-informed environment. Instead, I experienced situations that felt triggering and did not feel supported when challenges came up. The structure of the program felt rigid, and there did not seem to be enough flexibility for someone actively working through trauma. The hardest part was being awarded a service dog and then having it taken away. That was not only upsetting, but it also felt destabilizing after investing emotionally in the process. I believe organizations working with PTSD should prioritize understanding, flexibility, and meeting clients where they are. That was not my experience here. I would encourage others to ask very specific questions about how PTSD is supported before committing to this program.

The mission here is to organize and ship over donated and excess medical supplies to hospitals in desperate need. Volunteering is also super straight forward and you can just do when you can. You get there and they give some quick information and then you dive into work. The nice thing is that you don't need to know about medical supplies since they've done a great job of categorizing and creating easy cheat sheets to figure out what to do. If you're looking for a way to get involved I highly recommend Project C.U.R.E. This would also be an ideal place to do some group volunteer work (work, church, social groups).

You offer vaccine appointments... but they only exist as clinics that rotate to various locations,…read morerather than having a dedicated location to provide such services outside of a clinic. You then ask us to create an account and fill out personal and pet info for this vaccine clinic. Then we have to make an appointment and wait for someone on your staff to manually update the appointment and approve us, to then only send out an email that talks about all of the clinics happening....NOT related to our appointment and share all the other locations NOT related to our appointment. Then we find out that our appointment that YOU approved is not even an appointment at all, and it's a First Come, First Served run of show where you then state we should expect to wait 60-90 minutes to get some shots. I'm a huge animal advocate, but your approach to handling this is completely stupid and a waste of our time. Here's a crazy idea... how about you offer those clinics to those who want to show up and stand in line with their pets for 60-90 minutes, and maybe also have a dedicated location for those who book actual appointments to get vaccines.
