Our instructor was Rae Rodriguez, who is very knowledgeable on the subject, she is amazing, talented, patient, fun, all around wonderful teacher! My boyfriend and I walked away with two amazing pendants, and he said it was one of the coolest things we ever done! We will be coming back for more classes!”

“I have only had one experience 'inside' the building, where the kindest most sincere lady helped guide me through some quirky steps of processing into some helpful resources, when i was completely in the dark about how wonderfully comforting some available resources can be for us (in times when were not so well off). I have benefitted so well, that I AM compelled to give back when i have the chance.***Giving & Sharing, as random acts of kindness & generosity, to folks and outfits that make a difference for the community/families on up to even Global Issues of Nations... has shown me & countless others, I'm certain, A WHOLE NEW FORM OF LOVING AND REALLY CARING FOR EACH OTHER, no matter where we hail from.??Mountain Community Resources' FOOD SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAM (every Thursday 10:00 am- Noon) is something that everybody should experience. I simply have not seen a staff so dedicated in compassion & warmth of heart as this crew. Kinship is prevalent in their service, as well as with the participators attending the eventv.A 5-star rating to Mountain Community Resources and their elite staff of volunteers.Much Love, Appreciation, and Powerful Respect... I and a very unique and colorful SLV Community HAS FOR EACH ONE OF YOU. Thank you.???~Craig N.”

“A pretty nice thrift store ! Found what I needed quickly. They have a 50% off sale every 2nd Saturday ! Good stuff. Reasonable prices on most stuff. Fairly good quality items. They also have a return policy for store credit if your item doesn't work or has a problem. Great ! A great resource for the Santa Cruz area. When I need something, I always check Gray Bears first !”

“Wonderful! We had a lil baby hummingbird that fell and we thought he was dead so I called NAR and they told me to look at his eyes if they are moving/blinking at first they weren’t so I hung up all sad. Then about 30 minutes later I see him moving his head around! I called back again and they had someone come over to my work within 20 minutes! I was still sad and asked if they thought he was save able and she said they had great people there they could save him! Oh I was so happy. I asked if the y could call me with the outcome and she said they usually do! Thank you!”

“I've donated and shopped at Grey Bears for years and have always found great deals and some very nice things. The book store is immaculate and organized well. Kudos to all the workers who devote themselves to making it easy to find what you're looking for. I'm giving them 4 starts because of all the good Grey Bears does for the community but I truly feel they need to relocate to a bigger place. I've always found them to be bursting at the seams and would like to shop there more often but can rarely find parking. I can certainly understand why they have to limit people's donations of used items. I'm sorry to say that I've seen utter trash being dropped off by thoughtless people who should have taken those things straight to the landfill. No big surprise that they keep a trash dumpster right next to the donation area. Grey Bears should not have to be hauling off unusable discards to the dump because of careless donating.That said, although it has been a bit cumbersome at times to shop and donate items, Grey Bears remains a worthy organization doing the community a great service, and for that I'm grateful.”

“It's a Friday and I'm here when most people are at work. Despite the cold weather, the few people I have encountered make the place warm. I'm happy to see signs expressing openness to diversity. I was also glad to see a bookstore, something I know is dying in some if not most parts of the world.”

“Our daughter attended this school for almost four years until the pandemic happened. She went in as a timid child with some social anxiety after attending kindergarten at a public school. It didn't take long for her to open up and feel comfortable with in class presentations, group hiking and to develop clear communication skills. She was also introduced to daily meditation and violin playing. During the remote learning, the teachers began to offer online yoga classes and meditation circles for the kids to have as a supportive outlet. We wish it could last until her middle school years! As parents, we have found a supportive community and a great outlet for outdoor hiking trails. We love Tara Redwood!”

“Great place all around! They do so much more than you can ever imagine and are always looking for volunteers, from what I hear, as it states on the website. Volunteering for them has been wonderful. Not this specific district but overall with the Red Cross, they have been very kind to me. Definitely something to look into if you have any down time! Thanks ARC!”

“OSO is an amazing experience for children (and adults). The learning is in line with CA science standards of course, but the experience on the ocean and off is something that can’t be duplicated! Every student I have ever taken has loved it, being their favorite field trip ever.”

“It is a great place to receive help and find different programs to fulfill your needs. You can get medical help, housing or even help with recovery. It's really great the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there are drugs in the area and all the people around the area bring it down. If you're a recovering addict like myself and my husband it really tests you each and everyday. So if you're not really strong in your recovery then I would steer clear and if you are and are having a bad day stay away. If you're looking for that start or opportunity to change your life here is the best place to start.”
