“Barrios Unidos is doing something truly special for the community. Annie, together with Nane and the team, has created a music program that is welcoming, inspiring, and genuinely transformative.
I came in with no real ability to play, and through their guidance, encouragement, and the supportive environment they’ve built, I’ve grown to the point where I can now play solos in songs. That kind of progress speaks volumes about the quality of the program and the people behind it.
What makes this place stand out is that it’s open to anyone who wants to join a band—no ego, no barriers, just real opportunity and passion for music. It’s rare to find a space that combines community, mentorship, and creativity in such an authentic way.
Highly recommend to anyone who has ever wanted to play music, no matter where you’re starting from.”

“I was invited there for bingo. Didn't know what to expect, but the area was clean and well lit. Everyone was friendly and helpful. There was food there for sale, will definitely go again.”
“It's a great place to drop off unwanted furniture, clothes, electronics, and doodads. The brown bag deliveries they have once a week is a great service to the community and the volunteers are great to work with!”
“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.”
“This place is awesome. They even have a vegetarian option every day and you can get 2nds and 3rds. They do a great job of maintaining order among everyone and keeping everything clean and healthy.”
“Awesome people that leave you with your dignity intact. I believe the lady I worked with was named Jennifer or Jenny? Anyways she was a super kind human being and was great to work with!”
“I have been going through one of the most difficult and overwhelming times in my life, and this center and the staff have truly helped me more than anyone and anything. I am deeply grateful for this place.”
“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!”

“From the minute I arrived at New Life I felt like I was home. The staff are kind and compassionate, emitting a loving & encouraging energy that helps relieve the anxieties of abstinence. The clients are awesome too, it’s a very friendly & open atmosphere. Classes are helpful, food is good, and the location is great - 7mins walk to W. Cliff & the beach!”

“I am so glad that I found WPENS. Not only has it provided a wonderful preschool experience for my kids, but it's also connected me with the most caring and helpful community that I know I will be a part of and that will help my kids grow for many many years. My elder daughter attended 2020 - 2022 and not only did she love it, it also made the transition to TK super easy. My younger daughter is currently enrolled and it's been so fun to see her come out of her shell and form these amazing little friendships with her classmates over the last 4 months. These are definitely going to be friends for a long time. Teacher Cory is an absolute gem - both my children love her to pieces and she is the most caring and so good about focusing on the kids. Being part of a co-op is more work than a drop-off pre-school, but it's so fun to get to know all the kids, and also for our kids to get to have a whole community of parents that they know and trust.”
“Cute, cozy space with lots of information and resources for everyone, at any age. Tons of different events. Wonderful staff. I have gone a few times for yoga and had great experiences.”

“Thank you so much for doing all that you guys did for me & taylor. Most kind hearted people you will meet. Trying their hardest to make things work even with the most difficult of people they meet day in and day out. <3 god bless you.”
“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.”
“i've had trouble dropping off goodwill items at other donation centers in town -- sometimes they are too busy or seem annoyed by more stuff. this donation center is easy, convenient, and i've been treated with great customer service.”

“They went above and beyond to help me fix my bike, and not only did I pay WAY less than I would have had to anywhere else, but they guided me through all of the repairs too. Special shoutout to David who helped me and taught me everything- he was super patient and kind. Would totally recommend going here if you need any repairs or parts!”
