“This is a great museum for Catholics and Knights of Columbus members. Make time to come here when your in the New Haven it does close at 4pm. Also it's a FREE museum .”
“I had a great time at MakeHaven's pen-making and intro to blacksmithing classes.
The instructors were great and very patient even when I got stuck at some steps.
In both classes, you almost immediately dive right into things. It's very hands-on and I much prefer that way of teaching over others.
I highly recommend their classes and you don't need a membership to go to them.
In case anyone else is wondering how to enter the building, you need to go to the entrance on Chapel St, then call the MakeHaven space using the little digital box outside and ask to be let in.”
“Chapel Haven enabled us to see how much independence (a lot) our son, Andy could achieve. They were never defensive when we challenged their assumptions, nor did they push back on our ideas. Just the opposite, they showed Andy (and us) how independent he could be: Living in a non affiliated apartment/condo, working at Home Depot, commuting back and forth including home completely independently. We no longer have to worry what happens to him if (hopefully) he outlives us.
He recently went with a group and climbed Mt Kilimanjaro without any staff from Chapel Haven nor us (his parents).That’s independence and his self worth has increased geometrically as well. None of this we could have dreamed of when Andy graduated from our high school.”
“We had a wonderful experience adopting our newest family member from Animal Haven. We went to meet Gunner and knew right away we wanted to take him home with us.
Angelina brought him out to meet and play with us. She was super helpful and answered all our questions.
Ava handled our application. She was so kind and helpful. She communicated well with us during the whole process.
You can tell the staff and volunteers all care deeply about the animals and they all are well cared for.”
“I was told about how fab the food is here. It actually is and I have heard Isa is a great chef. His client speaks so well of his brisket and chicken Parm. I have the chicken Parm today. Again, I'll have the chicken Parm.”
“Participating in the Lifestyle Change program has given me the education, the resources, the accountability and support I need to reach my goals. Although I’m only halfway through the program, I am confident that the Monitor My Health approach will continue to inspire and motivate me to stick with it and achieve success! Dr. Wade and Kate also make it fun!”
“My daughter Nalani needed something less instrusive after starring as the Little Mermaid at her school. This camp allowed her to enjoy her summer and get her comfortable for the stage without too much pressure. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM.”
“New haven reads has helped my daughter so much!! Myself and her teachers all notice a huge improvement in her reading. Thank you so much New Haven reads for all that you do!!Highly recommended.”

“Excellent art school for adults and children in New Haven, offering classes in painting, pottery, printmaking, book arts, metal working, drawing, photography and more, at all levels of experience and skill. The teachers are excellent; they are predominately working artists who eagerly and compassionately share their experience and skills with beginning to advanced students. I highly recommend CAW.”
“I had a quick and easy experience here adopting my kitten. They set up a meet and greet and had my kitten spayed and at home with me in less than a week!

“The Wade! Its my home away from home for the last 9 years. I appreciate the staff, residents and families for being apart of The Mary Wade Home providing , assisting and growing as a community.”
“My daughters just finished their first week ever at Schooner Camp. They loved it! Each time I picked them up they were super excited to tell me about their day. They made me promise to sign them up again next year. I got to meet one counselor and my husband met others during drop off. All were very professional, nice and enthusiastic. Great experience!”
“These people are doing the best they can considering they service two communities that don't properly fund them. Ask the towns they work for why they don't have a new building and more officers on staff? Its a shame and a sad situation for the animals.”
“Can someone here tell me if the mortgage loans offered with them have a lower interest rate than the market? What would be the pro of getting their help, and having a conventional loan? if I am a moderate income person. thank you”

“Very happy for my Vash worker Hurenia Davis moving on up and her special surprise. She helped me tremendously. Thank you , you'll be missed . Thanks to all actually !XoXo .”
“I dropped off several bags of clothes, and Joe was a great help. He met us at the door and insisted on taking the bags from our car even though we tried taking them to the door for him. He is an excellent asset to Goodwill, and I wanted to ensure he was recognized.”
“While there used to be a Salvation Army where I live (Vernon, now closed forever), I know there are still other stores like these scattered all over CT.
I trekked to Hamden earlier this year and when I went here, they had some cool stuff.
I found a couple of good things that I liked. The clothing selection is decent, book selections are a little iffy. There's literally so much space that could be used to keep merchandise in these areas. Service is really good.
I think this Salvation Army is better than other ones I've been to.”

“My wife is a member and wanted to share her experience with Soundview YMCA:
Review for Personal Training. I was going to wait to write this review until I reached my goal weight. However, I have gained such amazing results in such a short amount of time, I wanted to share my experience now.
I started personal training with Michael Ferrucci at YMCA Branford in April 2024. He took on a mess with me: cancer survivor, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and lots of weight to lose.
At the time of this review, I have lost 35 lbs, my blood pressure is now normal, I’m off insulin and off all other meds (all doctor approved). My recent blood work results showed an astounding improvement. This is the first time in my life that I have had this much success losing weight naturally. I have not used any weight loss drugs or injectables. I just visited my PCP for a checkup and she had nothing to say except keep up the great work.
Without a doubt, I would not be where I am now if I didn’t have an opportunity to work with Michael. He really cares about his clients, is patient, gives you his undivided attention while training and is mind-blowingly knowledgeable about all things related to personal training. His level of expertise is above and beyond. I feel beyond fortunate to have him as my trainer because all his knowledge and experience has resulted in life changing improvements to my health.”
“The people there were wonderful and caring! I've never felt so welcomed.. And could not be more appreciative and blessed with them for being there to help those in need!”
“Very nice people.Good service especially the bartender.Excellent atmosphere.John,the bingo caller,calls numbers too quickly.That's why people refrain in buying more specials.”
