“Nice indoor pool area, had a splash park for the littles, a nice 8+ lane lap pool, and a “wellness pool.” The wellness pool was warmer water and had two submerged stationary bikes. Very unique! It is meant to be a calmer experience. Children and families were playing in there too, which wasn’t a problem.”
“My shul. When I'm there, it feels like I am surrounded by family, as my family must have davened 60 or 70 years ago. They are welcoming, kind, attentive, & truly care about everyone who contacts them & comes to worship.”
“this place is amazing, I see them work l the time and they take all there time preparing ! They work really hard 24/7 for meetings, and they not only host events but they also help out nature which is a huge part of their work! - I have a lot of fun coming over and see all you’re new ideas, you’re working on .sincerely- Alisson Mejía Hernández !yes the real one ?”

“I was here in 1995 or 1996, my biological father was here in the 60s or 70s. So were my brothers. This place was great when I was there. I was like 6 or 7. I remember them taking us to six flags, camping and I remember them giving us a bunch of gifts for christmas. Father Smith was very kind to the children, and I remember us going to Indian grove school. I remember the ziggy building, all that. This was over 30 years ago. The Jordan family came and adopted me and gave me a beautiful childhood. I keep in touch with them to this day as they are my family. They came to pick me up from Maryville. Ill never forget Scott, Tawanda, David, Bonnie, and that one office manager with the golden retriever puppy. This place kept me safe until I was adopted. Im so glad they're still helping children that dont have families.”
“A ton of well-organized interesting finds.Hint would be if you do see something that you think you like I would go ahead and purchase it for the low price because of left even overnight it might be gone the next day...”
“Ms. Isis Sanchez...thank you so much for all you've done and continue to do for my family. And her I'd Terrell thank you as well for your time and kindness helping us get shelter and helping me get to important places. I'll never forget what you all have done for me and my family.Sincerely; Muhammad-Talley family”
“A very friendly and welcoming crowd. I feel safe there as proper social distancing and mask wearing is practiced by all. I will be returning frequently and will likely find a sponsor there in short order. One day at a time, easy does it!”
