“Thank goodness someone recommended Elder Werks to me! I am not at all kidding when I say they found me two brilliant facilities I would not have found on my own! My contact Tamera was always responsive, compassionate, and just great to talk to. This is a fantastic service with fantastic people and its all free! If it seems to good to be true... well in this case, it is true! They are the real deal!”
“For a minimal effort and a fun event, you can help starving people around the globe. This is a very worthwhile charity- I try to do it every time the opportunity arises.”
“Casa hosted my aunt's 90th birthday party for around 100 people. They were so accomodating, and made my aunt feel like a princess - tiara and all. The space was very homey, and Casa arranged the catering, photographers, and musician. My family has been going to events at their beautiful grounds for at least 60 years. There always seems to be some type of festive event going on. It is a hidden gem.”
“Thank you so much for the box I received from your organization. The thought and care that went in to each item was wonderful and so thoughtful. Thank you for all you do for everyone.”
“My experience here was amazing. Everyone is very supportive and informative in what resources there are. They really care, are compassionate, and check in on you during your journey and after. I can say I don't know where I would've been without their support and am thankful for everything they helped me through. This is a wonderful place.”

“American Legion is an amazing facility. It is a small venue, but you always have large amounts of fun there whenever you enter those doors. I have been there since August of last year for wrestling events with a friend of mine and we enjoy it every single time we go. There is never a dull moment and the people there are always incredibly nice and kind.”
“I was here for the As Good as Gold Gala. The venue was great. Easy parking, big drive up drop off area. Spacious bathrooms. The service and facility was pretty and very well maintained.”
“What a great facility! A little confusing on the check in…. I think you need to check in before you shop. I don’t really know. I’ve been here a few times and each time, I find cool things for my classroom. Lately, I’ve need stem stuff for an afterschool club and scarce has not disappointed with options or ideas. Thank you.”
“Highly recommend if you are interested in developing your psychic abilities and trusting your intuition or just meeting likeminded people. I’m Very grateful to have found this place. Great people and great classes”
“We are appreciated to this organization, especially to Christine, Monika and Tina. These women helped my family with temporary housing, to find place for rent. It took some time but helped us, and all your staff was kind to us. Thanks! Also we've got some food from their food pantry.”
“Hello,The people that volunteer are so kind and NEVER make you feel bad for requesting help..I barely have any teeth left, do certain items are hard for me to eatCan I suggest something like that be added to the list you fill out when you arrive?I was given Italian bread and some sort of bread in a ball shape, lol. They turned hard in one day, do I wasn't able to eat it.There's might be others in the same position as me that are too embarrassed to mention it.I'm not complaining ar all. You are a life savor.”
“Nice place. We were in the room behind the bar room for Knights of Columbus dinner.8/27/22 steak & chicken cookout with the Knights of Columbus. A great deal for a complete steak meal! Only $20 for a strip steak & it included dessert & coffee.”
“I had a wonderful visit to the Theosophical Society in America. After watching so many of their videos on Youtube it was very fulfilling to finally enjoy the grounds, visit the library, and watch a presentation in the auditorium. I so enjoyed the kind people I met and the positive intent I found throughout this visit. I'll definitely be back!”
“I love, love, love, LOOOOOOOOVE this place and even more, the fact that the WINGS program even exists! The ONLIEST reason I rate 4 stars instead of 5 is because they close so darn early, and I can't always get there on the weekends to shop. They used to be open until 6pm during the week, and IDK what happened to that. :(”
“Super friendly staff. It is a little small but organized and everything they put out is in good condition. You can't beat the prices! I love this thrift store. It is definitely a favorite of mine!”
“Since 1988, I've experienced profound generosity and wrap-around social services with resources to meet every need of my family! I've never met better stewards of goodness.”
“The TheosoFest Was A Great Experience Once Again to Rub Shoulders With Others Who Are Investigating The Wonders of The Universe. Thank YOU Theosophical Society of America for Hosting THIS Forum.Playground: It Is Attached to The School.Restrooms: Yes. Indoors for Visitors.”
“I have been working with Amrit and Faith for roughly a month or two now and have only positive things to say about both! I worked with a therapist years ago and it was such a terrible experience that I never thought I would try it again. After getting to my lowest mental health point, I knew it was time to reach out for help and so I did but was very nervous due to my previous experience. Both Amrit and Faith have made me feel hopeful, heard, and treated me with nothing but kindness, respect, and care. I finally feel I am on track to my best self and I owe them so much credit. They are giving me the tools I need to get through this and to continue on a good path. The clinic was also understanding of my recent back surgery and was able to accommodate me with having tele visits with both! I would HIGHLY recommend them.”
“Very nice, clean club with caring and welcoming membership. Lots of meetings! Great place to look to if you need a meeting but your schedule keeps you from attending at the popular meeting times like weekday evenings and weekend mornings.”
“Nice and genuine people.Everyone is very helpful and kind. I go there on every Monday and Wednesday. It's really fun and new learnings. Hats off to their work”

“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!”
“This place is warm and welcoming. My friends and i will often hit McDonald's for a bite. Then the legion for a beer and a few spins on the machines. The car show is awesome as well. Totally worth a pop in”

“Well lit parking lot and plenty of parking during the early hours of the weekend and for evening adult events. Little library is located outside office area. Nestled in a residential area, very nice and safe. The rec center is very easy to maneuver through. Handicap accessable doors into lobby.”
“I love this therapy place so much. MyTherapist was the best, very much had a lot of trust in her I always looked forward to therapy. The reception people are so nice I always got candy from them, and one day I did get to pick out some skincare they were giving away for the holidays. I sometimes didn’t go which was the reason I got dropped since of course there were other people waiting to be attended. Kenneth Young Center was definitely a 10/10 service they’re super kind. I am hoping to get back with Kenneth Young Center since my parents do think I need therapy again but I would go back in a heartbeat I’m forever grateful for the staff. And my therapist she’s the sweetest and gave me beautiful advice.”
