“Feed My Starving Children is an incredibly well-organized volunteer organization. The packaging process for the manna packs was clearly explained, and there was ample assistance available for volunteers. It was a high-energy, fun, and team-oriented experience that lasted about an hour and a half. They are also kid-friendly, welcoming young children to participate. Our family had a fantastic time volunteering on Juneteenth. Highly recommended!”
“They were great and made all the families feel very welcome. I think I can speak for most everyone there how great it was. Also to find out what to do at Naval graduation and to pick up your new sailor from boot camp every morning. Also where to be at the airport to meet them when they fly out. Great to also meet other families.”

“I am very kind to all the people who work there. From the first day I visited, they offered me their services to those who are dedicated for free and are very professional, especially I thank Cynthia and Miguel for the help they gave us. Thank you, you are the best.”
“The reputation of the Patty Turner Center as the liveliest gathering spot on the North Shore is well- known. People come from multiple suburbs to attend the well- planned, outstanding programs and special events as well as the classes offered there. If I were asked to design a perfect center for creating a warm community, the PTC would serve as my template. I highly recommend it.”

“I wanted to start off this review by saying what The Spiritual Forum is, but where to start? What it is is limitless, really, with respect to the spiritual growth podcast listeners and in-person attendees can get from digging into it. Rev. Carol Saunders, a Unity Minister, started up and leads the weekly, Sunday morning forum. She takes a spiritual topic, puts framework and definition around it and then opens it up to discussion with those in attendance. I've always been used to Sunday church events where the minister presents a lesson at some length, so at first when listening to one of the Forum's podcasts, I felt I might be missing the lesson. But after listening to a few, things clicked, the lesson is there. In the topic presentation, in the perspective those attending bring to the discussion, in the self-inquiry Rev. Carol prompts by posing questions back in response and by the awareness that surfaces in me while openly listening to this all. The Spiritual Forum can be called an alternative to church, and that's not to say there isn't value in traditional Sunday Services. This is another platform and one that can reach a more vast audience. Some attendees have Unity backgrounds, others do not, it doesn't matter here, all are welcome. To an extent, spiritual development springboards from awakening, developing awareness and maintaining that awareness. The spiritual topics addressed in the forum are practical; they are ones that tie in with our daily lives. Forums like this are a rare find - I haven't come across anything similar to this yet. If you live in the area and can attend in person, check it out in person sometime - be a part of the positive energy there and take advantage of the opportunity to connect with others on the path.”

“Did you ever wonder what you can do to make a difference? I know I have. One of my passions since I was a child was Foster Care. I did a lot of research on that topic in college and wrote my undergraduate thesis on Foster Care. I always wanted to do something more... This year a wonderful movie came out, Instant Family. At the end of the movie, a link went up on the screen telling the audience that if they want to help a foster child to check out the link. That's how I found CASA and I am so lucky that I did. I remember walking into the building for the very first time for my interview with one of the trainers. I was nervous and excited, not knowing what to expect. On my drive back home, my friend called and asked me how the interview went. The first word that came into mind was inspiring. That's a strange word to describe an interview, but that was the one word that kept coming to mind every time I talked about it. We had 40 hours of intense training, split into twice a week sessions starting mid April. Living in Chicago, it was quite a long drive to get to Vernon Hills. However, after every session I felt blissfully happy and inspired. Mondays and Wednesday became my favorite days. The training sessions included videos, presentations, speakers and super interesting activities. We were put on an emotional rollercoaster and given tools to become the best advocates we could be. At the end of our 40 hour session, we were sworn in in-front of a judge and became official Court Appointed Special Advocates and assigned our first case. Thank you to the amazing staff at CASA Lake County who make a difference in people's lives. Thank you Debra for training me to become the best advocate I can be, Monica for becoming my advocate manager, Brendan for having me join Young Professionals Board; Margaret, Shannon, Elizabeth, Laura, Debby for being guest speakers and wonderful resources if we ever needed anything. Sherri for being so friendly when we went to visit court to observe. Of course, thank you Terri for managing this incredible organization for so many year. If you want to learn more about how you can help a child and have an unforgettable, one of a kind volunteer experience, you should check CASA Lake County out. I bet you won't be disappointed. :)”
“The goal here is to help the community. They go above and beyond to support other in all aspects of life. I have volunteered there a couple of times. It makes me feel like a good person. Everyone is always so cheerful and positive. Very good people supporting a great cause.”
“Such an amazingly fun place to visit and shop...the folks here go above and beyond...even as far as retrieving a large item that had been returned to their warehouse...wow!”
“We are currently working with Lisa and we got transferred from Across the World Adoption (as they lost their license). Lisa is amazing. She is very responsive, honest and patiently answers our questions. This is a day and night experience from our previous agency. We would highly recommend America World Adoption without any hesitation. Thank you Lisa.. and hope you continue doing this for everyone who is in this adoption Journey. You are truly a pleasure to work with.”

“Riverside has been home for my daughter for thirteen years. We love Riverside! The staff seem carefully chosen in their love, care, and respect for the residents. This is so important and comforting. And I love the nursing staff! Being a retired nurse, myself, I'm picky. They are terrific!”
“A wonderful shelter run by wonderful people! I adopted Tux the pigeon from the Refuge and he was so well taken care of and loved there, I almost felt bad taking him home with me! They make sure you know what you're getting yourself into before you can adopt, which I respect a great deal. Rich and Karen care deeply for all of their animals and give every single one nothing but the best.”

“Been reviewing the Goodwills in the area as I am new to thrifting and this one was huge! Very orderly and alot to choose from. I went on a Saturday too! Overall I was please at the prices and the amount of "Useful" items they had! Got some good deals. I will definitely be back. Good job as some of the other stores I have visited recently were not kept well and a bit junky. Took off 1 star for being a little cluttered without any staff organizing(would help), in some areas and having to purchase bags.”

“I wanted to share that I am beyond grateful for all of the help from the staff at the YWCA in Gurnee. Mrs. GINA went above and beyond to help me and to get my daycare center the information needed as quickly as possible. This woman loves her job and loves helping others. Everyone has been kind, but this woman went the extra mile during a few different interactions with her. Thank you! ?”
“Wonderful place except for the receptionists that work up front they treat people like the ground they walk on & will pick an argument with clients , then tell management the clients started it all .”

“I went there for a yelp event. it was calledneon night and it was a fundraiser. I have never been here prior to it nor was I familiar with it. It seems like a wonderful organization. You can donate books or money, and it helps children that don't have the means to buy books and you donate money or books, and it helps them. The CM of the North Shore suburbs Keisha and her assistant were kind enough to organize this.”
