Community Services/Non-Profits near Chesterton, IN

“This place has a lot of things from furniture to handyman things they also have a few tools. Everything is reasonably priced. And the staff is friendly and helpful.”

“We utilize the pre-k program at the ymca - we have repeated been impressed with the staff, level of education the kids are getting and the loving adults in their room. Easy transition into kindergarten. I utilize the track, and love the comradarie among the usual walkers. We have also utilized the summer camp - which is fantastic and the sports which is HIGHLY organized. Its busy but of course a beloved program will be.”

“I love this place…what it does for the community with its low prices and free coats to those in need.

Which is why I drove the extra 20 minutes to make a donation when I have several other donations centers nearer to me. I was met with a less than helpful attitude and talked to rather rudely. I now know that I can’t expect help and they won’t, unless I specifically ask. Fair enough! (I was told that after I complied with moving my donations to the top of the stairs). The “Karen” in me wants to just go to one of those places where they unload my car and even say “thank you for your donation” with future donations. At the end of the day, I’m sure no one cares about this other than me. Lol”

“After several visits and a few months I finally found my perfect dog thanks to thier patience. Everyone is wonderful there. You can foster a dog to see if it will work out, which is what I did.all dogs are spayed,neutered,microchips and all shots given. Tested for heartworm also.my dog did develope kennel cough, noticed couple days after adoption. They supplied me with antibiotics and cough pills. I'll end with nice visiting rooms and clean.”

“It's a bit run down. The track walls need to be repainted; not sure why it wasn't when they closed to repair and paint. One stationary bike has been broken for months; it's the only one that style. They "updated" their app but the only thing it's good for is your bar code to enter. No events, messages, calendar, or any way to contact them. When I asked when it would be complete, I was told "they're working in it". Also months ago. Why not keep the old app that worked while you create a better one? Staff regularly enters the track walking in the wrong direction, because they're headed to a classroom. But the classroom is accessible if you walk the right way too, or use another set of stairs. The public and children do this as well. Could be resolved with better signage and staff meetings. I've had several near collisions. It's the only facility with a walking track or I'd go to a different gym.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This summer was a great experience for my kids at the Boys and Girls Club! They had a lot of fun, stayed active, and made some great memories. I especially appreciated the flexibility of the drop-in option—it really helped with our busy schedule. I’m definitely hoping they offer the same next year. Highly recommend for any parents looking for a safe, fun, and affordable summer program!”

“As someone with autism and who has to find a way to get a job in a condition like this. It’s a great company for it and has helped me a lot to find a job. I would’ve said “no” back them to working at a school, in a school kitchen too like I do. Now I really like what I do and it was a nice surprise. They truly care about their clients and go out of their way for them and just about everyone I have dealt with there is truly professional and great. Highly recommended. These people would do anything for you and are great help. They’ll help you find ANYTHING you’re looking for. I mean it.”
