“This organization attracts so much volunteers because of their amazing mission statement. No body does more exotic trips and events for the special needs community than centers. I mean come on international trips, Disney world, concerts, constant care and love. Everyone can learn from them!”

“Oorah is one of those organizations that you can feel the impact of the second you walk in the door. There’s a real sense of purpose — like everyone there is on a mission, but still with that warm, heimish “you matter” vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away.
What stands out most is the heart. Whether you’re dealing with staff, volunteers, or just calling with a question, you’re treated with patience and respect. No attitude, no rushing you off the phone, just genuine menschlichkeit. It’s clear they care deeply about Klal Yisroel and about helping families in a real, practical way — not just big words and nice brochures.
And honestly, the work they do is massive. Between their programming, outreach, and everything they’re involved in, you can tell this isn’t a “small side thing.” It’s organized, professional, and run with a level of integrity that’s refreshing. The place feels well-managed, and the whole experience gives you confidence that your time, support, or involvement is going to something meaningful.
Bottom line: Oorah is the kind of organization that makes you proud. Big-hearted, well-run, and truly making a difference — the kind of place you’re happy to recommend to anyone looking for real community impact with real warmth.”

“YMCA of Freehold is clean, nice and friendly. Their personnel is polite, and helpful and I find it quieter than other clubs or gyms. I love the track field upstairs is pretty cool.”
