“The staff is very friendly. Everything was clean. It felt nice to be around people going through the same things as you. They had darts outside basketball hoop play ground area for kids inside and out. This place is a safe haven and I hope this stays around for many many years.”
“Staff are family, so kind and genuinely care. Poetry workshop was a blast and love buying from the storefront gift shop. When Milton passed away they held me in my silent mourning and gave me an outlet to celebrate him in a quiet atmosphere. The other people at open studio honored my heart by sharing stories and letting me share Milton's. Forever grateful for the healing that happens here at off-center.”
“The group and instructors were all so kind, accommodating, friendly and caring. I'm so thankful to have been shown this place. They worked with the Rio Grande Down Syndrome Association so we'll. I'm glad their understanding hearts are around.”
“Was doing community service here after getting a speeding ticket. This was a really good choice as the regular volunteers who were working here are the best. Everyone here is a volunteer making a difference in so many people’s lives. To the people who live on the streets God’s Warehouse provides a safe place to eat a hot meal.”
“I love this church I have been going now for a little bit. The pastor is amazing and down to earth and his son as well I just got baptized there and recommended it”
“They share with the Unitarian church and a Muslim worship center. All three get along well with each other, and have their own separate time for worship. All three denominations are well run.”
“Art Walk @OT Circus, was excellent. Like 30 vendors, live painting and a band. And a gallery opening. All chill. All peace. Folks have a lot of respect for Victoria. And for the opportunities that she makes available. Lots good face ² face conversation too. Very nice.”
“I referred anybody to this place. My son was here all the people here in this place including Eric is a good man. He’s there for his clients and the community. He really cares about what’s going on at La Placita‘s. Eric is always willing to help anybody get sober and talk to somebody that’s going through problems no matter what if you’re having any type of problem or substance abuse drug drugs anything you could think of what’s going on with them in your life contact La Placita”
“The staff take the safety of the children in their care very seriously which is very much appreciated. Everyone I've interacted with has been kind and the staff seem to genuinely enjoy working with the kiddos.”
“Brought some donations here and the lady who took our bags was so kind! I had never been there before and she told me they don't charge kids for the clothes and they supply them with outfits, shoes, and school supplies... that made my heart happy. They were so grateful for the donations and wished me a blessed day. Will be coming back here and recommending this place to everyone!”
“We love the people and the accomodations they had and the facility was very CLEAN!! One thing did stick out. Not much color or art. I'm an artist, me and my daughter paint murals, so we are very familiar with colors and art and how they can be medicine for your soul♥️ I stayed 40 days last year at the other location and I recall no art in the rooms. Once I went back home, I forgot that it was something I wanted to push for. For the families to come. One positive painting of positive images or words can go a long way.I left MaKayla(?) my number if interested we could paint inside on walls or look into a theme for canvas.”
“I really enjoy this center I look forward to every Thursday for peace Cafe I really wish they weren't going to end the Peace Cafe next year but I guess they don't like helping the homeless as much as they pretend they do on another note every Saturday they do a food drive from 930 to 11 am I really look forward to this”
“Best place to do dropoff in the city. They give you water, very professional and make sure you are in your way as quickly as possible. I will always support this foundation.”

“This community has a special place in my heart. After a huge conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ nearly 25 years ago, I spent nearly 1.5 years here. Abbott Joel Garner and the community of priests and brothers welcomed me with open arms. It quickly became clear that I was not able to discern the priesthood, but the community let me stay for over a year. I had spiritual direction and psychological counseling during that year. The community never asked for a dime, and they even let me keep my two dogs here. I became good friends with a brother here, and we ended up spending a lot of time together. (RIP Dennis, and thank you for taking me under your wing and supporting me.) More recently, I returned for a private retreat in one of the new hermitages, St. Norbert's hermitage! It was a great 8 days. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seriously looking to get away in silence, with daily Mass and prayer. I'll attach some pictures I took during my retreat.”
“My name is Larry Gonzales I never made it there but I got the opportunity to work with the staff in mdc and I'm greatful for all they do for us. Thank you Janessa”

“Los Poblanos Fields, Open Space was nice, I checked it out to get an idea, I will be hiking it this coming weekend, walking the land cost nothing. They do have parking. I didn't get to see the Maze at this time. But what caught my eye was a very huge tree that sits on the land, and it is awesome looking. The branches look like a tree trunk themselves.”
“Attended The 2025 Summer Folklórico Dance Recital. This space is a real gem of Albuquerque. The stage is nice and visible from the entire theater, there isn’t a bad seat in the house! Sound quality is great. Plenty of parking.”

“This is the German American Club. It is private, but you can go with a member or join ($45/year). It's got a cozy little bar that is fully stocked, and they have social events as well. Membership is open to everyone. The decor reminds me of Oktoberfest. The building has a large reception hall and kitchen facilities as well.”

People may judge and I judge them worthy for they have done many things for their fellow man.....can anyone say that about themselves?”
