“I've never donated blood before, so coming in I was quite nervous, but the ladies here did a wonderful job at making me feel comfortable.Mary helped me through the check-in process, answered all of my questions, and was very friendly. She assured me I was in good hands, and not to worry about anything.Once i went back to the donor area, they had plenty of goodies to keep my energy and hydration up while I waited. My wife was allowed to come back with me to the waiting area as well, and although she wasn't able to donate due to being anemic, they treated her with the same kindness as me.After waiting just a few minutes, my donor tech Joana called me back. She explained everything throughly, brought me some ice packs to keep my neck cool, and went over her experiences as a tech. I was very surprised at how well she performed the venipuncture since she had only been doing it for 2 years, and with this being her first job as a phlebotomy tech. I've had seasoned nurses stick me with 18 gauge needles where I almost passed out from the pain, but Joana was a pro, because I didn't feel it at all!As a seasoned phlebotomist and emt, I have to give this place cred, because it was the cleanest, most professional experience I've had in a while. As for the donation, I did feel a little weak afterwards, but they made sure I was safe, and that I sit for a while to rehydrate before leaving. I also had a small knot on my arm after I left, but I typically do that with larger bore needles, and it went away after using an ice pack. Overall it was a great experience, and I get to save a life in the process! I will definitely be back when my next appointment is due.”

“I scheduled a next day pickup for furniture we no longer needed, but which was still in good condition. The whole process was quick and straightforward. Fill out a quick form online, and get updates via email or text (we used text). Bradley and Jacob were our pickupteam, and they were amazing. They were earlier than scheduled which was perfectly fine (I was given notice when they were 40 minutes out), and were polite, friendly, professional, and efficient. I'll definitely use them again in the future!”

“I volunteered at Kids' Meals, Inc. by helping pack lunches for children ages 5 and under. We were told summer is the highest volume due to most kids being out of school - they are looking to provide 14,000 meals this year. They have 18 drivers in 56 zip codes in Houston - delivering meals 5 days a week.Some of you should consider giving back with your time at the very least - find a nonprofit that benefits our Houston community.M - F volunteer shifts 9 - 12 + 1230 - 230”

“This is a great art area, a community that was once almost deserted, but was revived by a few buddies with ideas. It’s really cool, and the staff are very enthusiastic. It just opened when we went there, and we visited every A house with great works on display. I like this place very much. I like Houston, a great, diverse, inclusive, modern, and infinitely charming city. Because of this place, I fall in love with Texas even more.”

“Awesome experience, went for the radiant nature light show at night and it was nothing short of impressive. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the fact that drinks and food were outrageously overpriced, but we expected this. Highly recommend this event and the gardens even though we have not experienced the gardens themselves during the day time.”

This proactive approach to accommodating their growing community is truly commendable.While the Houston Lambda Center caters to the LGBTQIA community, it warmly welcomes individuals from all walks of life. The inclusivity and acceptance fostered within the Center create an environment where everyone feels respected and supported. It's heartening to witness such a diverse and vibrant community coming together in pursuit of recovery and personal growth.One of my favorite features of the Center is the puzzle room. The large puzzle table and the desks with a bookcase at the back provide a peaceful and contemplative space. It offers a tranquil retreat where individuals can engage in the therapeutic process of completing puzzles while enjoying a sense of camaraderie with fellow attendees.In conclusion, the Houston Lambda Center is a true gem, offering a haven of support and recovery for individuals seeking solace and growth through 12-step programs.
