I would not recommend this place the case worker they gave me didn’t help me with anything didn’t talk to me even ask how my children & I are doing the lady who makes the food can be very rude & nasty they don’t help you with anything

They were kind when I originally called them. They gave me hope. Then they found out that I was a father with a 16 year old son. Everything changed then. They kept telling me that they were trying. I found out from another agency that my son was top old for them to decide to try to help. Although I was recovering from a stroke and my son is autistic. It didn't matter to them. Stay away from these people.

I love the opportunities they have and how they give love and careness to not only "families" but "children"!
