Reviews of A Wider Circle
"We visited for a volunteer opportunity. The staff was great, the facilities were very clean, and they offered quite a few services."
"Friendly, professional, and helpful staff from the moment we scheduled our appointment until the time we walked out the door. Everyone was all smiles and willing to assist. Thank you to the entire Wider Circle staff. You all make the world a better place. Till next time."
"It was a very pleasant experience. The two ladies who did my intake were most kind."
"We upgraded our bed/mattress to a bigger size and were pleasantly surprised that A Wider Circle takes mattress donations as many don't due to the risk of bed bugs, etc. I reached out via email and someone on their team got back to me quickly. They explained that pickups by their team can take a while due to demand and availability. Once I confirmed that we were willing to wait, they got back to me with date/time/logistics. Pickup from our apartment went smoothly and the team who came were friendly and professional. I am definitely keeping them high on my list of non-profits in the area that live up to their mission. Thank you for helping those in need!"
"Had my appointment today 2/25 I waited awhile to get an appointment but it was definitely worth it I got a lot of nice furniture and household supplies for me and my family we were in need.The staff was super friendly and they helped me a lot I really appreciate this organization and can’t thank them enough."
