Sheridan House has been a blessing for my family and myself. I belong to the single women’s ministry, where I have met lovely ladies, studied, listen to Lecture, shopped with and shared dinner. I also belong to the food ministry where I pick up groceries twice a month. I can’t begin to think Sheridan House for all they have done for us.
As a single mom this place has been a life-line for our family. I have been part of the single mom's ministry for at least 6 years and have raised 4 children through the program. Talk about volunteers, this place has an unending supply of them, both male and female. I have always felt welcomed and have been greeted with a smile. I have been here thru two different coordinators and now the program even has an assistant. Both coordinators and the assistant always take time to talk with you, give you a smile, and encourage you. I think you get back what you put out. Be active and participate in what is being offered and you reap all the benefits.
The program does unbelievable things for our families!! They have a back-to-school bash where each child receives a back-pack filled with numerous school supplies, a Thanksgiving outreach where we receive an abundance of food and get to shop till we drop in the boutique, at Christmas they set-up a toy store for us to be able to choose Christmas gifts for each of our children, twice a month we get boxes of food from Trader Joe's and Starbucks, etc. Now they even have housing on the property for some single moms. They even have a staff person that is constantly writing grant requests for the single mom's ministry.
My children know how important this program has been in our survival over the years. I thank God for each and every person that makes it all possible!
If you are struggling and need help reach out to Amy or Molly. They will help you!
I wouldn't know how to begin to say thank you for all that Sheridan House has done to improve the quality of life for myself and for my three children. From amazing food received through pantry - much of which is generously donated by Trader Joes and Publix to free training sessions and clothing. The material blessings at Thanksgiving and Christmas made all the difference in the world. Last, but not least - when my car truly died, they were able to help me obtain one through their donation program. That is just the "stuff" part. Now for the truly important part: I was not a Christian when they accepted me into the program and never pushed but rather led by example and allowed me to reopen the door to having a relationship with God and with Jesus. There are no words to express how truly grateful I am to Sheridan and those who have dedicated their lives to help others. Thank you!
A friend gave me information about this program, and when I signed up I felt at some point I was begging for help, Amy the coordinator has this fake smile and acts nice but it’s all lies, you have to be wise and know who people really are by how they speak and actions, I am very disappointed in the way this program works, if your in deep down hardship this is not the place for you, these people have their preferences, I had to quit the program after compliments from my family about why are they giving you guys expired food with mold, I complained and Amy told me I can quit the program which I did want eventually, and when I did quit the program she replied to me like I never existed. I complained about her behavior and the guy above her back her action up the whole time. These people are worldly people who just work to be fake and get a check sadly. I don’t do reviews but when you have God in the midst of the lies They need to be exposed.
Here are some photos of activities at the summer camp at Sheridan House. The summer camp allows kids to get used to the schedule. The focus is on CHOICES. Kids are not compelled to do anything. If they CHOOSE to do the work that is assigned, then they get points. If the kids choose NOT to do the work, then they lose points. Good attitude = more points. I benefited from this type of boarding school/living situation with chores and eating at a table with adults. The system should be copied ... and the management encourages others to use their methods. I highly recommend this system for teenagers. Why not learn more about Sheridan House? The photos with this review include the race cars that the boys building, the fabulous GOLIATH GAUNTLET that is oversubscribed (nearly impossible to sign up!) and raises funds for the House, and a shot of some medals that my nephew earned. BRAVO, Sheridan House. (I agree with Lashonda, another reviewer, who mentions the helpful "parenting classes" that we attend 30 times a year).
The teenager in the Sheridan House program has grown from the feedback that he received from the staff and other students. This program should be duplicated.
