Elizabeth House Pasadena

I moved into Elizabeth House March 1997 ! I gave birth to my son Joseph a few days after I arrived at this program ! I am not a Christian I am an Irish Roman Catholic well at the time I at least I was.. the only issue that I had is I felt that they should have respected My views and opinions on religion and not force their own Christian beliefs on me by going to church once a week bible study and other Christian involved classes and programs ! I appreciate Elizabeth house taking me in and giving me a place to live when I was in a crisis situation ! Elizabeth House one of the things I do notice is that they don't really keep in contact that often with the former residents ! I have done so much since I've left Elizabeth House by starting my very own Homeless organization with my late mother who passed away 6 years ago ! I know the set when I notified Elizabeth house about the passing of my grandmother and also of my mother never got a call back never acknowledge the passing I know that Elizabeth house was very much involved with my life and my family during the time of my stay ! I just really sad did Elizabeth House really has shown a lot of support for the things that I've done ever since I left.. I don't really keep in contact with anybody that much the only person that I had a lot of respect for that really helped me was my mentor Kathy Bishop and Rebecca wanted the house of mothers

Wanted to donate all my squishmallows that have been stored away in plushie bags. Was recommended to donate here through the fire department but sadly seems like no one can accept plushies even if they haven't been used only stored away. Really wanted to donate to a non-profit to children that may need them but now I'm forced to donate them to for profit locations

Wish I read the one star reviews before now. I would have donated my sons clothing to a more professional and appreciative organization. I agree with others that it is hard to reach someone and receive timely responses for those considering donating. The person in charge of donations always seems in a rush to get off the phone as well. I specifically donated to this organization based on the cause, as I had many bags (5 full bags to be exact) of very nice baby clothing and shoes that were basically like new. It’s now been over a month and I have yet to receive donation receipt, which they claim would be sent via mail or possibly email. I am also not a local resident of the area. It’s terrible the way our world and so called organizations operate nowadays. No such thing as professionalism, courtesy, or customer service anymore. I later drove back to Elizabeth's House to further inquire about my receipt and encountered that majority of donated items are picked up and sent to a local thrift store called ACTS Thrift Store. A staff from the thrift store comes to load up a pick up truck.
