A few testimonials and letters we received from our clients.
Hello,
When I was out of work and didn't have the funds to buy myself food, Reaching-Out Community Services was there for me. You all kept me fed in a time when food and support were scarce in my life, and I cannot thank you all enough. While I am still rebuilding my life, I'd like to take the little extra I have now and give it back to the pantry program. Is there something I could donate or purchase for the program that would be more helpful than bringing cans of food? Are there certain foodstuffs that "go farther" than others that would be appreciated?
Thank you for all you do. Sincerely, Caroline from Sunset Park

Dear Mr. Neve
I like to thank you and your wonderful staff for helping me in my toughest times. I'm alone and have no family so the help I get from your organization is a real blessing.
Thank you for all you do.

Dear Reaching-Out,
Words can not express my gratitude for helping me in my time of struggle.
As a senior, I live off a small social security income, and I can hardly pay my rent.
The food stamps I receive would never get me through the month and there were times
I went without meals just to make sure I can have enough food for the month. The food pantry has helped me greatly, I just want you to know that this program makes a great difference to me and I'm sure so many the need a helping hand. Thank you, thank you and all that help me at your program, I like you to know that the staff there are very kind and make me feel so welcomed. Thank you again.
Grateful, Mrs. Mary M,

Mr. Neve
I like to mention to you that the women who does the food stamps services is so pleasant and so helpful to me. I'm so pleased to know you process food stamps at you office. I believe the person that assist me was Jenny, so patient and kind.
It is such a great relief not to have to go to the HRA office, I have spent over 5 hours there and was treated with such disrespect. It's not that I even want to be on food stamps, but I have no other choice right now until I can secure another job. At my age of 55, its hard to find work, I keep on hoping I will one day. But I just wanted to thank you and your staff personally. Thank God for all of you and the hard work you do for others.
Sincerely, Margaret S.
