Manager Response

Unsure if this organization is still active. The website link goes to the Google search home page. Their Facebook page no longer exists/works. When I went to the national website, there is no location in Grand Rapids.

The organization's website has a link to a court document that the CEO and Head of Finance were embezzling. https://elncgr.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ELNC-Summons-and-Complaint-final.pdf . This org no longer looks to be active.

This is an event run by Gilda's Club, which already has a proflie on this domain that we have going through our review/recommendation process: https://www.volunteerwestmichigan.org/agency/detail/?agency_id=62302 We would suggest they use this primary org profile to post opportunities for their general org as well as any event they host.

Based on their current profile, this is a service provided by the local fire department. Do not believe that this specific program is looking for public volunteers.

Based on a page on their website (https://textbooks.wmisd.org/the-books.html), this project was funded from 2014-2017. The website still works, but I don't believe this is still active given that it doesn't talk about anything beyond the 2016/2017 school year.

Facebook profile is still active for this organization but websites are not active. Looks like they really only do courtesy posts now on there. The organization faced numerous criminal complaints regarding animals in their care and had to surrender all wolf dogs in their care back in 2023.

Their Facebook is only active once every year or two and it hasn't posted since Feb 2024. The website linked in their Facebook profile doesn't work (403 Forbidden message) and their Facebook posts don't really talk about volunteering. It's just promoting some workshops or podcasts it looks like. Based on this, I don't think this org should still be on this site.

This organization merged with Gentiva Hospice, which already has a profile on this domain that is going through our review/recommendation process (https://www.volunteerwestmichigan.org/agency/detail/?agency_id=62298).

This org has needs posted on their profile, but we can't confirm that this specific office is still open/active? Their current address doesn't pull up Corewell Health when you look at that on Google. On their website, this address is not listed for any of their offices. Can't find their current contact listed on the Corewell Health site or online to confirm they're still with Corewell Health. Unsure how to handle putting together a profile review for this org given the questions surrounding their location.

This org is now known as Corewell Health. Their current address doesn't pull up Corewell Health when you look at that on Google. On their website, this address is not listed for any of their offices. Unsure how to handle putting together a profile review for this org given the questions surrounding their location.

Can't find an active website or active social media accounts for this organization. The Facebook listed on their current profile hasn't been active since October 2017.

The State Games of America occurred in Michigan in 2017 in partnership with West Michigan Sports Complex. This year, the State Games of America is happening in San Diego. It doesn't look like the profile has been updated since that 2017 event so this profile should be removed from the site.

Mel Trotter Ministries purchased the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in July 2023 (https://www.meltrotter.org/mel-trotter-ministries-purchases-building-on-south-division-allowing-for-the-expansion-of-its-thrift-operations-and-support-services-to-the-community/) St. Vincent de Paul no longer operate a thrift store in this community and Mel Trotter Ministries already has another profile on this domain so this one should be able to be made inactive on this site.

Africa's Child Thrift Store appears to be closed. Facebook hasn't been updated since January 2023 and when doing a Google search, Google says it's "Permanently Closed".

This is a service provided by the Hope Foundation, which already has a profile on this site and is going through our review/recommendation process (https://www.volunteerwestmichigan.org/agency/detail/?agency_id=62349).

This is a profile that talks about a partnership between the City of Grand Rapids Traffic Safety and Greater Grand Rapids Bicycle Coalition about collecting data on how are bikeways and trails are used. The website on their current profile no longer works and so I believe this data project is no longer active. Separately, Greater Grand Rapids Bicycle Coalition has a profile already on this domain (https://www.volunteerwestmichigan.org/agency/detail/?agency_id=103640) so wondering if it would have made sense to consolidate on that profile if it were still active.

Unable to verify if this business still exists. The website on their current profile no longer works and we can't find any active social media pages for this org. Google also says this org is "Permanently Closed".

Don't believe this org is still active. The website on their current profile doesn't work anymore and the only website we can find is a squaresite for donating. Their Facebook on their current profile has been inactive since 2022.

Can't find an active website or active social media accounts for this organization. Doesn't look like this org is still active given the lack of online presence.

Based on their current profile, this is a for-profit company promoting their business. It appears to be a for-profit apartment complex that offers HUD housing. Do not see any volunteer opportunities.

Urban Roots has been closed since 2020. Instagram page confirms that this organization is no longer in operation.

Unable to verify that the organization still exists. The Facebook page on their current profile hasn't been updated since 2021 & the website link on their current profile doesn't work anymore. Can't find any other active socials or website for this org.

This is a profile that's towards a specific program under this organization. YWCA West Central Michigan already has a profile on this domain (https://www.volunteerwestmichigan.org/agency/detail/?agency_id=62547). That profile is already going through our review/recommendation process. We think any volunteering under this program should be included under the general profile because they can explain the program in the opportunity posting itself and the program-specific profile doesn't talk about this program in its blurbs anyway.
