NSpire Outreach Review

I love the positive words that are given. It inspires you not to give up

Nspire Outreach is a great organization. It provides much needed services throughout Metro Atlanta to homeless and under-served populations while creating a way for their clients to return to being productive citizens regardless of their past history. Nspire addresses the needs of the whole person including mind, body and spirit thus creating a more last positive effect on those they serve. They encourage each client to take control and responsibility for their own life.

I was homeless with my 3 kids, staying in my car for hours living different places while its cold and things got so bad that i came across shelters that made us leave at certain times so basically we were still homeless..i cried and prayed to God everyday while my kids sleep in the backseat while in Walmart parking lot..I started to do internet search and came across Nspire..i gave them a call on a Tuesday and i was lucky thats the exact day that they do interviews but i called too late..but wait ..Pam heard my situation and said she will call me right back. .i held my phone praying. And less than 5 mins she called back and told me to be on my way..i came with the little gas i had.soon as i walked in the building i had a big relief for some reason,not knowing if they had space for us..i did my application and gave it Jerome,he did not judge me..my kids fell in love with him instantly ..he gave them candy and made us feel so welcomed..then came along Gregg ..he got the job done!..the apartment was not ready at the time but He made reservations at a nice nearby hotel ..we stayed over night..(we slept so good...in the HEAT)...woke up next morning. .went to apatment, meet the other weman who were also helpful and sweet..Jerome showed me around brought clean bedding,groceries, hygiene products etc. ..Now im working,kids in school and i can come home to a nice,warm healthy environment for my kids ..I THANK GOD FOR PUTTING KIND HEARTED LOVING CARING PEOPLE (GREGG..PAM..JEROME) IN THIS WORLD..if i wasnt for them i dont know where ill be..I love them..NSPIRE OUTREACH GETS 10stars from me **********

This organization came to my house the 2nd week of December I had my children's bike outside as usual weather was awesome and they took my kids bikes with out been label. My son had a from college and had left 2 printers on the stair in front of my house and that was taken. I called and file a complaint call millions of times and never got a call back. I see this organization been not a honest not even a courtesy call back. I always donate things to them but this they screw up big time. My kids don't have no bikes and that is very disappointed

How is that you call everyday asking for a donation. Then we get the stuff together put it out and you NEVER show up to pick it up. Then refuse to answer the phone or even take messages. If this even was a legit charity you'll never get anything from us again smh

I donated items once and now receive an onslaught of phone calls. I receive at least 4 calls per week, and sometimes I receive more than one per day. I have asked them to take my name off of their call list and I have emailed repeatedly requesting the same but nothing has changed. Their charity may be legitimate, but I will never donate to them again. They really need to learn how to treat their donors.

Our church has a recovery ministry and over seven years i have learned a lot about different recovery places, by far i can honestly say the BEST model is NSPIRE Outreach.They help their clients in every aspect to turn their lives around.GREAT JOB

You have everything with you. One thing you have to do is wake up put the effort to achieve what you have started this is a perfect program for someone turn around who's falling down and dust yourself off. And you alone on the solid glass

Nspire contacted me for donations. After several days of washing, sorting and bagging/boxing household items, clothes, toys etc and placing them in requested location, on the afternoon of the scheduled date, I received an email that collection was cancelled and they would return in about three weeks. I will not donate to this organization ever!!

My experience with the program was all nice until I decided to leave for personal reasons. The owner Greg Kennard trys to show he cares about u as long as he is in control of your life, but once u leave he shows his true colors. Once I left the program he instructed me that I could no long keep my job at the call center knowing I was a mother of two children. An once I requested a separation notice he listed that I quit my job. So my experience that they speak so highly on in the call center for the 6months of my stay will not\ can not be used on my resume. Be smart God lives in us all but some people use God jus to collect money. And once your no longer of any use to bringing in their money u will be ignored and disrespected. I'm sure you can find anywhere to call home but here isn't it.

Nspire does great work! They help people grow and recover from tough situations. Used clothes changing lives.

I have been homeless and in domestic situations with no help ...so i salute this organization for helping those in need!

Nspire is a REAL DEAL for helping REAL FOLKS with life!!

We make the decision to grow as individuals, but we take the journey of growth as a family. Nspire is a life changing experience, because it challenges old thought processes. There is some fun along the way, but a there's a time for everything.

Excellent program for individuals to get a new start.

Since coming to nspire I have gotten a mindset and I thank God for pastor Gregg and the wonderful staff that is there to help and all the resources we have for the opportunity to get a better life and with God I can honestly say that I am grateful all glory goes to God iam F.A.T faithful. Available. Teachable
Troy Vincent I just graduated from the nspire launch program on October 7 2018and now I'm in the life program this program is you get out of it what you put in I'm putting my all into the program God bless Pastor Gregg and sister Pam

This "non-profit" is really just a company that takes advantage of those wishing to help, as well as those who are in need. They harass you multiple time a days after you make a single donations. I've blocked every number they have called me from, but they are more persistent than the liquid terminator. This is the only time I've felt a need to write a review about any company. The are a bunch of leeches masquerading as christians to get your clothing/property to sell for a profit. Nspire outreach only inspires me to block the 10+ phone numbers they have harassed me from. If they didn't hide behind being a non-profit christian organization, I would file charges for harassment immediately.

I believe that this organization does so much to help lost and broken people and I believe the critics should find ways to aid this organization in meeting the standards of the BBB and whoever feels they are not up to par I have stopped by for Sunday morning service and I have been well pleased with the ministry and success stories of the members of the program

This is a very DISAPPOINTING non-profit org. I've had 3 donation pick-ups scheduled that were NO-SHOWS. I'm gathering & sorting nice things to help others and they are unable to receive it because this org does not do what they say. A waste of time, effort and intent.

Constantly spams my phone asking for donations long after I told them to remove me from their call list. Based on that along with multiple investigations into their shady use of donations/funding I will never donate to this group again.

Great ministry. Love your daily words of encouragement, and how you help those in need.

Greg and his wife Pam have homeless people living in a 2 bedroom apartments and 4 people to each apartments!! He make 100,000 dollars a month of these people!! I feel sorry for the women because if u don't have no kids or your kids or grown!! U got to be bother all those kids in a 2 bedroom apartments!! My homegirl don't have no kids but she is in a apartments with 7 people!! She can,t get no rest!! She hurry up and left that place!! Greg using God name to make money off homeless people!!! Greg fired miss Judy and she was 64 years old!! Fool is Devil!!!

Friendly people who picked up my donations. Fast responses.

Nspire Is a place that is genuine about those who have fell in the trap of addiction and homelessness and can get you back on your way to a productive life or career.

I have been contributing to this program for years. They are courteous, consistent, and caring. Those traits apply to their outreach for items needed by those they serve. It is also the likely reason it is successful. You can just get a feeling of humanity regardless of who you speak with. To provide pickup at your door explains the extent of their outreach. I encourage everyone to support their efforts in a consistent manner.

Great organization!!!!! Nspire has helped so many people. It's amazing how donated clothes can help so many people get jobs, education, reconnect with family and much more.

Nspier gave me the tools to change my life. I was homeless for two years. But now I'm on my way to get a career and a bright future. I thank Nspier for everything they have done for me

Illegal 501 3 C. FAKE CHARITY BEING INVESTIGATED right now!!
A literal crackhead figure it out how to run a scam! Do not donate to Hope House AKA Nspire aka David's house. Why in the world doesn't nonprofit need at least 3 different names??? Plus the Park Avenue Thrift stores where they sell everything they are donated!

Any good Donations will be STOLEN by the drivers, people working in the WAREHOUSE - mostly and the people putting this stuff on the floor.
They were on their employees they don't even get paid minimum wage. If they can blame an employee for an operational business loss they take it out of there check making them go away below minimum wage which is extremely illegal with the IRS. They literally ruin lives by making you think they're a good company helping domestic violence victims and NOTHING goes to domestic violence victims nothing!!! Look at the two different times they were reviewed by news stations. It's like Goodwill except they sell everything at Park Avenue Thrift stores that has it been stolen. They're Park Avenue Thrift stores are all disgusting the floors probably have not been cleaned in 30 years there's exposed wires. This is a terrible terrible Place ran by someone lacking a soul it is my mission in life to shut this business down.

Do not shop here! Go to any other thrift store there's so many out there don't go to a place that abuses its employees steal from their paychecks allegedly help single mothers and then finds them so much for having dirty discs that they don't have a paycheck to pay their rent and their any worse but then when they ask for help in the first place.

The owners all drives $60,000 cars this is a huge scam and not a charity.

Inspire provides the platform needed to change lives. Thanks Gregg Kennard

The nspire program has really changed my life around from being a drug addict and homeless to having Christmas in my life I am clean and sober I have a great job .. Pastor Gregg and Pam and Jerome and cheryl miss Tanya and Michael and Terrence are awesome people who take their time to help people like me Thank you to pastor and staff I love you all

Nspire has called my 90+ year old parents twice while visiting them in the last two days and both times hung up on me once I answered the question of who I was. I am concerned they are taking advantage of my elderly parents. Without speaking to somebody about the program my concerns still exist. Warning to all.

They were very efficient almost to the pushy side about my donation by calling and email after it was scheduled.
I have been trying to get in touch with them every day since ( only 4 days) I m confused about the customer service.
I m afraid I accidentally put something that wasn t meant to be a donation in with my pick up..... but I can not reach any one to inquire.

I was introduced to the nspire outreach via it's daily inspirational newsletter, "Wake Up! Your SpiritJava for Today". I've been a subscriber ever since. Love the positivity it provides.

Nspire is amazing. I recommend joining the program. It had changed my life is the best way. Thank you Nspire for all that you are.

One of the best and successful programs I know. The results of the clients turning their life around is amazing. Keep up the good work.

Inspire provides a phenomenal alternative for living for its participants. Their holistic approach of addressing the spiritual, mental, and physical being, covers all of the essentials to restore one back to their original state of achievement and pursuit of life's God given purpose. One of the best Outreach Programs available in the southeast. Highly recommend.

Nspire Outreach is and continues to be a beacon of light in the community. With several wellness activities and groups Nspire offers wonderful tools to help get your life back on track. To thumbs up, way up! Go Nspire!

You kick me out for some little things and now I'm sleeping in my friend car freezing to dead. How Nspire help people if somebody do some thing so small they want to kick you out for it.like having your headphones in when you in the car but in there rule book I can have my headphones in the car or the job Nspire talk about. I work there but I ask the guy who is training me to fall back because when I was on the phone talking to people about Nspire.the guy who is training me was talking in my other ear. So Nspire kick me out in the cold with no where to go and one of the staff hit me in the face. They don't want to give me my paycheck and I really need help

Nspire called us a couple times and wanted a donation. They were to come 7/28/2016 for pick up, marked the boxes after collecting good stuff for hours. It is almost 9pm and no one came and no one answers the phone. I'll be delivering to Catholic Charities I guess tomorrow but don't understand why they call constantly and don't pick up. Just found out it is not a NC but a Georgia place too which they never advised. Don't really care about that but they are beginning to seem not totally legit. Also on phone call, guess they don't give receipts for their pick ups either, hmmmm. They also call themselves HOPE for Domestic Violence? Will ask them next time to take me off their list.

Being here at Nspire is one of the best experience I've ever been involved in. The environment is very safe. I feel a gradual change in me. This program is ran with such a positive force that it deserves a ten star. If this program doesn't change a man then this man isn't ready for change. Nspire is a very good program.

When I entered the NSPIRE program, I was just over thirty days sober, estranged from my family, and unemployed. The holistic approach to recovery that this program offers is a GOD -nspired blessing. With the encouragement of community and staff, I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, I have reconnected with my family, and my relationship with my Higher Power has grown. The daily encouragement has helped me grow and become more self-aware and selfless, in addition to maintaining my sobriety. With creation of this program, the entire trajectory of my life has changed, and I am forever grateful.

Thank you Mr. Greg H. For following up for Stephen Chojnacki. This means so much!!! Thank you for all your continued help.

My experience with this organization yesterday was horrible. If I could give 0 stars I would. We were told that the truck would pick up our donations between 7am and 7pm and to please set the donations outside. I called at 1:40pm to verify it was still on schedule since I had not seen them prior to this time. I was told the driver was on pickup #52 and that we were pickup #72. The items were placed outside and remained there until 8:00pm without a truck coming by at all. What makes this matter much worse is that someone from N-spire called me at 5:40 to verify pickup. I told her the truck had not been by. She stated that she would call the driver and have him come by to pick the items up. Still no truck or phone call to communicate. I called the number back multiple times with no luck even though on a few calls someone picked up the phone and hung up. I know this because I heard them speaking in the background. Today I received a call at 10:30am asking me about the situation. I explained it just as it is written above. She calls the local manager here just to find out he is in another part of the state and would not be able to pick the items up for another 2 weeks. The lady then told me the driver yesterday referred to the pick up as a "mis-stop" with no further explanation. It was told to me that the driver "lied" about coming by. To be a so-called "faith based" organization, there were many pieces of this instance that seemed untruthful. I will no longer be supporting this outreach and anyone that does needs to understand your donations may or may not be picked up and there are no communication efforts whatsoever. It appears they have had many complaints over the past few years including some that were investigated by the Attorney General.

They refuse to honor requests to be removed from their phone list. They'll honor it for a few months then start calling again. I've had to block their number (as well as the number for an associated "charity" Hope House) as a result.

I used this organization one time and now I am overwhelmed with calls from them. Multiple times a day, very late night calls and unprofessional messages left on my house answering machine. I have asked to be removed from their list more than once; yet, I am still receiving multiple calls and e-mails. Tonight, the person calling "Tony" from Nspire crossed the line. I did not answer and on my machine (which comes through my cordless house phones) he is laughing stating "put the bowl up, we can't do that here". My daughter brings me the phone and is now questioning me all about what he said and why he sounded so creepy. The business closes at 5 pm and yet at 8:25 pm, they are calling my house. I will definitely be placing a call into the main location tomorrow.

After our phone call blocker showed that it had intercepted its HUNREDTH unsolicited and unwanted call from this one I did a quick search, and found BBB complaints, a state investigation and a story by WSB TV. I'd strongly recommend the Salvation Army, but definitely not this one. Oh - I have offered to file a harassment charge if they continued calling, and so far that has worked. Steer clear of this one.

Nspire is such a blessing to many families and individuals that the name speaks exactly what takes place at this Outreach ministry,it nspire people to want a new change to take place in their lives.and the staff and the director is always available to all the families and individuals who are house there at the facilities.and upon entering the ministry program there are free donated clothing and a food pantry that is free and open to all..if i was to say more,words just couldnt explain,but i sm not just a voce on behalf of this Outreach ministry,but i am also a client.....james.G.

They are HARRASSING!!! I literally donated twice. And the second time I literally had to dig up something's that I didn't really use to gijve them because they kept calling everyday at least 4 times a day looking for donations. It's aggravating! I do my mind helping at all but this organization is super aggressive. I don't have things to just do hate everyday. Anyways, the day we had the trooical storm Irma and all the power was out l, they said they had a truck coming to get some things from 7 am to 7 pm. I wasn't going to put out the boxes and bags over night because of the wind and rain I get up at 7 am to take the items out despite the rain and I had a note on my door saying sorry you missed us?? Like how??? It was extremely bad weather and i was putting it out at the correct time they stated. I was going to put it out just not over night. So what rime do they really come?? they have called me since and when ever I answer they hang up. Prior to I called them after the incident and no response. I just wanted to tell them the misunderstanding and can we reschedule. But instead I get the answering machine. So nope never ever again will I give my things to them ever I'll just continue to go to the good will and kidney foundation.

Stop calling my house every day! I have asked to be removed from your auto caller. Nspire is a scam! Who would donate to an organization that harasses you with phone calls every day.

This is the most loving, compassionate and honest organization I've ever witnessed. If willing to change your ways/lifestyle and commit your life to God, they can help you reach your goals and change your life forever!

Have asked to be taken of there calling list .But they keep calling at all hours.

Nspire is the family I never had I now have brothers and sisters Paster Gregg Mrs Pam Thank You. You may not know this but you gave me hope something I never thought I would have again.

I have received over 20 calls from this agency in one week despite my request to be removed from their calling list. They are a scam & under investigation by the Federal government

I have received multiple calls from this organization. In the beginning I offered to leave out some items. Instead of following my explicit instructions of where to pick up the items, the person stole my laundry from another place and left the donations. This happened a second time even after I had cancelled the donation pick-up. I have had my laundry (awaiting pick-up by the laundry man) taken twice by Nspire. This is not a trust worthy or well-run organization.

This is a great program with many opportunities to grow with forward progress

I highly recommend NSPIRE Outreach to anyone who is having problems with homelessness, drug addiction or employment.I came to NSPIRE November 1st 2016 on the Mega bus from Memphis,Tn. with just the clothes on my back an two suit cases. Since I been here in the program i have been clean & sober for 2years , have a full time job , a car ( paid for ) an currently attending school to be a substance abuse counselor. I have been to at least 4 or 5 alcohol & drug programs but never one like Nspire Outreach. Thank God for Nspire Outreach !

I don't mind helping but every month they call and send me and email i had to block them because i got tired of it..
I don't buy things all the time so don't cal me always i understand people need help everyday but i don't have things everyday..

I wounder if Hope & nspire are the same

I came into NSPIRE with my daughter a couple years ago and ever since then my life has been so much better! I was assisted with getting back into cosmetology school at Gwinnett Tech in which I just graduated from this past week. My daughter has been doing so well in school since we've been at NSPIRE! We've just received good news that she'll be in the gifted program at her school next year. NSPIRE met our basic needs and our life has been getting better everyday. I'll soon be moving into my own place and I owe it all to God and NSPIRE! Gregg and Mrs. Pam and the Staff are awesome!!!

I live in Duluth, GA and have known Gregg Kennard (Pastor of this ministry/rehab organization) for over a year now. Note that I was raised in the Roman Catholic church, and am now in my mid-50s. Gregg and his wife Pam are two of the most selfless, sincere, compassionate human beings I've ever met. Nspire Outreach - their non-profit organization - helps the homeless and victims of domestic abuse regardless of age, race, gender, or sexual orientation using a truly comprehensive, multi-faceted approach..

Yes - this is a Christian ministry - and there are rules that must be followed by those who are accepted into the program. These include living arrangements and work requirements. In return, many resources are provided to the participants including counseling services and assistance with job training. I can also assure you that - contrary to some other comments here - Gregg and Pam are NOT getting rich off this program. It is the furthest thing from a scam. They do raise much of their operating budget from collections of donated clothing which is then sold at local thrift stores. This of course requires outreach in the form of phone calls to potential donors of clothing and other items. It's simply the nature of the model on which this wonderful organization operates.

Honesty, integrity and commitment to the life principles taught by Jesus Christ are the core values of Nspire and its leadership. Though not a participant in the program, I have personally been attending Sunday worship services here for over a year. I can't adequately express in words how uplifting and enriching this experience has been for me.

Gregg is not bound by any church dogma, and teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ with his ACTIONS and his words as well as or better than any Catholic priest or other minister of any denomination I have ever encountered. Never in my life have I experienced a more impressive and effective ministry as this. I've also personally spoken with many whose lives have been transformed for the better by Gregg and this God-inspired program.

As with anything worthwhile, it requires a commitment on the part of the participant and a willingness to leave old habits and ways of thinking behind. It is not a cake-walk. But it is also the single most effective program of its type I have ever seen.

AS A HOMELESS MAN BACK IN AUGUST 2008, PASTOR GREGG TOOK ME OFF THE STREETS AND GAVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE TO BE A MORE POSITIVE MAN AGAIN AND TO BETTER MYSELF.

I was a client for a year and had graduated from the program and they literally took $500.00 from me because I decided it was time for me to leave and start my own life....that was wrong for the so called pastor of the program to do. #I don't forgive you nor will I forget....

I will have to say that NSPIRE HAS saved my life. Before comen here I gave up on life ,but GOD said that I will never for sake you or leave you, and by doing so he open the path way for to come to NSPIRE..NSPIRE isn't a outreach. NSPIRE IS A FAMILY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART. YOU CAN LAUGH WITH THEM ; YOU CAN CRY WITH THEM AND AND THEY GIVE YOU THE SPACE TO GROW BUT GIVE YOU ALL THE TOOL OF LIFE TO BE ALL YOU CAN BE AND MORE.SINCE COME HERE I HAVE LEARN TO LOVE MYSELF, I HAVE LEARN TO FORGIVE MYSELF, AND BELIEVE IN MYSELF. AS OF RIGHT NOW I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT, have full time employment and have relearn the values of responsibility,trust,honor and love.; first for myself and then other. God said that HE who is obedient shall eat the fruit of the land.God said that my thoughts towards you is to give you a future and HOPE and NSPIRE HAS BEEN THE PLACE TO HELP ME TO SEE ALL THESE THINGS. THANKS FOR HELPING ME TO SAVE MY LIFE. MR.LEVANCE ADDISON II

Dreadful pickup operations. They didn t show up on scheduled day. So I called next morning and was told that they would pick up today. I asked for an approximate pick up time and was then told that they had to cancel the pickup. They might be doing good things elsewhere but their donation operations are horrible.

Nspire Outreach is a truly an amazing place a professor once told me if I want to know if God is in a particular place you will see his character Nspire Outreach displays the Character of G-D , for when I was hungry they feed me , when I naked they clothed me and when I was thirsty they gave me something to drink. They also provide me with job training, inspirational gym workouts and coping skills that l can apply in my daily walk, Nspire Outreach is truly a great inspirational movement for many ages and for many stages. Thank you Nspire Outreach

Too many phone calls. I enjoy donating, but the calls ALL day long are a bit much. It's 9pm right now...they should not be calling me this late.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I donated items when they called and asked, they failed to leave a tax receipt and now the call me 5 times a day for more donations. My attempts at getting someone to call me back have failed and I have been unable to get anyone to respond, now when they call me and I ask about the receipt they hang up on me. THIS IS A SCAM!

This will always be my home! No place like this to worship and thrive!

Nspire Outreach helped me at a very low point in my life. It provided a wholistic approach that I needed. I feel myself getting stronger everyday. They provide stability, structure, and guidance in a loving environment. You get out of it what you put in. If you are ready for a change this is an excellent place to start.

So damn tired of phone calls from this fake organization!!! STOP CALLING ME!!!!!!!

I thanked for the people who offered their time to reach out and get whatever posible for others in need they do make it easy to pickup and collect items God Bless

Thus place has dramatically changed my life!! Change my out view of life, love, and gave me a bigger heart. This place is more than a program the pastor literally here to help make you a PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN. I came here for recovery and was giving a gift even bigger than that and for them reminding me to put GOD first I am truly thankful and happy. I ve grown in spirit and as a person. I will never forget NSPIRE OUTREACH

I joined NSPIRE Outreach, Inc. about six years ago and I gotta say that the program changed my life. I ended up leaving so I didn't graduate but I encourage anyone who's homeless and want to do better for themselves to join NSPIRE Outreach, Inc...
Although I left the program I do feel like Greg and his wife truly cares about the people in the program. Anyone who says negative things about NSPIRE Outreach, Inc. are just bitter.
Greg is a good man and although he will challenge you he's an alright guy ...

Thank you for your dedication in helping those of us that are in need.You make it easy for some of us to continue creating piles to give you on your next truck roundup.

I left my donation at the foot of the steps. It was picked up, but I don't understand why the driver would place the receipt between the garage door and jamb. This is ridiculous . I spoke to someone on the phone the night before and told the caller to tell the driver to leave the receipt on the steps. It is still in the garage door. How stupid!

Very good place to go if you want to improve and move

July 3, 2020, Inspired called me. I was thinking to myself, how did they get my number. I asked them and she told me that it was in their system. I then told her that I never donated to them, so it is impossible. I asked her are they affiliated with Hope. She said, yes. I told her that I did not want to donate to them because of my experience with Hope the last time. The woman on the line said, Whatever and tried to explain herself then disconnected the call. Again, this is an unprofessional organization. If they treat the people who are donating to them like this, imagine how they are treating the people they are helping. Not a good look. I would rather donate to an organization that appreciates me and not use me. Run, Run!!
(Hope)This organization is very unprofessional. I had a scheduled pick up date and the guy came by my house and everything. I had company over and he said he would be back for whatever reason, I do not know. He never came back to pick up my items. I called, to file a complaint and the lady who I spoke to said, I am sorry about that, would you like to make a donation next month. I told her nope and take me off your DNC list. Reviews on their pages are lies. They say they have a 4.5, but that is not true. Run!

Nspire outreach changed my life 5 years ago. It has all the tools you need to change your life. Nspire is my family. If u need to change your life, this is the place to go. And church with pastor gregg at nspire on Sunday is so great.

Helps people help themself while teaching them ways to change their spiritual and day to day outlook on life.

Inspire is for Greg and his wife to get rich off Poe people!! He makes 100,000 to 1 million dollars a year off homeless people!! He kicks out about 1,000 people a year!! He won,t u to sign your check and give it back to Nspire so he can get rich off u!! Jack azz only give u 20 dollars a week that's BS!!!!!!!

I got a pink bag on my mailbox (which is illegal use, since they are not mailmen) asking for items to donate to shelters. Normally, I would wholeheartedly support this cause, and I was ready to donate. However, at the advice of someone else, I did my research. This company has a history of lying about who they associate with, and breaking the law (see above), and I believe I will take my belongings to a place where I know they will reach the people that this company has promised. With a simple Google search, I found articles like
"Police warn about group seeking clothing donations"
"Attorney General looks into complaints about charity Nspire Outreach"
One article, "Charity Report - NSPIRE Outreach" in particular says " A civil penalty of $45,000 has been imposed against NSPIRE Outreach, a Georgia-based organization also known as Hope House or Hope for Domestic Violence, for soliciting contributions using false or misleading practices.

Specifically, the group has falsely represented that it works with other organizations with which it has no affiliation. Additionally, numerous individuals have filed complaints with the Division of Charitable Solicitations and Gaming because they continued to receive calls requesting donations even after requesting to be removed from the group's call list.

COMPLAINTS

Number of complaints processed by the BBB in the last 36 months: 15 "

I'm sorry, but I will not support a company like this in any way, and I hope others do their research as well.

My family and I have been donating clothes to this company for a few years now. Back in May 2019, we put a donation on the porch and I received a delivery on the same day as well. The driver mistakingly stole my package off my porch and it was never returned to me. I ve lived in my house over 20 years and have never had a package stolen until that day. I worked with NSPIRE for weeks, roughly 2 months to get the issue resolved just for them to give me the run around. I even went to the donation site to ask them to look through the donated clothes to find my brand new package. After probably 4 weeks of being given the run around ( going to the donation site, calling Nspire, her escalating it to her manager , leaving countless voicemails and sending multiple emails) Nspire says they refuse to refund me without proof of evidence AFTER I showed my package was delivered around the same time my clothing donation was picked up. No longer donating to this company and am embarrased I have been doing these past years.

Outstanding organization making a real difference in the lives of the people they help.

Great Organization, constantly helping the homeless / mentally ill, and drug addicted, to get back on their feet again.
God bless you Nspire.!

This church based program changes life s with your clothing donations! It saved mine!

I am so happy I was given the opportunity to enter the program. I have learned so much in so little time. I am blessed to be here. Keep up the good work .

Constantly impressed with how many lives are changed by the power of used clothes! NSpire does a phenomenal job being transparent and transformative in their pursuit of ending poverty and the "less-than" mentality. Stefani Wade

Great organization!! Meeting a need in the community!! Helping people that need it most.

The thought behind the organization is great. I just don't understand why they have to call my house so often. Case in point, I went through my caller ID and documented the following calls from Nspire: 11:35 am 12/19/15; 12:20 pm 12/21/15; and 1:58 pm 12/22/15.
I am a firm believer in, "If I need you or want to support you, I'll find you." It's sad that I have to feel so annoyed by a company that is meant to help others.

Short Version: Unprofessional, sketchy organization that cold calls multiple times a month. Looking from the reviews, I would think twice when donating here.

Long Version: Received a call today (the 3rd call this month) from this organization and a young lady asked me if i could participate in a clothing drive coming up next week. I told her that i would be out of town and I asked her what address they were coming to and she told me an address that i moved out of years ago. She then insisted on changing my address so that i could make it for the drive and said that i did not need to be at home. I told her no thank you once more and she yelled I thought you were going to donate? So you kept me on the phone this long just to not donate?

After 3 failed attempts of staying clean from drugs, I was in the stage of beginning to embark on homelessness. Nspire has been much more than I bargained for. They're approach to Recovery is very unique in its vision. Instead of being a program of recovery using the standard 12 Step model, it takes it a step further by being a program of CHANGE or what I like to call RENEWAL. Moreover the vision of Nspire is holistic healing which even in the midst of my demonic addiction, I knew deep down, and have now confirmed for myself that hollistic healing of mind, body, and soul is the most fulfilling and worthwhile way to heal. It's not called Nspire (In spirit) for no reason. The staff bends over backwards to accommodate you to whatever needs you may have. Transportation, food, shelter, and clothing are all provided for you, as well as a daily schedule of activities that caters to inner renewal. There are 2 sets of classes throughout the week, 3 mandatory workouts, Bible study on Saturday and 2 drug/alcohol recovery meetings. The only thing you have to do to suceed is abide by the rules lined up for you, abide by the schedule and work for the clothing donation call center. Working is a way of giving back in order to make it possible for the program to be sustained since we're non profit and go solely off of donations. There is not really anything negative I can say about the execution of the program because of how brilliantly designed it is with an added bonus of being completely free for the first 13 weeks. It has to be the best decision I ever made for myself. I have now recently reached triple digits on the amount of days I have stayed completely clean and sober and I was never really sure that day would ever come. I'm currently experiencing the beauty and magic that is life after being blessed with the opportunity to be in such a warm welcoming enviornment with all the resources I could ever need to heal at my command. I'd like to thank all the staff members and current clients whom have made such a wonderful impact on my life. It has forever changed due to this community!

Nspire Outreach has truly lived up to its' name, logo and mission. Countless people now truly understand the whole meaning and logic supporting 'second chance'. Nspire has truly accomplished what it set out to do!

I used to attend Nspire church services. Always a good message, great music, and awesome pastor. Gregg Kennard has a generous heart and has always worked to help the community. He has a good heart and really cares about people which is why, I feel, the outreach has done so well.

Multiple charity pick ups scheduled, items never picked up. The items would sit outside for a day or two waiting.
We called to inquire when the pick up would occur the individuals we talked to said they didn't know since they did not have a schedule of times or driver locations. Did not act concerned about collection of items or if we donated in the future. We will be donating to other charities in the future.
