Community Services/Non-Profits in Manteca, CA

“I found this organization online because my son wanted a kitten. I contacted the organization the entire team is amazing. I love that they have an open house you can interact with the cats. Jessica has literally turned her garage into a cat rescue. The way the garage is remodeled really accommodates all the cats. The entire team is so amazing. The cost is reasonable for everything the cats come with. They get their shots are dewormed as well as get fixed.They make sure you get a carrier to take them home. I would text them with questions and they were beyond helpful. They really know cats and are seriously experts. I got two kittens from them and has literally the best decisions we have ever made. If you are considering getting a cat I only recommend this place they are beyond amazing. I could not thank this place enough to helping me get rid of my son's anxiety. They are beyond 5 stars and we love them so much.”

“The boys and girls club in Manteca is amazing! Not only is it an extremely affordable way to help your children be more active, they also have free food for the kids, tons of activities, free sports and my sons even got free stockings for Christmas filled with toys and goodies. ❤️”

“I worked at Valley CAPS for many years before leaving to pursue another career. Valley CAPS is a behavioral Day Program - one of a few in the Central Valley for intellectual disabled adults who want to attend a Day Program with behaviors that other Day Programs are not able accept. There are various facilities- ABLE, PLUS, Senior Center (Manteca) and Modesto and In Home Day Program for those who can not make it into a Day Program. I applied to work there because my friend said I would be a good fit even though I had little experience working with intellectual disabled adults. My first day was an eye opener, even though I was given a tour and was told what to expect during my interview - from assisting Consumers with personal care, assisting them eat their packed meals, teaching them independent living skills and how to assist them in managing their behaviors. With lots of training from management and staff, I was able to succeed. I learned many things , most importantly how to assist Consumer when they have a behaviors so they don't harm themselves or anyone around them. They gave me the tools to succeed and that's what I did and management took notice and was offered a full time position. Yes, there were staff/management issues - I loved my job and pushed through the BS. I heard the old guard is now gone and I hear things are slowly changing for the better for staff and the organization. No more covering tattoos and one can wear shirts with logos/ images. It will take time. At the end of the day, it's all about the amazing Consumers who attend Valley CAPS who teach each other and staff tolerance, forgiveness, empathy, care, love, understanding and being a decent human being. P.S. If you like to sit, not lift a finger except to text on your phone, be ignorant and not learn anything - don't waste your time or Valley CAPS' and DO NOT APPLY.”
