“I came across Wayside Ministries right before Christmas in a Facebook post, I rarely buy or give to anything on Facebook but I felt compelled to make a donation and I attribute that to the Lord putting it on my heart, so I gave immediately, the ministry sent me a Christmas card with a beautiful message handwritten inside. That’s when I found out that this ministry is in my neighborhood, in fact only minutes away! Thanks for the card, it really meant a lot, it was a pleasant surprise! God bless!!”

“Do you know where your food comes from? What a cool experience to see and be part of your local community! Always a wide variety of produce - and the 'u-pick' opportunities are awesome (especially for the little ones). The opportunity to interact and support with other local vendors is an added bonus that we love. If you haven't seen the good things happening at Green Earth Harvest/McDonald Farm/TCF - you're missing out!”

“The whole experience from start to end was by far the best I have ever seen when it comes to the care and treatment given to a patient and family members. My Grandfather was moved to Lightways after falling very ill with his age. He had the a nurses in checking on him every 2 hours or at the push of a button with minutes, but also on all of our family members. You can really notice that everyone that works there really love there job and take the time to make sure everything is as close to perfect as it can be in such a time of grief. I was so happy that my grandfather was taken there and passed with such great care that he deserved. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of hospice care. By far they are the best I have ever seen.”

“My experience here was really good. They have a good selection of furniture which constantly sells. So, if you see something and you like it, you better get it because there is no guarantee it will be there when you come back for it.I would have given them 5 stars but they did not explain to me that when I came to pick up my furniture pieces, that I needed to go to the side door to pick up my furniture.And when the sales girl tagged my headboard, she tagged the wrong one, so when the loaders went to load it in my truck, I had to tell them that was not the headboard I had selected. Luckily for the sales girl, the headboard I wanted was still in the store and nobody had bought it.Otherwise than that, I will be returning and purchasing more items from this store.”

“I really liked how easy it was to work with WCCCC. I showed up on a random afternoon and 'signed in' online through my phone. The steps were easy to understand. I got a text right away when they were ready to see me. I walked right in and the employee was waiting for me and got to work looking through my documents. I wouldn't say there was a lot of friendliness but I am just glad it went smoothly. I was expecting it to be more like DHS office. I appreciated how I was able to get in and out at a reasonable time.”

“Jennings Terrace is not just a place to live, it is a family. My uncle was a resident here. He loved his friends and “family” here. Everyone was so kind to him. He loved the activities, the food, the staff, the residents, the outings, etc. Not only did he become a family with them, they embraced his brothers and my family too. Since his passing, they have kept in touch with us and invite us to events. They may not have all the frills like some places, but they have big hearts and lots of care and love for their residents.”
