Our Client Testimonials

What our Alumni says about us

  • “I often tell God, ‘I don’t know what I did to deserve to be so blessed like this.” 

  • “Five months ago I was eating out of a dumpster behind McDonalds on Lodi Avenue and today I am using my degree as a drafter, saving money, and working toward complete independence.” 

  • “I am really grateful for the connections that I’ve made and the staff always being there to help me.  I’ve learned way more about myself and how to be willing to grow and understand.”

  • “I am grateful for the grace and empathy I have received and a safe place for my children to come home. I’ve learned that I’m capable of raising my children alone.”

  • “Lodi House has given me the opportunity to be the strong, independent, amazing woman I had always dreamed of being.”

  • “The most valuable part of the program is not having to worry about having a bed and running water so you can focus on interviewing and getting a job. That is what I needed.”
