We are Partners of NSPIRE Outreach

As Friends of NSPIRE Outreach, we are fully convinced that this Charitable Organization always strives to hold themselves to the highest possible standards of excellence in every aspect of their charitable programs. As the humble recipient of the 2016 Greater Gwinnett Reentry Alliance’s “Best Ministry Award,” NSPIRE Outreach is more committed than ever to producing unique, life-changing homeless rehabilitation programs and life-changing 2nd chance programs for victims of domestic abuse. Their programs are comprehensive, and seek to help people in need make “forever changes” to their existence.

Charitable Organizations play a very important role in our American society, especially in the Southeastern United States. In many communities and social circles, someone’s character can be judged almost exclusively by the Charity they have for their fellow men and women. Some would say that the true worth of a person is not how much they have, but what good they choose to do with what they have. So it makes sense that when someone chooses to align themselves with a Charitable Organization, they have high expectations for all their interactions, and high expectations for what the organization does with what has been given to them.

Any charitable organization is going to face opposition at one point or another, whether or not it is warranted. Some folks are deflated when they give their every effort to help make a change in their world, only to have naysayers blast them for being different. But the folks at NSPIRE Outreach have chosen to take every criticism to heart, and show love to those who criticize, while still taking the opportunity to learn from the experience.

Clothing Drives

Year in and year out, some of the most common NSPIRE Outreach Complaints arise from their Clothing Drives. Specifically, people are upset about being called for donations, or they are upset about something regarding their Clothing Pickup. If you have been called regarding a potential clothing donation, and you no longer want to be called, on behalf of NSPIRE Outreach, we humbly apologize. If you have truly asked to have been added to our DO NOT CALL list, but you have still been called, we apologize even further, and will continue taking every necessary step to help NSPIRE Outreach remedy this problem.

Many of the personnel in the NSPIRE call center are either program participants in our homeless and domestic abuse rehabilitation programs, and are receiving on-the-job career training that will not only give them skills for employment, as well as job experience, but might very well save their life. The same thing applies to those who are on clothing pickup runs, or who are tasked with separating donated clothing for distribution.

It would be easy to only hire trained professionals to take care of these things, especially since the front-facing side of these clothing drive campaigns is so critical to NSPIRE's reputation. This would be unfair to program participants who are in actual need of job skills training, as well as job experience that will help them build a strong, viable future away from homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, or anything else they have been struggling with.

While we appreciate the patience and understanding of kindhearted people like yourself, we know that NSPIRE has the desire to train program participants not only for a job, but for the real world. If they perform poorly at their job in the real world, they stand the danger of being reprimanded, demoted, or even losing their job. Learning how to keep gainful employment is one of the vital skills that each NSPIRE Outreach program participants can learn. And excelling in their chosen craft is one of the more fulfilling things anyone can do, especially when it’s worked for.

In this spirit of professionalism and growth, we hope that our friends and neighbors will continue to help point out the areas in which NSPIRE Outreach needs to change and mature. We thank you for your donations, your support, and your criticisms. Without them, NSPIRE Outreach wouldn’t be here to help the neediest among us.

NSPIRE Outreach Investigations

Did you know that NSPIRE Outreach has been the target of numerous investigations by local, regional, and state officials? It’s true! But did you also know that every single investigation has been dropped? That’s also true! NSPIRE Outreach doesn’t claim to be a perfect organization, made of perfect people. That’s actually a big part of the NSPIRE story. Imperfect people, longing for change, helping each other find peace, hope, and a brand-new outlook on life.

You might have actually seen some online stories, or at least the headlines for stories, that various local and regional news outlets have published online. Here’s a list of a few of the headlines, and what actually transpired with each instance:

The unfortunate part about the online publishing of these stories is that despite the inflammatory claims, accusations, and allegations being debunked, dropped, or dismissed against NSPIRE Outreach, the publishing websites are not required to remove these misrepresenting stories from the internet, regardless of the harm they could be causing. But just like the people they try to help, NSPIRE Outreach has overcome much more daunting things than debunked, inflammatory articles.
