Besa's platform provides a central place to learn about social welfare, its impact on the community and how charities work to address the core problems. The outcome: spend less time searching and more time getting personally involved in giving back.

August 10, 2018 ImpressiveWow, talk about a well organized event!! 10,000 backpacks were filled and I think we all walked away feeling like we were part of something big. From the moment we arrived the event ran like a perfectly tuned engine. Thank you for a great morning! Was this review helpful? |

November 18, 2015 Columbus Diaper CoalitionThe diaper distribution event is an amazing experience! Each time I have volunteered here I have met many new people. I love the energy of the volunteers and workers. This event is very organized and the stations make it very clear what your role is. I highly recommend this event either with a group of friends or by yourself...you will always meet someone new :) Was this review helpful? |

July 28, 2015 Columbus Diaper CoalitionThis organization was a pleasure to volunteer for. The Ladies running the diaper coalition have a great heart for needs of mother's in Columbus. It's amazing seeing how many diapers they give out to people in need and was nice being able to help them get the thousands of diapers ready to distribute. I highly recommend getting involved with Columbus Diaper Coalition. You won't be disappointed. I'll be at the next one for sure! Was this review helpful? |

February 28, 2013 Besa helped me find the perfect causeFor my 27th birthday, I wanted to raise $2700 for a local organization. I was referred to Besa, received great personal service, and eventually was able to connect with a great local charity. Simple, intuitive, and comprehensive! Was this review helpful? |

July 18, 2012 An idea takes flightI haved served as a volunteer member of the board during the gestation and hatching of Besa. Now Besa is aloft and i am left to wonder at the marvel of it all: one individual, one idea - now at the center of a living, breathing community and a constellation of human needs. This is how Besa came about. Was this review helpful? |
