Our comment from Nutrifinder.net about Tulsa CARES:
Tulsa CARES is a dedicated organization serving the HIV community, offering a wide variety of services aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals affected by HIV. Many clients have expressed their gratitude for the caring and compassionate staff, highlighting their exceptional support and the welcoming atmosphere at the center. A few key strengths of Tulsa CARES include:
- Comprehensive Services: They provide an extensive range of services, including food pantries, counseling, housing assistance, and medical referrals.
- Caring Staff: Numerous reviews praise the friendly and professional staff who go above and beyond to assist clients in need.
- Community Engagement: Special events such as lunches and farmers’ markets foster a strong sense of community.
- Supportive Environment: Clients often feel at home and supported, which is essential for those facing the challenges associated with HIV.
However, some feedback indicates areas for improvement, such as:
- Inconsistent service experiences, as a few clients reported feeling unsupported during critical moments.
- Concerns about staff interactions, which may sometimes lack the compassion expected in such a vulnerable area of service.
Despite these challenges, the overall sentiment reflects a strong commitment to helping those in need, making Tulsa CARES a vital resource for the community.
Tulsa CARES: Reviews
Negative experience: Disappointing Lack of Compassion After experiencing a devastating loss in our family due to HIV, we turned to Tulsa CARES hoping for support with cremation expenses for our loved one—a former client of theirs. To our shock and deep disappointment, they refused to help. This organization, which claims to serve the HIV community with dignity and compassion, showed neither in our time of need. According to their own 2024 annual report, Tulsa CARES received $4,912,171 in funding but spent only $4,237,128. That left over $675,000 in unspent funds after all administrative and program expenses were covered. Yet they could not spare a modest amount to assist with final arrangements for someone they once claimed to care for. This refusal makes one question where their priorities truly lie. If a grieving family in crisis doesn’t qualify for help—even with significant surplus funds—who does? It's disheartening to see an organization with ample resources fail so completely at a basic act of human decency. Tulsa CARES needs to be held accountable for the way it allocates its funds and treats the very community it’s supposed to serve. We hope others have a better experience, but sadly, we were left feeling abandoned at one of the hardest moments of our lives.
Negative experience: Complained about mistreatment by the staff and one of their vendors, so they cut off my access to nutrition and transportation services completely. It's like cruelty is the point.
Negative experience: I thought the way they handle things was horrible and the way they treated people were not humane. And Greg was the worst one out of all of them
