Millionair Club Charity

This place will lie to you and rip you off like they do to theirs owned workers. Millonair Club ask the customer to pay 4 hour’s min at $ 26 an hour but pay their workers $ 9.47

Followup to my previous review: I finally did get in touch with somebody from the Millionair Club, about a week after the wedding where their workers failed to arrive. They told me that they’d had some kind of repairs occurring that Saturday, and therefore needed to get all of Saturday’s orders handled on Friday. In the confusion, mine was apparently overlooked.
I don’t consider this an acceptable excuse. First of all, they clearly knew about the intended repairs in advance, which means they ought to have planned to handle the orders for that day in a way which would ensure they didn’t drop the ball on somebody. Second of all, even a heavier-​than-​normal workload should not produce such chaos in a reputable organization that they totally forget about orders which are properly entered into the system. Third of all, if there were *anything* unusual happening that Saturday, someone should have checked over all Saturday’s orders promptly on Monday, as soon as they were back at their computer, to make sure everything was handled. If they did that at all, they didn’t contact me when they found out mine hadn’t been filled.
They were very apologetic, but not very competent, and their apologies left much to be desired — especially since they were unwilling to offer any kind of compensation, including paying for the extra I had to pay my other helpers due explicitly and solely to the fact that THEIR people weren’t where they should be.
Am seriously considering a lawsuit for that money. Meantime, stay away from the Millionair Club if there’s something you need to have done; their workers may be competent, but their office staff decidedly isn’t, and you may never see the workers at all, as I didn’t.

I’ve now used Millionair Club 6 times and they’ve been amazing. We were redoing the backyard and have used their people to cut overgrown bamboo and laurel hedges, dig up blackberry bushes (an incredibly tough job), weeds and morning glory, and spread wood chips. We’ve also used them to pull weeds on the front yard.
I was a little worried the first time because the reputation of day labor is mixed, but the person was prompt, professional, hard working and just a genuinely nice guy. So was the second person. And the third and the fourth, and everyone who they’ve sent (well one was so so on pulling front yard weeds, but not terrible and I’d take that ratio any day). Just everything you’d ever hope for.
It was also an interesting window of learning for me, because if you want to talk with people about their stories (no obligation to), you hear about people caught in the economic downturn, working their way back from injuries, and just in general hitting hard luck, which they’re doing their best to recover from. The people I hired were all very upbeat, the opposite of complainers, but did answer when I asked, and I was moved by their stories.
I also like that it’s a nonprofit and someone isn’t exploiting their situation.
So I’ve been recommending them to my friends and neighbors ever since, and will continue to use them for any project where their people have relevant skills.

Have had two great experiences hiring workers from the Millionair Club — one for some landscaping work and the other for moving.
The landscaper was a professional who was down on his luck. He spent practically all day digging up a side of my yard and cleared it of pesky bamboo roots (not a fun job). I was sorry I didn’t have more work for him to do. He was professional and a very hard worker.
I’d recently hired two more guys to help me move and they were almost half an hour early and raring to go. They brought their own gloves and were very professional and got the job done within the 4 hours. I also liked that they were very respectful of my things and even asked for things, like a glass of water, and whether they could set their coffees down on my mantle, etc.
The rates are up to $ 12/​hour and there are workers for basic jobs of painting, moving, cleaning, landscaping. However, I have a single female friend who had a scary experience with some workers from the club. She had some ongoing projects and the guys eventually didn’t want to leave after the job was done and would hang around her place all the time.
As a single woman, I think it would be smart to have people hanging around your place, no matter who you hire for a job, unless the person came recommended. But if you’re hiring from the Millionair Club, just be aware that some of these men may be homeless or even drug addicts (I’m pretty sure one of the movers was a meth head — but damn, was he good with the heavy boxes and never ran out of energy!)
However, all have been background checked, so there really shouldn’t be any major problems. They are also very quick to respond to requests and could probably get someone out the next day for certain jobs. I’ve got a major paint job coming up and will definitely hire these guys again.

Left in the cold (well, the heat actually) by movers? Need someone to scrub down your apartment so you can get your deposit back? Need help hauling away all of those blackberry brambles so your garden can be less thorny? This is the place — every single person I’ve hired through this service was prompt, polite, hard-​working, and awesome to work with. I’ve handled two moves and a number of heavy-​lifting household tasks through Millionair Club and will continue to seek help here when I need it. You pay the workers (directly, so get out some cash) an hourly rate (minimum set by the Club, you can of course pay more.) It’s nice to provide lunch for them if you’re having them work more than the four-​hour minimum.
The docked star? They never seem to listen when I tell them that my place is hard to find and I need to provide specific directions — the workers always wind up a little lost (but always make it on time, anyway!)

Used online scheduling to hire a worker to help move an office. He showed up 15 minutes early and was dressed better then I would have been for the work. He was ready to get started right right away and never complained or asked for any breaks. He was enthusiastic and offered several good suggestions. I highly recommend the service and will use them again!

A friend told me about the Millionair Club which he had used recently for his move. I emailed them the night before our scheduled move day and received a phone call first thing in the morning. We picked up Jeffrey Z. and Rickie I. at the Aurora Village Transit Center. After stopping for a cup of coffee which I offered, they went straight to work. They worked very hard and were very careful with our things. They had to go down one flight of stairs for the move out and up another flight for the move in. We were very pleased and grateful. We would not hesitate recommending them to anyone who needs labor.

The Millionair Club helps people in our community — primarily the homeless and working poor — by providing day labor and employment readiness services. These programs helps people get back on their feet and work toward further self-​reliance. Good stuff, right?
If you’re a homeowner or property owner, you can hire the Millionair Club’s willing and eager workers to help you tackle your to-​do list — anything from painting, landscaping, moving, cleaning, and/​or maintanence jobs.
It’s easy to hire these guys, and cheaper than you may think. You can just call or submit a request through
, and they’ll send someone to complete the jobs — workers arrive using public transportation. Labor rates are roughly $ 10 an hour, with a four hour minimum requested. You pay the worker directly at the end of the day. Best of all, the Millionair club doesn’t charge any fees and 100% of the money you pay the worker goes right into his pocket. Also, all workers have passed federal background checks and can legally work in the U.S.
Hubbie and I hired a couple of guys over the weekend and it was fantastic. Chris and Charles showed up early and worked hard all day helping us with some landscaping chores. They transplanted a tree, moved dirt, and hauled rocks. They were worth every penny we paid them and more.
I highly recommend this service. You’ll get some help getting jobs done around the house, and these guys will get an opportunity to earn a day’s wage and the respect that goes with it.
