True

Explanation:

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are third sector entities, that is, they are civil society and private, whose function is to develop non-profit work. The area of NGO activity is very diverse: social, health, environmental, women's protection groups, drug treatment, etc.

The recovery and rescue of addicts and homeless people is a government obligation, but Reverend Wells founded a nonprofit organization that does this service, as shown in the question above. For this reason, we can conclude that the organization founded by Reverend Wells is a voluntary non-governmental organization (NGO) that assists government operations.
