Overall this is a nice place for the most part. I give 5 starts because it’s very neat and clean always, I have gone several times and was able to get really good, fresh fruits, vegetables and meat donated from the same grocery stores in the area. However some of the volunteers fall way short on respect for the clients. Particularly clients of color. There is one man I won’t use his full name I will only say that it begins with C. He DOES NOT like black people and one day the words are gonna slide out in public. I’ve heard him on many occasions talk about people in a “friendly joking manner” He’s usually at the protein station. He once said “ Look at you at the free food bank” to a girl in line. I could tell she didn’t like it. He then asked me what the “thing” on my head was called? Speaking of my head wrap. What that has to do w/ a food bank? I’m not sure. I have also witnessed another female worker say “give her the frozen bag of ice” when she gets home she’ll realize it’s not meat. “That’s what C does to them all the time”! She was speaking about an Asian elderly lady that didn’t speak English. Today Mr.C gave the lady in front of me wonderful service, she even asked him for a 2nd item when you’re only allowed 1. He didn’t give her any trouble at all and right in front of me he gave her both items. When it was my turn his sarcasm turned back on. “Ooooh you want bacon”? How are you gonna feed your family dinner with bacon? He asked.. please tell me how you volunteer at a food bank and don’t like All people in 2024? Do better staff
