I didn't even know that was against the rules. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm advocating anybody who reads about this incident to do yourself a favor and never support these terrible people. Boycott until bankruptcy

On Sundays they have a free story/activity time in the front window area that is great for younger kids. There is something for everyone here. I also like that you can host parties without additional fees, and you can bring your own drinks and food in any time. They have a special where you can bring your receipt to Alvarado Street Brewery to get discounted canned beer same day too. The staff and owner are really nice too. We've been here as a family, on a date, with friends, and for a private event. It hasn't disappointed. Great addition to Alvarado!

I came as a guest and felt included. The group is relaxed and fun with a wide variety of members from all backgrounds and that makes for interesting speeches. The club members all take an interest in each other and are genuinely happy when they see progress. I've come to count on their support, which has enabled me to try new things that I never would have such as asking the audience to stand and lock arms or inviting people to laugh out loud for no reason. I have confidence to try new things so it affects every area of my life. The fact that my speech is improving is almost an afterthought because I've found community who care enough to challenge me and supports me when I do well.

Beautiful location, ample parking, clean bathrooms, & stunning views!…read more I recently attended a luncheon in the small event room with a large balcony. It's a great spot for small events (less than 50 people). Acoustics are poor due to the high ceiling, so I recommend a sound system setup with multiple portable speakers so no one misses anything shared by the host or guest speakers. The meal was delicious. I had mushroom pasta Alfredo, but other selections included grilled salmon & breaded chicken breast. Each were nicely presented & flavorful. Beverages were available at a station only, but the room was so tightly packed with tables & chairs that movement was limited so I went thirsty. The servers weren't available to assist. Unfortunately, the lunch wasn't served by table; so guests sat with their hot meals cooling rapidly while one type of entree was served at a time. This is very bad etiquette & leave the guests feeling uncomfortable, especially with cold food when everyone is finally served. Food service was delayed long past the end of the speaker's program, so most people left before dessert was served. In fact, many people were unable to stay for the weird entree service & missed it. Whatta waste since the luncheon was hosted by a nonprofit. View is exceptional, but table service needs a skilled event manager who can 'read the room' & prompt the Chef and servers to provide the main course in a more timely way. Hopefully, the nonprofit received a substantial discount for this poorly managed meal.

Iy means d everything to be treated so well as a homeless person. GFW understands exactly what homeless women need. From feminine hygiene products to clothes, laundry vouchers to gas/trans vouchers -- their resources keep you alive and WELL. The social workers are amazing and tapped into every resource in Monterey County. You won't find a better group of people anywhere. The weekly luncheon on Tuesdays, offsite in Carmel, is a wonderful networking opportunity and a beautiful event I look forward to. Here is some information from their website: Gathering for Women is a caring community... Where homeless women can get a hot meal, free clothing and some limited emergency assistance. Where health, mental health, and other service providers can connect with homeless women to offer them help. Where homeless women can learn how to keep themselves safe and health. Where the community can learn from homeless women about what they need. Where housing providers can connect with, screen, and place women into permanent housing. Mission: Supporting the Homeless and Hungry Vision: Our vision is that the homeless and hungry have a place on the Monterey Peninsula where they can access food, clothing, a caring community, and connections to resources and services. Values: Hope Empowerment Advocacy Respect Transparency Gathering for Women also operates a Food Pantry for All that is open three days a week and provides basic food staples to all hungry people on the Monterey Peninsula.

We operate three locations offering a variety of services. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we provide services designed to reduce immediate harm and help homeless women transition out of homelessness, such as clothing, personal care items, case management, comprehensive resource support, limited emergency assistance, education to promote their health and safety, and connections to community service providers. Every Tuesday we provide homeless women with a caring community and a hot nutritious meal. On Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays we provide nonperishable food for anyone in need. Everyday we are working towards a permanent facility to consolidate our program into a drop-in Day Center with one-stop for resources serving homeless women on the Monterey Peninsula. Our Goal To provide the resources that will promote health, safety, and housing readiness among our women guests. Our hope is that every homeless woman will eventually be housed with appropriate supportive services.
