I'm writing this review in my attempt to become an Elite for the year of 2014. But I think I can…read morerecap my experience with the Food Bank here. I volunteered here with Central Maryland Volunteers via MeetUp. The MeetUp capped the volunteer list at 12, but the facility could have surely accommodated more volunteers (that didn't make sense to me - I think the organizer from MeetUp wanted quality and quantity over just quantity). While I was there, I was stationed at the conveyer belt, and I was in charge of packaging Tomato Sauce. Basically, this is what happens. A bunch of donations come in from different areas/sources around Maryland to the Food Bank. The Food Bank acts as a redistributor of these resources to families in need. To act as this redistributor, the Food Bank has to sort through a bunch of goods that come through their doors, which are often times not suitable for consumption. That is where the volunteer efforts come into play. These volunteers sort through these goods - this saves the Food Bank money, which, in turn, saves the state money. And us volunteers may get to see how much waste could potentially arise in the landfills if it were not for organizations like the Food Bank -- Back to my responsibility in packaging the Tomato Sauce goods into boxes. My task was rather slow, so I took the initiative to also package the canned tomato goods that neighbored the tomato sauce station because no one was on it. And a lot of canned tomato goods were filling the conveyer belt at the time. This kept me busy for the next two and a half hours. - I also chatted with a fella who was working right next to me. Our topics of conversation ranged from junk food to canned goods and engineering. The volunteer experience was worth it. I wrote a bit more than I intended to aspire to obtain some Elite status on a review website (the struggle...)

We arrived around 5:45a at the Bunting Building and the valet parking was available ($10 - cash, card, or tap). They even sent me a text message with my pickup number! There is also garage parking for a fee. We went to the Crane Surgical Center to be checked for the procedure. They provided parking validation passes as well. The waiting area was spacious with a table with a wall of outlets to charge up phone, computer, etc. and there was complimentary coffee/tea offered. The quality of care was exceptional, once again. You get a patient number and can follow their course of treatment from prep to recovery. The staff were pleasant and my family member had their procedure with no issues. The doctor gave me a call when it was all done! All in all, a great facility for my family member's various outpatient procedures.

Although there are some good people at The Baltimore Station, they stand in the shadows of Kim, Paul, Josh and Russel who are all thieves. Food donations and donations of value do not make it to the residents. Staff first go through them all and decides what they want. Complaints have been made to the program and to Veterans Affairs but nothing is done. The place is full of mice, roaches and filth. Residents are threatened not to talk about the situation and told they will be kicked out. The amount of employee theft is unbelieveable and happens every single day. Funds meant for the residents are spent on staff. Please research veterans programs before helping these greedy people steal more from our veterans.
