After…read moreshowing great concern about a young child that was clearly not being supervised by an adult, I was denied a food box. I was denied by the supervisor stating that I had already received food twice this month. I am NOT a food stamp recipient, in fact I was on the phone with DES at the time that I was called up and informed him of that fact. I am attempting to help my family any way I can. The supervisor denied us even an emergency food box. The heartless guy referred me to St. Mary's Food Bank which is many miles away from Desert Mission (where I was after having waited in line), even more miles away from my home. End result, I was unable to drive the extra 10+ miles to get to St. Mary's. I have very little gas, absolutely no money and a bald tire (very unsafe to make that trip). My family will go hungry this evening and this completely unacceptable. If the option of ZERO stars were available, that's what my review would firmly be after this inappropriate conduct.

But before heading out on our trip, we decided to come here first to do some team building so that we could get to know each other. Midwest Food Bank is a faith-based organization. Their mission is to alleviate hunger and malnutrition locally and throughout the world and provide disaster relief. It is a great place for groups, families and individuals to come and volunteer at. Sign up is easy and they have daily shifts available to help pack and organize food boxes in their warehouse. They make it simple to find a shift that works best for your schedule. When you arrive and check in, Midwest Food Bank shows a video about the organization and explains how food will be packaged. Volunteers are then assigned to different stations. Because you are working with food, hand washing is required and so is wearing a hair net (they provide them). The staff here at Midwest Food Bank is great and they making volunteering fun.

He made the experience lighthearted while still keeping us in line (pun not intended) and he even took song requests from Prince Fans (Purple Rain). Thank you to the entire St. Mary's team for all you do, and for providing opportunities that not only support the community, but also help other teams grow stronger together.

The two girls at the desk are jibber-jabbering with each other. One looks up long enough to say "Take a number". Take a number and sit down. They continue their conversation. Other people come in. Some are told to take numbers, while others are allowed to have extended conversations with the clerks. How they determine who gets immediate service and who has to wait is a mystery. After a time, one girl gets up and wanders off somewhere, while the other talks on the phone. This goes on for a while until they call your number, at which time you show them your ID and they look you up in the system, hand you a card and tell you to go park your car around the side of the building. While you wait, other cars pull up, have their boxes loaded almost immediately, while you sit there and wait. And wait. Finally someone comes out and sticks a box of food in your car and life goes on.
