The visiting Nurses rummage sale is a twice a year tradition and it is done for a great cause…read more Locals donate their unused items to this nonprofit organization and they are resold to raise funds to keep the nurses visiting those who can not afford the care which they need. The event lasts for three days Friday through Sunday. The sale itself is orderly but crowded. People arrive early in the mornings to be the first to be let into the giant tents full of clothing, jewelry, furniture, household, kitchen items, electronics, books, sporting good, toys and more. There is plenty of off street parking on the polo field. Customer limits are set on each tent to give you a bit of room to shop and to keep safely within fire department regulations. I find that there used to be more bargains and lower prices. For the savvy shopper or parents with growing children, there are plenty of buys which will save you money.

The Food Bank is not supposed to be your main source or food - it is just supposed to give you a few pantry items to supplement the food you buy yourself.

Here's what happened in Chronological order: Love Bombing and Boundary Crossing Refusing to respect when i said No At the same time given Abnormal Privileges like access to Employee and Volunteer only areas Being given priority over other people in need, and right in front of them Being given other people's donations Personal Space Violations, 2 or 3 of the male Volunteers violated my Personal Space by walking extremely close to me, and usually behind me. Triggered the shit out of me. Put me on High Defense. DON'T EVER COME WITHIN ARMS LENGTH OF A WOMAN WITHOUT HER PERMISSION AND NEVER EVER APPROACH A WOMAN FROM BEHIND ITS COMMON SENSE They clearly don't care whether i feel safe or not. Directors Ego, kept insisting i give him attention. I was avoiding the Director on purpose because he has bad vibes. So he'd search me out to make sure he was acknowleged. That only put me off even more. Found out about the Privacy Violations Some staff was telling others private information about me , and information that put me in jeopardy, like that im living in my Vehicle, and where i was staying. And other sensitive information. I never would have consented to that, but they never asked me anyway. Interrogated me every visit, putting me in the Hot Seat and making me EXTREMELY DEFENSIVE AND ALERT. This alone nearly made me flee for safety reasons. That same staff member also asked my underwear size.i didn't give it, and said i didn't need it, so the staff member bought underwear anyway and tried to get me to take it in front of others. I didn't. Same staff member offered me her username and password to her personal online account. I quickly dodged that bullet. Numerous Staff and Volunteers seemed to very much dislike me for no reason. I thought at first maybe its because i was being given wierd Privileges like to walk behind the scenes. But that's probably not what it really was. I got some dirty looks, one staff member walking away disinterested while i was talking about what being homeless is like, and lots of fakeness from some others. I found that only a handful treated me like a person. Mostly i was treated like i was inferior, and / or detested. And that my safety, comfort, preferences, and boundaries mean nothing. The Last day i went, a few interesting things happened. i finally used the access privilege and walked around looking for someone, a Volunteer spoke with me to arrange helping me repair my Vehicle and setting up an employment interview in a field i used to work in and Loved. While that conversation was taking place, the Director stormed into that Office, visually very angry, and pulled the Manager into his office. When the Manager came back she told me she had a project for me. She later walked me to a wall in the Warehouse and told me that there was a complaint of an odor, and that the Director wanted me to leave and go take a Shower at a male Volunteers building. That was the last thing i was going to experience from them. i grabbed my purse and bolted out of the Food Bank, ne'er to return. It very much looked like the Director thought that i was under his command, or in debt to him in some way, and must do as he dictates. Incorrect. And the last thing i would do is make myself THAT vulnerable to those i do not know, males LEAST OF ALL. This was the Biggest Red Flag, waving High in the Sky. Idecided its best to not have any affiliation with that Food Bank at all, and take no more donations. To cut the ties. I responded to a Text from the Manager saying some of what i typed here, airing some Complaints, and then stopped communicating. After all that, the Manager: *Gave out my Phone number *Tried to reopen the door by sending a donation my way. I refused it. I have never in my Life had to go through so much for a little Food. It's just not Worth it. Go somewhere that's Healthy to be. This place will take a serious toll on your mental health and may even lead to disaster. And don't EVER think that you owe anyone anything in exchange for donations. That's how they get ya. You don't owe them anything at all. The donations are INTENDED for you. You don't owe anyone any Favors, or Obedience. Just say Thank You and LEAVE
