Well, I have mixed feelings about this place.
If, it weren't for the people running (into the ground) the Men's emergency 'Mission'
I'd give them more stars.
For $5.00 you get a good portioned meal (lots of carbs though) that primarily consists of day (or, so) old pastries. With that, more pastries. In fact the 'Fist Lady' of the United States' hair would straighten out if she ever saw the cardiac clogging menu. But, what's one less poor person to San Jose.
Don't get me wrong. It's appreciated and a God Send. Especially, for the local cardiologists it's keeping employed.
After dinner if you're in need of shelter for the evening you can lineup for intake this is where while you're 'in' their office. They 'take' your money. However, they refuse to give receipts for your money. If you protest they make snide remarks about their tax dollars supporting you. (This from people who were living under a bridge or, in prison a year or, so beforehand. When, my tax dollars supported them and their relatives!)
Strangely enough, the place seems to be just an extension of the penal system of Santa Clara County. I can only imagine that's why the authorities turn the other way on a great many infringements of both State and Federal Laws.
After your visit with James-Hermann Goring-Alverado's 'Gestapo'
Oh, there's so much more and I would swear on a stack of Bibles it's all true.
Hey, the County's General Assistance works claim they use slave labor imported from the East Coast.
Now, I'm sure the upper echelon on Zankor rd. are nice people and so, are the volunteers. However, how James and his cronie Julio ever got jobs working with the public (Let alone 'special needs' people with doctor backed disabilities) is beyond me. Apparently, when you want free labor you have to lower your standards a little.
That side of the courtyard has no responsable leadership. They actually hurt more people and keep them in poverty through intimidation and lies.
I'm sorry, but you'll read similar reviews all over the internet going back a while.
The California Department of Consumer Affairs has told me to bring my complaints to the Attorney General or, the Santa Clara County Prosecutor because they are breaking the law by refusing to give receipts.
I won't even go into the violent violations of the A.D.A. and other Civil Rights issues.
In closing I've never heard or, seen Christianity practiced like this. From the forced 'Bible Study' I've learned that Catholics are not Christians. Women are evil. I'm too stupid to make decisions. Just to name a few.
It seems they hate or, love to hate homosexuals and women (I guess that explains all the nervous sheep in San Jose). Catholics and Jews well, they like their financial donations that's about it according to their rhetoric.
I challenge you to see it all for yourselves secretly. I wish it wasn't so but, as usual a few bad apples always kill a good idea. read more
