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.

If it were not for SOJ I would not have been able to better my circumstances and get back to having a goal and a path for my personal and spiritual life.

I once lived in a bountiful where an immense freezer could be filled with earth's goodness of vegetables and fruits for a small expense in miles and cash. Not that easy in Arizona.

I want to contribute quality to those less blessed than I have been. And, St. Mary's, being a religious organization charity, blesses families, and individuals with the foundation of living - food.

If the food could be used to help those in need, great! I made my way to Extended Hands early. There didn't seem to be signs posted as to where to drive up, although in all honesty, I wasn't really looking. I found the door and thought "great! Easy!" However the woman inside the food bank was very unfriendly. She told me I was in the wrong area and that I needed to pull my car to the back. Struggling with my heavy box, I thought, 'really, lady? Okkk', but then she opened the connecting door and yelled that I was here and that I had brought a box of food and asked the people on the other side if I should leave it or drive around. The other people were pretty nice and said I could leave it. I had a smaller box in the car and I was actually going to leave it, after the encounter I had with the elderly woman, but someone asked if I had any more food and I replied. A younger gentleman came out to my car and took it off my hands. After the unfriendly encounter I had, I don't think I would come back to this food bank. However the people working on the other side where the drop off is, were nicer.

This isn't the place to get assistance…read more The bizarre part of how I landed here was that it was based on a referral from an Arizona local who suggested I visit Paz to get a higher level of assistance. "Phoenix doesn't care; the people at Paz will make sure you're taken care of." While that endorsement wasn't entirely a lie, it was, however, misleading. Paz, like nearly every other community outreach program that has been reappropriated by federal security guards, makes it very clear that the unfortunate souls who have to visit their facility are not welcome. Or perhaps I wasn't welcome, but either way, the staff at Paz behaves in the same manner that most people I've come into contact with in the city of Mesa behave. The compound itself is surrounded by a concrete wall complete with barb wire & a security gate. The compound itself is constantly monitored & guarded, & you're forced to state the nature of your business prior to being granted entry. Even still, the staff will attempt to dissuade you from visiting or attempt to cattle-herd you to literally ANY other program but theirs. The steady diet of swine they serve during the evenings is served in miniscule portions, & additional food is not permitted, even if there is excess food. Food boxes are only given to people with an address. The offered services are provided on a first-come, first-served basis & limited to 10 people per day. They offer free haircuts every other week, but in my experience, the barber found it funny to cut my hair in such a way that when it grew back in, it was pretty messed up. The showers that are also offered are complete with staff members banging on the door every few minutes. Poverty is a problem that will truly never be solved. Conversely, the individuals working within that sector know better than most how much of a gravy train that industry is. There will always be poor people, & without the need to provide statistics on just how many people have truly been pulled out of the cycle of poverty, it's pretty much a lifelong money printer. These sad facts are on full display everyday at this program. If you're looking to visit this location during your MLB or NBA fan experience, I strongly suggest against it. Overall, this place is not the best place to go if you're of African descent. As you can see from my other reviews, I have not had the most pleasant experiences lately. However! At great personal risk to myself, I write these reviews based on my experiences so that others will benefit from the experiences that I have. I encourage others to SPEAK UP!
