Sonia along with her kids and the many volunteers that come together to put these awesome bags together for children ranging from infant to teens that are suddenly taken out of their homes without any warning. They are donation based and so with that they are always in need of clothing, toiletries, coloring books, things that are both a necessity & then that small item that might be able to give a child a bit of comfort in a traumatizing time. I had the pleasure of putting together a donation collection through my office last year, the picture I posted does not even do justice as that box was packed... We had such an outpouring of support and it goes for such a wonderful cause. A year round organization , they can always use volunteers to help put the bags together and Sonia along with her family are a joy to work with.

This place delivers a "dog and pony show." What the program offers looks great on paper and while…read morethey manage to present to their public programs that superficially reflect what they offer, the quality of that service is very much compromised by the absence of any real oversight or contribution by management. Management's #1 concern is $. And, since numbers of visitors (or members since visiting requires signing up as a member) determine the amount of financial investment to the Center, the number of daily visitors is Management's prime concern. Apart from that data, Management allows the Center to be run by Staff who, taking their cue from Management, are primarily concerned with retaining their positions and their favor with Management. The result is a cutthroat work culture in which employees learn quickly to walk on eggshells. Employee credentials, (most especially those of Middle Management) are questionable, at best. And, reviews like this one are frequently removed from reviewing sites and false ones, written by current middle-management replace them. The real welfare of the clients (members) is most definitely lost in the mix. And, any employee who conducts themselves differently or, who makes any real attempts to return the focus to the client, is shunned by the rest and immediately placed in the line of fire to be let go. Foundation needs to rename this site, more aptly....the UNwellness Center.

Food Share is such an important resource and lifeline to Ventura County! The staff at the…read moredistribution center truly care about their mission, and it definitely shows through their actions. At a former job of mine, Food Share allowed the educational non-profit organization I worked for to shop weekly for fresh produce to distribute directly to elementary school students and families served in need, many of whom struggled with food insecurity. This partnership was vital, and very much appreciated by all because it helped improve food access throughout our community at wellness fairs and nutrition classes. Thank you for your hard work! I will never forget about the huge difference Food Share continues to make in countless lives throughout Ventura County, and the value they place on equity.

Each were priced between $14-$17 and I think there were six pieces. I asked the woman at the front if I bought all of them, was there any kind of deal they'd make. She had to ask her manager. She asked and I'm seriously not even sure if she finished her sentence before the manager snapped "No! We just got those in". Hahaha!!! Well, you don't want to sell them??? I honestly would have considered paying full price. I would have for sure bought all of it if they knocked off even $5 on the total. I just wasn't sure if they negotiated prices since it's just a thrift store. I didn't buy anything and won't walk back in to that store. How can a manager be that rude? To the owners, you're losing sales. We live close by so I'll recommend they not bother. She should take a class in sales.

It was such a bad experience. The doctor had no bed side manners and I felt like a baby factory, very cold- matter of fact and just another woman having a baby. There was no love in the care I received. After we transferred to California I had no doctor. I wanted to check on baby and found this location had ultrasounds available. I was able to speak with a person on the phone and get an appointment very quickly. My experience was so joyful and pleasurable from beginning to end! The women who work on the team are so caring and friendly. I had a great experience especially in comparison to my initial and first ultrasound. Thank you for the wonderful care and for the loving support!!
