This review is about the food bank located at the St. Charles Catholic Church known as the…read moreTri-Parish Food Bank. My previous review was a first impressions look at the food bank, and now that I have gone several times, I can say that I have some updated information on their treatment of those with disabilities. I have added one additional star bringing them to five stars in my book now that I have a good sense of how it works. Although it is not publicized, they do allow the people with disabilities to line up toward the front. You can sit in the cafeteria area and wait for the disabled line to start going through - there is no need to try and squeeze in with the rest of the people in the traditional line. On going through the line, often they will have someone to help you with your boxes or bags to a cart. Sometimes someone will be able to help you take your cart to your car. You can take a cart out to your car, and usually someone will be assigned to retrieve carts. Just start to take the cart back and someone should come and grab it from you so that you do not have to make the long walk to the food bank from the parking lot. As far as disabilities go, you still need to be able to walk from your car to the food bank, which is about a block and a half. If you can do that, they will help you as much as they can and let you go first in line. Please read my previous review to get a sense of the food bank itself for those who are new or thinking of going. This is an excellent food bank with really nice people and fast service. They often offer a lot of good produce that is in great shape in addition to their great normal selection of food and bread.

I recently went to Help House in Oak Harbor, and I am impressed with the service there. They have a…read moreproduce section that as I understand it gets daily deliveries. Now is the time to stock up on potatoes! You can go once a month for a bag of food, twice a week for produce, and twice a week for bread and bakery. The bag of food they gave me contained three types of frozen meat, a Haggen's sandwich (not expired), and pizza among many other staples. I really appreciate these folks who really stepped in to help me and my wife in times of financial strain when we cannot buy food. So thank you Help House for being an angel in a time of need.

Hey! If no one else is gonna give these dedicated people a review, then by all means, I will!…read more I have had to utilize the donations offered by this place, off and on for over 12 years, and I can't begin to say how blessed and grateful I feel every time I need to! They provide SO MUCH of the food basics, they help keep families, the disabled/handicapped and seniors from malnutrition and hunger on a regular basis. Local produce is delivered daily. The people are friendly and familiarize themselves with the regulars. This place speaks to the character of the citizens of Oak Harbor in a VERY special way!

The volunteers are just the neatest bunch of people and they work hard to service clients with dignity, respect, and humor. The food bank has raised garden beds where they grow food and at times there are food service volunteers who help teach clients how to prepare nutritious meals from fresh vegetables and such.

I'm have volunteered at the Food Pantry on Walker Street in the Highgate area of Burnaby. This…read morefood bank is in the process of moving soon to a new location but currently is run out of an old church and is called the Food Pantry. Clients( as they are known) line up outside and are invited in to be taken around by volunteers who lead them around to select items of their choice within certain parameters. The amount they get is based on numbers in their family. What I don't like is that this place gets fruits and vegetables that are not in very good condition - especially the greens and more delicate produce. The items here are donated by local stores. I don't believe the public's donations go to support this location. It is not a very nice facility so should be nicer when they move.

Good event! Very informative it's nice to see how many people do care and donate…read more I learned that ALL items are needed except alcohol and item damaged or items without labels. Big ticket items needed are soya sauce and honey. Donations not required are ANY kind of vitamin supplements as they cannot be distributed as the food bank does not have a pharmaceutical license. I didn't think I'd enjoy this Yelp event but I did! Really opened my eyes as to how easy volunteering here would be and I'm seriously considering it. Thanks again for a great event.

If the homeless and low income have a car and can afford gas i suppose they can drive outside of town and pick up some food bank from the food bank. Seriously what is wrong with Port Angeles, is it all just a cash grab under the guise of caring for those less fortunate?? Photo of Port Angeles food bank attatched, miles outside of town and no bus service anywhere near the actual business and you have to walk about a mile uphill to catch the bus on the main highway if you can. Disabled and elderly poor cant do that. Serves the most able bodied not quite actually really poor people who have cars in the area, smh.

I have noted the other ladies comment on here, and in contrast I have found the employees to be very friendly and accommodating at all times. I don't know who that employee mentioned is, but all I can say is that I have always been treated kindly and courteously. Perhaps the lady was having a bad day, as we all do from time to time.
