I live in a 55 and older community. We tried the produce delivery on Mondays. These bags are $5…read moreplus delivery. They do not let you pick them up. Our delivery fee was $10. It's important to note that they advertise this as a farmers market. Because I live in a retirement low income community, they brought extra bags and sold them to our residents. We realize this is left over produce from a sale they have the day before and were not expecting anything fancy. What we got was rotten food and food from the food bank. Lesson learned. The next day, they asked on their social media page for feedback. I posted about the low quality of food and the food bank staples of rice and beans being in the bags. Essentially, we were paying for food bank food. I was not rude. This started a tyrade of text messages. They stated they do not buy the food locally. Rather, they buy it from state vendors and listed Kent and Auburn, Wa. She further stated that if you sell produce, you are a farmers market. Uh, no, you are not. I didn't argue with her. She then said it's leftover food that's marked down and we should be happy with what we got. I told her some people thought the bags were great and we would try again. They then deleted my comment from social media and blocked me from their page. This is sad. 10 of us were heading for that sale next Sunday to pick out our own produce. Additionally, at least 20 people wanted to try the delivery one more time. Now we won't be going at all. That is just riculous. If you can not handle criticism, why ask for feedback? I would have chalked up my experience to a bad first impression. I would not have written a review. I always give places another chance. Given this one-time experience, I would be very leery of buying or taking food from this company. It's appears they are exploiting poor people. You are buying free food bank food. Maybe the in person sale is better. I probably will never know. After the rude customer service I won't go there at allI

On Christmas day, I worked from 6 am to 5pm here. I covered breakfast and dinner. The experience left me with mixed emotions. Competing with my empathy for anyone who is hungry or has no place to stay was my frustration with watching the homeless/hungry not eat everything on their plate. If you have no money for food, you are out of line to throw it away. I grew up in a house where resources were stretched thin and we never had the luxury to throw out food. Images of hungry people at shelters in addition to my own life experience drives my obsession with managing the contents of my refrigerator so that nothing passes the expiration date. The mission here is noble and essential. Many of the people who use the service have no idea what it is really like to have nothing. Cant fault Gospel Mission, though.

The Pantry Shelf is a non profit food bank for those that are in need. Yes, in our little town of…read moreWalla Walla, with a few rich folks, there are people in need of food. I have volunteered here, and I must tell you all, as far as food banks go this one is amazing. Of course, the food is given as they have it, but during the summer/fall, our lovely farmers donate generously with fresh produce. One requirement is that the people seeking food must go to HelpLine first and get a voucher. This is not a bad thing. Those with a voucher can use it 3 times a month at various food banks around town. I cannot vouch for the other 2 food banks, but I' ve heard they give alot of canned stuff (how many cans of pumpkin can you use?) The Pantry shelf gives toilet paper and laundry detergent as it's available, as well . The Pantry Shelf ASKS if a person can use: a variety of goods they have available. If the person says no. they don't get it. Perhaps a family in need of food comes in, and the staff asks....Can you use pickled beets? and the family says no. No problem. No pickled beets for them, but they can have some green beans or peas or corn or beans. I love the way the Pantry Shelf treats each person with respect and dignity. There have been a few times when we had had some frozen chicken or hamburger. It all depends on what we have. Yes, I have volunteered, but not on a regular basis. There are decidcated people that volunteer and know many of the people by name. If you have a few spare dollars, I urge you to donate to the Pantry Shelf. Yes. there are 2 other food banks in town, The Salvation Army and another one. Neither of them give fresh produce as far as I know. I have seen the eyes light up when people are asked if they can use: Fresh tomatoes Fresh onions Fresh potatoes Fresh cherries Fresh berries or anything else fresh. Would anyone like to donate whatever is fresh from your garden? I guarantee whatever you donate will be appreciated/

I would encourage anyone that is considering donating to, or adopting from BFHS to read the…read moreemployee reviews at Indeed.com to get some insight into the way animals and employees are treated. I wouldn't discourage anyone from adopting here, as it's what is best for the animals. Just know a bit about what type of organization and management you are dealing with. When we recently adopted there was one front desk employee that was continually very snarky. We could not get any real idea of when we could pick up the dog we agreed to adopt. We had to wait for her to be spayed, and the employee seemed to delight in telling us they couldn't give us much of a timeline. I visited our new dog every day the shelter was open while we were waiting for her to be spayed. Almost every day this same snarky employee made it clear they didn't have the staff for someone to let the dog out of her kennel for me. I had made it clear on every visit that I only wanted to say hi and visit through the kennel door. On the one day that employee wasn't there I was immediately offered a meet and greet room to spend some time with our new dog. Quite a difference. There is absolutely no follow up after you adopt. Read the descriptions on Pet Finder and you will immediately notice the over-use of the same cut and pasted phrases. It's difficult to feel like you're getting an honest assesment of each dog. 2 star rating from charity navigator. I absolutely wouldn't support this place financially. The reviews on indeed.com point to fear based management being used to bully employees who actually care about the animals.
