Quick context- i am disabled and suffer from cognitive and physical limitations. I am low income,…read moreand didnt quite have the mandatory $50 to spend but i wanted to pay at least half of that to get fewer items... Going through a rough time today, went by several pantries and food banks. Turns out that Thursday is a popular day to not distribute any food. I was advised to come by here and that the people here are nice and accommodating. I arrived and was immediately assisted by an older woman whom was very kind and sweet, she directed me to a desk area where an annoyed looking younger woman sat, whom looked and sound like she didn't want to be bothered and was trying to get people out of her hair. When it came time to ask i attempt to ask if I can pay "half for less" and she told me its only 50 they dont offer any other help it is what it is and she couldn't direct me anywhere else. She said she can charge per item but I would end up paying more. I was stunned at the lack of dignity I recieved here....from this worker in particular. She was rude up until I didn't want to even try anymore, at that point she told me byyeeeee have a blessed day! I had brought with me paperwork and everything to show I was disabled and in need just to get by for the remainder of the week but I felt super unwelcome.

To make this informational : it's good if you have $50 and need to stock up on veggies and other…read moreitems. The downside is sometimes the food needs to be eaten so soon or it's expired already. Also that you can pick your amount of veggies and fruits... but the rest is what they give you. Plain and simple review!

First time going to any food bank and although the experience wasn't awful, I couldn't believe the…read morequality of food. Since when is it ever ok to be giving people EXPIRED food from 2 years ago! Frozen steaks from last year and even boxed goods that were old. Are they trying to get people sick? Seriously, I don't care if it's free, giving people overly expired food is like expecting them to eat out of the trash- we deserve better than that!

It's a shame to see some people bad mouth places trying to help when they don't really know what…read morethey are talking about when it comes to food and the dates. There are date guide lines that are followed by the book at most places. Most meat if frozen before the date are good up to 3 years past. Most canned goods are good for over a year past date. Dry goods stored properly are good for the most part 3 years past date. Just like camping and emergency food. Most now don't understand that those dates are now not best by dates but fresh by dates just so that theirs tastes better than the competitors for repeat purchase. That's why there's so much food waste here that they had to make a law to make places donate instead of trashing it. You can easily look online now days and see. Example: barbeque sauce if stored properly is good for a year or more past the date. I myself recently had such a thing in my cupboard that expires May 2024 I ate it last month August 2025 I'm still alive and it honestly tasted the same as if I just bought it. I also recently did the same with Easy Cheese that was 1 year and 8 months past date. I am not saying everything is ok I suggest smelling things first and taking a small taste prior, but we throw so much away because manufacturers are trying to make you buy theirs again in stead of another that we are all fooled into throwing away edible items. If a can is expanded it's not good but if not it's probably good far far past the date. We live in the information internet times now type it in and see what is suggested to be ok but always trust your own judgement by smell, taste, and tell. Please don't throw it away just because a company that wants you to buy from them again say that date makes it trash. Also please please stop complaining about places trying to help they really struggle to keep doing what they do most all are nonprofit which means they have to ask for money to be able to have a place to give, a way to get the things to give, and to have the people there to help. They are basically in the same boat as the ones who come for help as in the don't have money and are trying to get food. The difference is they give it away for free after the struggle. I worked at one for 14 years. I know the struggle when you have more in need them more that give. Most do it all with out thanks or appreciation! There are government guide lines to the dates of the food to be given out and they would be shut down if not followed and yes they are inspected very often most have many visits through out the year. Please think before you post because your ignorance can have a place shut down for no reason.
