Simply told that that "didn't look good for me" and I moved on because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I didn't have a guilty conscience for something I didn't do. I told them they could thoroughly search me and my belongings considering I didn't own so much as a lighter. I guess that wasnt good enough because a few days later I was told that a member of the board had moved to have me evicted. With no real evidence whatsoever. That's what you get for being honest with these people. False accusations and threats to be put out on your butt. And from what another woman living there told me I'm far from the first person to have that happen. And all of this within not even a full week of me staying there. I didn't stick around to see what else could possibly go wrong living there, I packed up my stuff, left, and moved in with the father of my child with whom my relationship is incredibly strained, because I had no other options The woman who live there are lovely, and even the staff themselves conducts themselves in a friendly manner, but if you have any skeletons in your closet whatsoever, be prepared to be treated like a criminal and probably be the first one to be accused if anything happens.

I've been a long time advocate for SPCA services, Monterey SPCA helped me in April with euthanasia and cremation, it was a very pleasant process. Unfortunately I had to repeat part of that process 4 weeks ago when my last fur baby passed away, and they made the experience pleasant. The turnaround time was fast, definitely a good quality. I cannot brag on them enough! Also, their social media adoption efforts are like no other, check them out! I'll try to post pictures later.

After years of donating to the Red Cross Whenever there was a disaster I finally had to call them…read morefor help when I was evacuated from my home due to the fires in Monterey County. I was shocked to find that they offered no help at all and only instructed that I go to the county evacuation shelter. No other offers of help no hotel voucher not for food or even a bottle of water I feel taken for giving them any kind of donation over the years and my mother donated to them as well. What a rip off. I have a compromised immune system and going to a shelter could expose me possibly to the Coronavirus. I'm really shocked at the complete lack of help or compassion I found when calling the Red Cross. Seems to be just another scam soliciting donations when there is a crisis and yet not providing help to those who are affected by the crisis. Donate your money elsewhere!

This is a beautiful church with a fine staff. I used to live only a mile away. I visited it for…read moreawhile but then i started going to church in Monterey and became the coffee maker on Sunday mornings for a church in Monterey. We gave out 500 donuts each Sunday, and i would make 1500 cups of coffee each Sunday, using a Starbucks style coffee maker. I then visited this church one Sunday at the 7:00 am service. There were 75 worshipers at the service. The priest invited everyone present to stop by for coffee and donuts after mass. I was curious what kind of coffer maker they used at this church. So i walked to the place where coffee was being served, and only 7 people out of 75 attendees followed me for coffee. All the other 63 people got in their car and left. I saw an old fashioned coffee maker sitting there, and only 9 donuts on the table. Not the 500 donuts i used to seeing nor a big coffee makrr. I was in shock to see such a pitiful turnout. I went back to my Monterey church the following week where everyone stops by for coffee and donuts and to socialize with fellow believers. So sad to see how little socializing this churc has.

They have a choir who dress in robes and an organ. The members are older. Not all but most - probably because they prefer traditional services. They have a short coffee meetup after services and everyone knows each other and seems friendly. I had been looking for a place to bring my mom and she likes it. We will switch between this and their other campus on South Main. They do have modern equipment. They project the same sermon that Pastor Mike is preaching from the South Main campus. This past Easter they had a handbell choir, the regular choir and a soloist who sang classical from Handel's Messiah. They have classes throughout the week. I would think they should do an alter call, especially on special days like Easter. But I am here to make sure my mom has a place to go and help her become a part of the community. We'll keep coming.
