    May 2025- I am beyond grateful to The Warehouse Ministry for planning a beautiful memorial and…read moreremembrance service for my father, Victor Castro in May 2025. From the moment we arrived the care and hospitality they provided were unmatched. Katrina is truly amazing her passion, compassion, and dedication made all the difference during such an emotional time. Thank you Katrina. Pastor Puggy, had such a beautiful and heartfelt sermon in honor of his best friend. His words carried love, strength, and deep reflection it was clear this came from a place of true friendship and faith. He created a space that brought comfort and unity to everyone present, and his message touched every heart. It was a powerful tribute, and his leadership through this moment was truly a gift. Deepest thanks to Puggy's wife Angela as well, her singing was absolutely beautiful. Her voice carried so much emotion and peace, and it added a sacred and uplifting touch to the entire service. I also want to express my gratitude to the other pastor (I will update with his name) for his powerful message during the service. His words were deeply moving and stayed with me long after. When he said, "Victor was a protector, not a predator," it struck such a powerful chord beautifully capturing the strength, and character of my dad. The service brought together people from all walks of life who also shared stories, and the love and respect shown for my father by the entire community was incredibly moving. The Warehouse created a space filled with peace, honor, and so many heartfelt memories. It was one of the most thoughtful and unforgettable experiences I've ever had. Thank you and the community for celebrating my father's life in such a meaningful way. I will carry this day with me forever. The Warehouse Ministry gave my dad, Victor Castro, purpose and for that, I am forever grateful. The Warehouse is more than a building it's a place of healing, hope, and community. *Due to the privacy of the community. I will not post any other pictures.

    I lived in Visalia a great deal of my life. It is the absolute worst food bank around…read more The food was rejected. It was for example vinegar apple chips. Like experimental stuff that wouldn't sell. Another time it was a crap load of old melting ice cream..Always hard old beans that never ever cooks and rice. Rice is cheap. I got junk while other people got a whole chicken or two. I called them once and said I didn't get one protein. Not even a small can of tuna. Oh well we can't help what people donate. Where does all that $ go???? Now that I live in a great community and so happy to be out of Tiajauna, USA, I think they should be shut down. I am so blessed by the most outstanding food bank around. It actually helps. They aren't ever rude. I felt they were pretty bad. I saw a lot of reviews that are same as mine. It's a cover to take rotten food and pad their pocketswuth $. I get milk eggs and cheese..lots of desserts. Lots of canned goods and meat. Fresh produce. It's like a store with a cart we use to go through each area. They aren't prejudice. Even if the town was 90% Hispanics they wouldn't treat white people and black people as well as their own like crap. It was not worth the gas!!! Very disturbing! They have a thrift store and do fund raisers. Most food is from USDA ..free! SO again where is that $ going? God I am so glad to have left that Tiajauna town. If I was Hispanic I probably would've gotten some of the milk I always saw in background. I said I really needed milk. Oh it's not for our clients,,???. Basically. I can't remember. I don't remember if I ever got anything good.

    We met family from Sacramento here today, we're from Bakersfield. We have never been here before…read more It was a great deal at $3/person, since it's the 1st sat of the month. We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11. My son is going to be 11 next week & loved it because he loves dinosaurs, digging & science. Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

    Awesome place for the kids to learn and run around. Was looking for a place for the kiddos to play…read moreand I came across this. Came here once for my nephews birthday and haven't been back since, so it's been a while and I kind of forgot this place exists. You can get your tickets online, I happen to check at the right time because their prices and affordable on every first Saturdays of the month! The lady working was super friendly and helpful, she even told me they do music classes and that the kids are more than welcome to join. Around 11am they have a person doing a science presentation but unfortunately she was running late on her project and I overheard her being kind of rude and not in a good mood so we decided to move on to the next room. They were also selling boba and eggrolls outside, sorry I forget the name of the seller that had their booth there. The kids enjoyed the front area where they can dress up, draw and play with toys. There was also someone selling their 3D printed animals, which the kids loved so I caved and bought them all one plus help support small businesses. Overall it was a nice experience for the kids to enjoy.

    Wow this church is huge inside I had the pleasure of visiting here for my niece confirmation. And…read morethe inside church is very well done and heard it's one of the biggest church according to a site. The church is the largest Catholic parish church in North America, seating 3148 worshippers.

    I do not live in Visalia however I visited this church a couple of weeks ago when the relics of…read moreSaint Terese were brought there. This is a very large church but they had ample parking. We were greeted as we came in the main doors once inside the church I did ask one of the attendance if there would be a good place for me to sit since I did have a mobility aid I kind of needed a little more room. I was directed to a wide section of seating which was perfect. The church itself is very pretty without being too much. The crucifix really stands out. During this event everyone was very kind and gave us directions on how to approach the relics. During the time we were waiting some of the priests came to the microphone and we're telling personal experiences regarding Saint Terese that was very interesting to hear although some of it was a little hard to hear as several children were there crying at different times. As we were leaving the attendance smiled and gave a little wave which was nice made me feel welcome. If I lived in Visalia this is the church I would go to although I do prefer smaller churches this one did have a nice feel and was closer to the traditional style church then some of the newer mega church type of places which I don't care for.
