Martha's Village & Kitchen, Indio CA

I was greeted really nicely, absolutely very welcoming, as the gentleman who first receives the call transfers me to another department (C&E), another gentleman answered " what's up bro how can I help you, yeah what do you need " in a not welcoming voice at all, it was very unpleasant If I consideres trying this out definitely am no longer doing that if the social workers are this disrespectful I can only imagine the rest, I do not generalize because I know for a fact everyone is not the same. Although despite this I was asked if I wanted to be put on the waiting list very rudely, I honestly am very disappointed about this. I don't communicate here on my review my housing status just because I have reviewed in the past at several other places.

My recommendation, don't take it personal if they're rude follow through & keep pushing until you get where you want to be even although and despite the circumstances call back even though you may not want to.

Blessings to everyone

Shelter was a horrible experience.had psychotic ex druggie for roommate and he threatened me with bodily harm because I snored. Supervisors were not helpful nor compassionate about the homophobic comments made to me by the nasty roommate

This place is a real nuisance idk if I spelled that right but idc I'm done here whatever u do don't come live here don't check in it's ridiculous fire alarm goes off for the second time Ina row in the middle.of night

This place really cares about people
I’m living proof
Thank you Martha’s village
Alejandro was so helpful I am forever grateful thank you guys at Martha’s village

This place helped me get back on my feet when I was homeless n just getting outtakes the hospital I went into Recuperative CAREAT MARTHAS VILLAFE AND KITCHEN WITH SIS THE REALLY NICE NURSE LADY SHES AMAZING SHOUT OUT TO SIS

Residential staff are very rude. If they don't like you they will hurt your childern and call c.p. S.on you. Be very careful checking into this place. If your diabetic like me, good luck. Security needs to learn how to talk to people like people. If your a single parent of a toddler or infant and don't feel comfortable having them out of your site, you won't be able to eat either, Andy's #4 is a block away and will cost about $50 a day of you want to eat.

Food was good volunteers nice. The caseworker was exceptional. But I was told to call at 5: 00 to see if I was going to get a bed which I was informed earlier that I would since I just got out of the hospital because of a woman in her car hit me and I couldn't walk I ended up walking over 2 miles that day with a walker. More than likely I will need surgery again to fix the damage the walking did. And it's all good because after register I know that gets the shelter money for me needing a place to stay. And all the funds that California got from the government will go to good cause I'm sure there's some official out there that needs a new house remodeled car kid needs braces God forbid helping a guy out who just got run over by a car has no place to go and has worked all his life and if he could work now he would be but yet there's people out there in a bed have no plans on working never did doing dope all that and that's okay I don't think so.
