QuestionAble staff/volunteers, some likely court ordered and belligerent to customers and neighbors, while apparently unsupervised, monitored, etc. Not seeing pickup location listed on website, while duplicate stock photos on Blog.

This Food Bank is the World's WORST neighbor. I live across the street from this place and their property is littered. They do not pick up ANY trash on their property and there is a ton. Currently there is a trash bag that has been busted open on their property along with cups, paper plates, cans, bottles, pillows, fast food bags etc. There is so much trash that it is not clear if the grass and bushes has TRASH or the Trash has grass and bushes. This is unacceptable on so many levels! How can the managers and employees drive past that everyday and do nothing? How can this be city property and the people who manage it are this trifling? This is dragging down our property value!

This place is amazing, well ran, and sooo organized. I want to bring my family and maybe all my co workers. We also had a really good time. There was plenty of work & people to prepare us for it. There was no standing around wondering what we could do. We thought we would be there 3 hours but our group filled all the boxes in just over an hour.

Attention Truck Drivers can not use their RESTROOM, they don’t allow truckers to use their restroom and they don’t have portable available on site. Management should take serious Note on this

If you ask for a five dollor donation per car half of the people would throw a fit and stop coming there and even curse you out.

Seems like it should be a good place. But refused to accept a donation from my truck. And the guy that was refusing it couldn't have been any more rude.

The curbside is so good. Fresh veggies and low prices. Can't forget the friendly faces. What a wonderful idea they have. Can't wait for them to be able to do it again.

It's a great way to help your community by packing food and supplies for people who don't know where their next meal will come from

One of the best places to volunteer. Take a group with you from work or friends. I went with ten of my colleagues. You do not have to be from a work group.

This is an amazing place to spend your time volunteering. It is clean, orderly and has such a big impact on the community. I wish my group could have spent more time at this location. Definitely recommend helping in any way you can.

Awesome, very spacious, well-organized food bank in Northeast. I haven't seen all the functions at this facility but it's clear it's pretty busy they and their processes are pretty seamless. I highly recommend volunteering through their website.

Friendly, fun and easy. Easy online sign up and record keeping of your volunteer hours.

TASKS: We sorted canned food, assembled cardboard boxes, and created family food kits.

FACILITY: It's clean, lockers are available for coats and things, lots of parking, and a nice break room with vending machines. Clean bathrooms. Consider bringing work gloves. Wear closed-toe shoes and well fitting work clothes for safety. Teens must be accompanied by parent or guardian.

Bring your lunch if working for the day because there are no quick food restaurants nearby.

Love the new building but parking is a problem. It can be hard to find but the new sign out front definitely helps.
