The hardest thing for me not many can guide you or inform you the people to take you to temporary housing and then permanent housing. Majority of people are not aware of the process it is not instant and takes time for myself and my brother it's almost a year and finding out people discriminate on the homeless whether it's a racist issue or stereo types it is sad we need kindness forward to try to make a little impact of a smile and saying good morning no one is better than other but the true kindness of the heart is priceless. Happy Holidays and always appreciate and thank God you are above being close to poverty you never know if that happens to you but be grateful.

I tried over the summer and was told they were at capacity and wouldn't accept clothes for another 3 months. I tried calling ahead of time but no one ever answers. I advised them to at least notify on their website to avoid making the trip out there. I then attempted to donate a few months later, again, no answer on the phone. Once I arrived they said they extended not accepting donations for a few more months because they were still full. After a few more months, I attempted one more time. Only to arrive and find out there was no staff available (during regular business hours) due to an off-site training! Needless to say, their communication could be better. It took 4 separate visits to finally be able to donate. With all that being said, I hope the clothes go to people who really need it and it helps them in their journey.

I wanted to donate a box of lemons from my fruit tree this morning. VFB opens at 8:00 am and I…read morearrived at 8:05. The front door was unlocked, so I entered. The front desk was unmanned. I walked through the office to a door that led to the warehouse and saw a person out there through the window. Not wanting to make trouble by entering what was probably a restricted area (and now thinking donations might be received at the loading dock), I walked around the building to the dock. When I got in there, I didn't see anybody. I walked around the entire facility, even reentering the office area, but saw no-one. I called "Hello?" loudly in the warehouse area and the office area, but nobody responded. I went back to my car, got the box of lemons and left it on the front desk. I hope it goes to some people who need it. This is a sharp contrast with the MEND food bank nearby, which fell all over themselves to take my fruit tree donations.

We have nothing to lose but our chains." - Assata Shakur An unexpected visit to the valley brought me over to Mural Mile. Having checked my Yelp bookmarks while in the area, I decided to stop by and have a look. My passion for street art and murals was deeply satisfied by this gem of an area. There was a little of everything and it was fun exploring. Many of the murals incorporate street art with sociopolitical figures such as Frida Kahlo, Assata Shakur, and Toypurina. Several of these murals evoked feelings of awe and wonder. The colors were so vibrant. Some led to self interpretation. While I didn't get to see every single mural, it was a great visit overall . I would've stayed longer but it was a hot day. I highly recommend a visit here whenever one is in the area. Coincidentally enough, today (07/16) is Assata Shakur's birthday.

They offer services without discrimination, aiming to meet immediate needs and address root causes of poverty in communities nationwide. This is one of the reasons why I donate to this location...it makes me feel good knowing I am helping out my community. The inside of the store is quite large with racks of clothes separated by sizes and gender. It is very neat & clean. They also sell used furniture, accessories, books and more. Donations are excepted daily during regular business hours. Plenty of parking in the lot. **Donation Drop offs - located in the back ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

He beat me, raped me, stole everything I owned and accused me of being worthless. I ran away from him, only to encounter several of his type on the streets. The workers at this shelter have been angels to me. I love them all, especially the manager, Kay, who is constantly busy and never says she is too busy to listen, my PC, Marilyn, who is setting the example of who I want to be more like, and Gloria, because she's a quintessential female badass. There are many great counselors here, who are helping me build up my self-worth, piece by piece. If they were among the King's horses and men, Humpty Dumpty WOULD be back together again. There are few male staff members, but they are all class and restore my faith that not all men should be considered sub-human. Our maintenance worker, Ricky, is here everyday and works very hard to make the place nice for us and always treats us with the highest respect and professionalism. I would give this place five stars, but the food is awful and would be much better if kitchen staff could prepare it, instead if rewarming crappy food a caterer brings. Also, there is a policy of laissez-faire, related to women stealing from each other, even though there are ample cameras to identify the thieves and subjecting them to termination. My abuser stole everything I ever got he could sell for a dime, so when these women do it, who I could physically stand up to for myself, it is a huge trigger for me, and I'm lucky the staff here has managed to diffuse my anger and redirect it thus far.
