Donations are welcome. You can do a donation with credit card, venmo, or your time. Or if you can't give anything that is okay as well. This concept was interesting to me and I have heard some of my friends talk about this place. With the rising costs of food and well just about everything these days, opted to go and give it a try. There is a tight parking lot, seems like it would be hard to get in and out of though especially if you have a higher profile vehicle. There is also some street parking available. Be sure to bring your reusable bags. Well unless you want to use a box. They do provide them but then there is something large to have to recycle. They are open 3 days a week for limited hours so be sure to check they are open when you want to go. Upon arriving there was a line. Which sounds like is the norm. They can only have so many people inside at one time. It is a smaller space and i can see where it would not be fun to have a bunch of people on top of you. The line moved fairly quickly however. When you do get to the door a volunteer will ask you how many people you are shopping for (how big is your household) you just tell them whatever the number is and then you go in. Its a small warehouse type building. There is some shelving and you just proceed to move around and get what you need. Of course try to be respectful of the fact that there are multiple other people who are also looking for food. They had volunteers restocking items while i was there. There is always going to be different stuff as it will depend on what locations are giving away at the time. Today i was able to find some gluten free breads for my daughter and then some organic regular bread and bagels for my husband and son. Also some salad dressings, some vegan dairy items and regular dairy items, some canned veggies and a few peppers and grapefruit. Was able to snag a dozen eggs which i was excited about for the family. Not for myself as i am vegan. Anyhow, overall it did seem worth the trip and i will be back again in the future. I will probably also look into volunteering as well. This seems like a worth cause i could get behind.

As a person with a disability that is not visible I have attempted to shop on Wednesdays when services are suppose to provide easier access to seniors and those with disabilities. Despite documenting the disability in their intake documentation, and after standing in line for about 45 minutes, the volunteer at the front desk looked at my age and informed me I wasn't a senior and should not be there shopping that day. The sad part is how loud her voice carried across the entire line of clients. I informed her I had a disability and informed her it was documented in their intake paperwork. Every subsequent visit has been a repeat to the intake person questioning why I am there shopping that day. I finally gave up trying to show up on Wednesdays. Not all disabilities are physical and visible. My question is why senior citizens aren't required to give proof of age every time they shop, or asked to verify if they are seniors? Once their age is recorded they are given a green light but someone with a disability has to request the same treatment as seniors because the volunteers are forming a judgement because they aren't seeing a physical disability.

We have been there in multiple capacities. -As a patron -as a donor -as a volunteer -for tours with girl scouts and homeschool groups Many many years ago, my family utilized the food bank as a patron and we were so very thankful for the food. They had a variety of stuff that i could find even with special dietary needs of gluten free, vegan, vegetarian. Produce was usually fine and most anything we got was tasty. I have donated food there. Whether for girl scout cookie donations or donations just for other times throughout the year. Donating is a very easy process. They have a lot of hours available to donate. You go in the donation door. And bring your food in. They will have you put your food/donations on a scale and then you can get a tax donation receipt if you would like it. Because of being so thankful for the years of food the food bank had provided for my younger family, I have been thankful to volunteer for this organization. I have brought my girl scout troop here many times to volunteer, homeschool community and also a local womans group. The volunteer coordinator is easy to work with and the jobs are always varied and interesting. There is always a lot to do! Lastly i have brought groups here for tours. Not everyone knows or understands what the food bank does and I thought it was important for my girl scouts and also some folks from homeschool community to be able to hear about it. The tour guides were always engaging and made it interesting and memorable for those that i brought. I am very thankful for this organization and their mission of feeding people.
