Frequently the produce is quite rotten. Majority of "food" provided is junk food, old carbs,…read moreexpired can food, bread and cereal... Seriously the take home has been not even worth fetching. I take offense when the potatoes and onions are stinking and rotten. My review was edited after I posted my question about the ethics of getting tax write offs for distributing rotten food to the community. This is a CHARITY and the fact that they are offing food to the people that is really only qualified for the dumpster AND getting paid to do so IS NOT ETHICAL... Why not just set up big troughs and make us wade thru it like pigs? In MY book, people deserve better than animal feed quality!

Randal is an excellent Master Plumber. He knows what he is doing, explains things patiently, and…read morewhen on the phone or at your home, is respectful. But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience.
