    Easy process, great value, friendly staff. Cost less than half of what I would have paid at Staples or similar.

    So happy with the young men who joyfully receive our donations at the Truck, TY! May the Bless them…read moreand all who work to serve others!

    I want to start by acknowledging that the mission did help me get back on my feet, and I'm grateful…read morefor that. There are good staff members there, and my progress was partly because of them. That said, the organization itself--and the conduct of some staff--deserves serious scrutiny. As a nonprofit that brings in millions in donations, many of the decisions and conditions are not just confusing--they're unacceptable. There's a clear disconnect between available resources and how basic issues are handled. Take the daily "bread run" as a simple example. For nearly a year, residents had to move heavy loads through doors that wouldn't stay open, resorting to propping them with rocks. This created obvious safety risks and unnecessary hassle. The solution--a few inexpensive door stops--was ignored for months. When new doors were finally installed, one of the stops was already broken within days and, based on past patterns, will likely stay that way. It's a small issue, but it reflects a broader culture of neglect. Discipline in the men's dorm is handled in a way that feels lazy and unjust. Instead of addressing individuals responsible for misconduct, the default response is to punish everyone. During my year-long stay, the gym was open for perhaps a month total. It remained closed the rest of the time because of the actions of a few individuals. Collective punishment like this only breeds resentment and discouragement. More concerning is the handling of basic necessities like drinking water. Residents are expected to refill bottles using shower water--water that is extremely hard, comes through lines that are not properly maintained, and often sits at unsafe temperatures. I personally got sick from it, and when I raised concerns, they were dismissed outright. That's not just dismissive--it's negligent. The most serious issue, however, is staff misconduct. I personally witnessed staff taking donated items for their own use, including food and higher-value goods meant for the thrift store. Some of these items later appeared for sale online. The most blatant example was after the Christmas toy drive. While the event itself helped many families, leftover donations were not handled with integrity. One staff member alone took multiple truckloads of toys and bikes home--amounting to thousands of dollars in donated goods. This wasn't subtle, and it certainly wasn't appropriate. Donors would likely think twice if they knew how some of their contributions were being handled. There's also a fundamental issue with how residents are treated. Not everyone experiencing homelessness is struggling with addiction, yet everyone is forced into the same programming, including mandatory recovery meetings. Combined with required "skills training" labor, daily church activities, and the pressure of finding actual employment, it becomes an inefficient and often counterproductive use of time. Finally, the hypocrisy within leadership is hard to ignore. In a Christian-based program, you would expect leaders to model the behavior they require from residents. Instead, I witnessed a program leader regularly skip daily devotionals while still addressing the group afterward. That kind of inconsistency undermines any message they're trying to deliver. This mission has the resources and potential to do real good--but those strengths are being undermined by poor oversight, questionable priorities, and, in some cases, outright misconduct. Until those issues are addressed, the gap between what the organization claims to be and what it actually is will remain hard to ignore.
