My group was assigned to the pasta station. It was pretty straightforward and simple. The CFB employees were helpful and very nice. Everything was easygoing, and they made sure we completed everything on time. It's honestly always been a good experience every time I've come here. The work that they do is very inspiring. I am grateful to have some small part in helping with the food insecurity in NJ. I would definitely recommend volunteering here.

After a while, when it was almost my turn, a guy--he said his name was John--came up to me and told me I couldn't wait in the left line because it was only for their company trucks. He said I had to move to the right line and go all the way back to the end. I tried talking to the guy inside the building, showed them that I was first on their check-in list, tried explaining it to John, but they didn't care. They saw me waiting in the left line since I arrived, but nobody told me anything until it was almost my turn.

As 1 of your non-profit member agencies, please help with our education of how to utilize your recent distribution (quarterly) of: -TWINKIES-numerous cases of -Light Popcorn-48 large bags -Rice -Juice -Cereal-Crispy Rice -Soup-Sole Protein,canned-Chicken noodle, 6 cs. -Mac&cheese, 8 single serving cups -Frozen items-including large lamb cut (1 only) As our non-profit serves our countys' low income seniors housing plus many other deserving individuals and families (60+) , was the above list our "access to sufficient sources of nutritious foods essential to building sustainable healthy communities" that confirms your "belief that no one should ever go hungry"? How are we to "improve the health and nutrition of our low income seniors"? Once again, there seems to be a disconnect between your federally funded "SUNShine boxes" program ("Serving Under Nourished Seniors") allocation: -Cereal -Juice -Vegetables, canned -Fruits, canned -Milk, evaporated -Pasta -Peanut Butter -Protein (Beef, Chicken, or Tuna) -Cheese and our non-profits quarterly food distribution. A reconnect on Second Harvests' part by distributing more nutritious foods remains critical to sustain our communitys' health! Without the above, the financial burden to close the nutritious resources gap continues to fall on our non-profits' shoulders. Being True to your Mission Statements will then earn you more stars.

This food bank is really good - the best one I have ever seen. High quality foods from Whole Foods,…read moreShop Rite, Costco, Trader Joes and other local stores. Excellent pastries and cakes. Milk, eggs, cheese. Fresh produce also - some from local stores. Toiletry items are also available. Staff is 100% helpful and respectful.

The Food Bank is not supposed to be your main source or food - it is just supposed to give you a few pantry items to supplement the food you buy yourself.

Here's what happened in Chronological order: Love Bombing and Boundary Crossing Refusing to respect when i said No At the same time given Abnormal Privileges like access to Employee and Volunteer only areas Being given priority over other people in need, and right in front of them Being given other people's donations Personal Space Violations, 2 or 3 of the male Volunteers violated my Personal Space by walking extremely close to me, and usually behind me. Triggered the shit out of me. Put me on High Defense. DON'T EVER COME WITHIN ARMS LENGTH OF A WOMAN WITHOUT HER PERMISSION AND NEVER EVER APPROACH A WOMAN FROM BEHIND ITS COMMON SENSE They clearly don't care whether i feel safe or not. Directors Ego, kept insisting i give him attention. I was avoiding the Director on purpose because he has bad vibes. So he'd search me out to make sure he was acknowleged. That only put me off even more. Found out about the Privacy Violations Some staff was telling others private information about me , and information that put me in jeopardy, like that im living in my Vehicle, and where i was staying. And other sensitive information. I never would have consented to that, but they never asked me anyway. Interrogated me every visit, putting me in the Hot Seat and making me EXTREMELY DEFENSIVE AND ALERT. This alone nearly made me flee for safety reasons. That same staff member also asked my underwear size.i didn't give it, and said i didn't need it, so the staff member bought underwear anyway and tried to get me to take it in front of others. I didn't. Same staff member offered me her username and password to her personal online account. I quickly dodged that bullet. Numerous Staff and Volunteers seemed to very much dislike me for no reason. I thought at first maybe its because i was being given wierd Privileges like to walk behind the scenes. But that's probably not what it really was. I got some dirty looks, one staff member walking away disinterested while i was talking about what being homeless is like, and lots of fakeness from some others. I found that only a handful treated me like a person. Mostly i was treated like i was inferior, and / or detested. And that my safety, comfort, preferences, and boundaries mean nothing. The Last day i went, a few interesting things happened. i finally used the access privilege and walked around looking for someone, a Volunteer spoke with me to arrange helping me repair my Vehicle and setting up an employment interview in a field i used to work in and Loved. While that conversation was taking place, the Director stormed into that Office, visually very angry, and pulled the Manager into his office. When the Manager came back she told me she had a project for me. She later walked me to a wall in the Warehouse and told me that there was a complaint of an odor, and that the Director wanted me to leave and go take a Shower at a male Volunteers building. That was the last thing i was going to experience from them. i grabbed my purse and bolted out of the Food Bank, ne'er to return. It very much looked like the Director thought that i was under his command, or in debt to him in some way, and must do as he dictates. Incorrect. And the last thing i would do is make myself THAT vulnerable to those i do not know, males LEAST OF ALL. This was the Biggest Red Flag, waving High in the Sky. Idecided its best to not have any affiliation with that Food Bank at all, and take no more donations. To cut the ties. I responded to a Text from the Manager saying some of what i typed here, airing some Complaints, and then stopped communicating. After all that, the Manager: *Gave out my Phone number *Tried to reopen the door by sending a donation my way. I refused it. I have never in my Life had to go through so much for a little Food. It's just not Worth it. Go somewhere that's Healthy to be. This place will take a serious toll on your mental health and may even lead to disaster. And don't EVER think that you owe anyone anything in exchange for donations. That's how they get ya. You don't owe them anything at all. The donations are INTENDED for you. You don't owe anyone any Favors, or Obedience. Just say Thank You and LEAVE

People think of the Main Line as exclusively wealthy, and it isn't. There is poverty, it is more well hidden, though. They provide food for those who need it, personal care items, often clothing. They've provided literacy programs, computer literacy and reading. They will help people apply for benefits, and they actively work with other agencies to find housing, help with utilities, education, social supports and more. They're located in the former Narberth School building, on the second floor. There's a good sized parking lot and some on-street parking, and thanks to ramps they are fully handicapped accessible. The location is within a block of the 44 Bus stop and they are about 5 blocks from the Narberth Train Station. They accept donations of food and personal care items. Note that when they are closed they have bins outside their door for non-perishable donations, and for perishable items they will make arrangements to accept your donation if you need to come at another time. It's a great organization that serves the community well. I am happy they are there, and glad to support them.

Eventually I drove with a partner to make deliveries until the morning I packed my trunk with 8/15 pd. bags and whoops! took several weeks to recover (perhaps @85 years old it was time to hand this over to another volunteer!)

My husband and I visited many churches in the city, mostly Episcopal but also other denominations that others had recommended. We were dismayed at how unwelcoming many were. We would attend coffee hour and stand around waiting for someone to acknowledge our existence. People just talked to their friends. Often even the priest didn't speak to us. We were delighted to discover St. Peter's. The congregation and the clergy are friendly and inclusive. Everyone is welcome. The preaching is excellent and pertinent. The music program is fantastic. The church and grounds are lovely and well maintained. It has a lot of history to it. There is something for everyone here. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you will feel welcomed at St. Peter's.

They played for two hours without taking a break Winard's drumming is some of the best I have heard - he truly plays with heart and soul and it is clear that jazz is his life. Rounding out the band was lead guitar, bass, trumpet, piano, saax, and bongo. Wish I could give you all the band members names (but I can't) as each one of them individually was masterful and together produced an evening of pure excellence. If you get the opportunity to attend a performance I suggest you make your way there quickly. We often attend Jazz Night at the Michener Museum in Doylestown PA and Winard Harper & Jeli Posse would be a great addition to their offerings. #Winard Harper & Jeli Posse #The Michener Museum
