I went to donate 3 bags of clothes at the The Mission at Kern County last Friday, and they made the…read morewhole process super easy and welcoming. I also went back today to volunteer, and they gave us a tour around the facility and showed us how everything operates. It was really impressive seeing how much they've grown since they first opened and all the different ways they help the community. I really respect what they're doing and what they're working toward for the community. Definitely would volunteer and help out again.

They'll feed you if you're hungry no questions asked. You just gotta wait your turn. FYI Women and…read morepeople with disabilities or children eat first. So get your ticket and get in line early. I'd say if dinner is the most packed time so get in line early, ideally around 3:30-4:00pm because sometimes they'll run out of the chicken and you'll get the chicken Patties instead of the actual deep fried chicken. There's a lot of homeless people here that will bicker and smoke cigarettes in line while you're waiting. Some of them will smell because they haven't showered but everyone usually calms down when they're in the cafeteria. They need volunteers. If they are short staffed then it takes longer to get fed.

I asked flood to help me I'm on the street and I have 3 small puppies..they refused to help because…read moreI have my 3 dogs..I'm 63 yrs old and displaced..my dogs are my babies .and they have helped other people with pets..so why not me! If you ask me..this place is a joke..only choosing to help certain people ..that is favoritism.. I have congestive heart failure now and still on the street. What kind of minestries would leave a elderly woman with health issues just because she has on too many dogs..my dogs are house trained! This place is a joke..they shouldn't be able to pick and choose as they do..especially when I see other others with animals getting shelter ..what ever happened to the claim from them to not discremat I'm sorry but I see them as useless

I live on the property on oak Street. It is the old red roof inn…read more This place is nothing but a joke. I've been here for 6 months. My next door neighbor is an alcoholic and continues to harass me, I don't feel safe in my own home. I have complained several times and nothing had happened. The other day this girl punches me in the back, do you think any thing has been done about it, no nothing. I'm 55 years old and this last is in her late 30s. Also my air conditioner hasn't been working, the seal on my toilet has broke and is leaking every where. Since the first day I moved in there has been a big leak in my bathroom it comes from the roof so they have taken my roof down 3 times now and replaced it and because they don't no where the leak is coming from. I also do not have a copy of my lease which I have asked for over and over and for some reason they will not give me my copy. I've been nothing but patient with housing authority and flood. They are some of the rudest people, they change rules on us they say one thing and then change it to another. I'm not too sure what I need to do at this point but just because I was homeless does not mean these people have the right to treat me like I'm an animal, I'm a human being that does nothing but have the most utmost respect for these people.

I love that this facility is pretty big so if you're someone who always decides to donate blood last minute, you can just pop in for a walk in b/c they always have space. (They also have pretty nice incentives like free fair tickets or to CALM). The staff that poke you do it so swiftly that it's practically painless too! I've always been so afraid to get my blood drawn from one of my arms because I've had horrible experiences in the past where my arm has infiltrated / become so bruised at other places (and they've told me I was a hard stick lol ?!), but they get it every time I'm here!
