Alert!!! under new management and went from exceptional to trash overnight! The new management…read moredoesn't care and doesn't have a clue how to run a food pantry. They are only concerned with getting financial donations! The food I got under new management was poor quality basically someone's trash. Expired food, moldy stale bread, un marked tin cans, and repackaged raw meat with no labels. one client showed me a rodent had chewed on the corner of a food box - she said be careful to me. Oh even more disgusting is The leadership was rude and condescending to many other clients, treated a handful like they were trash! It disgusted me to witness . The former director Paul truly cared! Now it's just a nasty place! Wow they don't run things orderly anymore. It was chaos in line. The new director clueless Mikey and the other leadership team were standing around - the director was talking down to while ordering a very elderly volunteer around! Yikes - you could see the stress and anger flowing from Mikey. I believe that old guy quit that night. Hostile Hostile Hostile - So much so I couldn't stay a second day in such a hostile place. One of the volunteers, an older crass woman, was making racist remarks as some of the clients of color were exiting. It was soo sickening it hurt deeply I just left. I didn't want to be anywhere around that place. I'm in need and I left hungry. I will never go back to that location. I hear the church is suing Paul personally for $50,000.00 plus and all for their own chaos - it's clear to me who is causing problem! It is soo sickening to hear of the church's unthinkable actions against Paul!!! It is well known he has volunteered there for at least 25yrs - that action against him alone shows they only care about money.All the rest I've commented on only reinforced that thought in my mind. I bet they are drinking the food banks cash flow dry Their own little or not so little piggy bank. Any way you slice it - it smells!

Maryland Food Bank thrives off of weekend volunteer hours for packers in their conveyor belt area to box canned goods and boxed foods as they'd otherwise have to bill these hours to payroll. I enjoyed myself and even got in a little cardio as the belt moved more and more foodstuffs through. I was in charge of canned veggies and boy were there lots of them. It was a good time and I can't wait to go back!

The generosity of their program, including the special New Digs, turned a difficult personal transition into a godsend. Every staff member I've encountered is super kind.
