The check in process is easy and I can do all the paperwork before I arrive so the wait time is minimal before being brought back to donate. I have had very good experiences with all of the people drawing my blood. They are skilled, efficient, friendly and professional. I am usually in and out within 45 minutes. I do wish they had more zero sugar drink options as well as healthy snacks when I am finished. I always want to have a snack but don't want to eat sugary or fatty snacks. Carrots and hummus or string cheese or something like that would be easy to keep in the fridge with the drinks. I love all of the promotions they have and love knowing I am making a difference. Easy parking!

Lori followed us out to our car. She looked so mean and did not once talk to my husband and me. She just talked to our daughter. Lori asked my daughter where the sticker price tag came from? That my daughter needs to put it back. Who does that? It's a price tag. There were numerous things in the store that didn't have a price tag. We didn't complain. The lady held my daughter's hand and said, "Are you going to cry?" That's so rude and disrespectful. She kept on saying, "Are you going to cry?" to a 1-year-old? My daughter says a few words. She doesn't know how to talk. My husband and I felt so sad when Lori did that to our daughter. The lady never apologized for her actions. My husband went back inside to tell Lori that what she did was wrong. You don't touch other people's children and yell at them. My daughter didn't break anything. She was happy looking for a dresser for her room. But my daughter ended up crying over a lady bullying her.

One little Tortie calico started cozying up to me. shy be willing. She looked like a kitten, so I made a deal with her. mind the rodent population in the barn and you can stay. not more than two weeks passed and I went to my bard to find 5 fuzzy little kittens staring at me. Who was the mom!? Not that tiny kitten I've been adopted by??? YES! They were indeed hers and another week later, she had gone and left them to me to care for! Of the Three who lived to be old enough to have spayed, I was able to get them treated on vouchers issued from C.F.A. And together we put the brakes on spreading the population and diseases. The three are thriving near and around my little minifarm. catching voles and rats and once in a while allowing me a full on cuddle session.

Recently I've been seeing GRuB volunteers in my neighborhood building free victory gardens for low income neighbors. The victory gardens are raised beds that include soil and plants provided by GRuB and paid with community donations. I was talking to some of the volunteers in passing. It turns out that each garden is 'worth' $1,000 if you're including materials, labor, and gas to transport. I'm very impressed with how many neighbors they've been able to help.

Completely in agreement with the other reviews. Grub is an excellent asset to the community. I…read morehave now been there four times for classes, both cooking and educational. The kitchen is well equipped and well labeled. There is a five burner cooktop in the center island which is ample enough to handle most cooking tasks. It is a multi-use facility that provides space for classes for the local schools and outdoor programs dealing with gardening. It something can be grown in this climate someone at Grub can give you pointers on how to best grow it. They have programs for veterans, school kids and home gardeners, as well as programs where a home gardener can get a raised bed for a reduced price, and in some cases for free. There are programs dealing with local, native plants as well as other types of gardening, composting and most anything to deal with pest control and how to utilize your harvest. Grub is community focused and you know it after spending a very short period of time there. Grub is the kind of asset that any community would be proud to have.
