One of the volunteers will meet with you to unlock the gate and show you around. Volunteered w/ my coworker to help Helping Hands Pantry, specifically the gardening area. Their broccoli was ready to be harvested! One of the volunteer POCs, Paul, was kind enough to meet with me to explain the whole process. I've never harvested broccoli so this was a cool experience. All tools (knives, gloves, crates) are provided. My coworker, her daughter and I harvested 12 full crates of organic broccoli. To anyone reading this...please go to their website and sign up for a volunteer spot. This would be perfect for a school or work team building event. I challenge you to help out your local community! :) I will leave you with this... self-love is like gardening. Take time to plant yourself in sunlight and speak kind words to yourself. When you take better care of yourself, you can spread your self-love gift to the world.

I've volunteered at various food banks and this is definitely one of the more challenging ones. Packing/sorting the peaches is a messy job and either that or the onions got some type of allergen on our forearms, making us super itchy. On the box packing assembly line I was given two stations so I worked like a dog as fast/hard as I could so I wouldn't let the rest of the line down even though I probably should've taken a break. It was like an hour long cardio workout and I was drenched in sweat by the end of it, but we got A LOT of boxes packed.

I approached him first and then the rest of my Family walked up. We all had the same address and I guess since my Daughter is prettier and younger than me, he chose to just ignore me and start talking to her. He said he wanted to help so we would all need to be on one together. He then said my Dad and Daughter could pick up but continued to ignore me and be sarcastic. He made it seem like I could be on one account by myself and they would be on another one. When they walked away he told me that I am not eligible because we live in the same household. I told him to put me on the same account as them and he was very rude and said he couldn't. I am not sure if he did or not. I give them a 1 minus becauseI am a person trying to get back on my feet after an 18 year toxic relationship and was treated like dirt!! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A PERSON IS GOING THROUGH...BE NICE!!

This is the truth and I'm ashamed for this location. I have been to a few of these free commodities locations and this one has got to be helped themselves. The commodities they share are 80 percent out dated items that you should have left in the dumpster. The other items are for sale anywhere from a dollar to five dollars and some of them for sale are from the day before that were given away for free. They should reconsider what they are giving to the needy. If the items were any good they probably take them home for their families. This parent company should re-examine how this annex is representing them to the community.
