DO NOT REMOVE POST ALL INFORMATION IS TRUE AND CORRECT, I AM providing is a direct impact it had it currently has on a family: everything being written is a true factual statement - family facing threats to their safety due to circumstances they were not aware of, a part of, nor welcomed where forced out to fend for themselves after a discrepancy the Salvation Army coordinatior and said Captain refused to aid or allow the mother whose in fear for their safety provide all documents in a very timely to clear her of any and all matters regarding a discrepancy. To any and all donors, they not help us they told us out as soon as we fail to get to a meeting where they sit behind a desk and telk you "help yourself", here's your homework, we are not mentally stable enough to be on time, to be extremely neat, to not be up at night worried someone can be waiting outside for you, we dont even have enough to eat but demand the world from us. I have clear and proof documentation of how the organization really treats woman and risks the safety of their children. No one came

The people working there are very nice and helpful but most foods offered by this location are pretty much either spoiled or expired ( not only within a day or two but some EXPIRED FOOD were offered within two or three weeks of their expiration date! I went there on February 5th /25 and I picked up dairy with an expiration date for January 17th 2024! I picked up a expired cottage cheese expired milk expired low-fat milk and expired the ricotta cheese without realizing the expired dates while I was putting them in the Cart I found out they were all expired prior to try and storing them in the fridge! I have posted pictures of three expired dairy products which were offered (Maybe population control rather than help feed healthy food)! And this is not the only Food Bank offering expired Dairy and other Foods, most churches do the same and they all claim no we never offer expired food. Please read the dates on the items you pick up especially meat and dairy product, I will too from now on! True, they offer many expired Foods as many food banks across the country but some foods such as certain canned food hold after their expiration date but please do not offer dairy or meat products that are spoiled and expired which may cause food poisoning.

Both of my girls have gone to this school and we love it. They have low class sizes and great ratios something like 4:1 most of the time. Each class has 3 adults and under 15 students. My girls have thrives and learned to read and count. The school provides a lovely and supportive community.
