I really appreciate all the hard work of everybody there. In the rain, in the heat. It's hard work. Thank you. I have just one thing to say, after 10+ years of participating in the program. I frequently feel like there's an attitude where everybody treats each other like children, including everyone who picks up the food. Just heard someone say a childish type remark to another colleague as a joke, but why? Sure, you can laugh it off, but really, is it necessary? The only people who don't do this are the kind ladies who stand by the line in the parking lot with their clip boards. It gets old. Can we relearn how to treat each other in a non demeaning manner? It's not what is said, but the way it is said. Thank you.

So far I'd have to say the line is long but these people are really busting this line out I can't complain it's moving along so much faster then I even imagine it would!!! Bless these people 🙏 for being out here and helping the community it's so cold today to for them to be here outside before 7am to help people thank you so much!!!

We got there at 5am for the food bank, because even though they say it starts at 8am, if you get there at 8, the line will be so long that you won't get anything.

However, at 7:30, someone walked up and told me and 3 other vehicles that we couldn't park there, and we would have to go to the end of the line! The end of the line was all the way out on College View drive and down that street! The line behind us was 4 times longer than the amount of cars in front of us! We got there 3 hours early to guarantee we got food, because we have almost nothing right now! She had the nerve to tell me that they would get to us for sure, but I knew that was a lie! We got there 3 hours early because we had no food, only to basically get told F U.

There were 2 lines, and only 4 cars total that were told to move. That is 2 cars per line. Why couldn't you have the front cars move forward 2 car spaces each to make a little more room?! Why send people who have been here the longest all the way to the back, making them wait EVEN LONGER with an almost certainty that there will be no more food left!

Such monumentally poor management of the situation, when such an obviously more fair solution was right there. Unbelievable! Not to mention that once the food giveaway starts, there will be cars sitting right where we were anyways while the line moves!! Why did you wait until 7:30 to tell us Such utter incompetence! Thank you for nothing!
