I am a victim of family/domestic violence. I came to this food pantry about a week ago. For health reasons, I have to be on the keto diet. I came towards the end, so there was only one bag left. I couldn't eat most of what was in there, so a couple of ladies were trying to find me extra food and brought me back to the kitchen. There was a group of staff in the kitchen. One of the church women wouldn't let her help me and shouted, "If you can't eat what was in the bag, then I don't know what to tell you!" Then one of the men kindly gave me his ground beef, and then she walked up to me and snatched it out of my hands and said "No means no!" I was shocked and everyone was quiet and then I asked her "Ma'am you're a member of the church?" And then she said "you need to hurry up and get your butt out of here and don't come back!" Then she chased me out the church. As I was walking out, she followed me screaming insulting me and telling me to never to come back--as if I planning to. I couldn't believe that, that happened to me. Also, that food wasn't even the church's. It was donated to them for the purpose of giving it to people in need. That same man did come outside later to give me back his ground beef, so I appreciated that. I asked him if she had a mental disability or something going on that caused her to do that and he said no. This was an awful experience. Despite the fact that some the others were friendly to me, I wouldn't advise anyone to come to this food pantry. It's unsafe.
