So far i cant really judge, i have to wait 2 weeks just to actuallly talk to someone. Which suck. Goodthing i dont have an emergency housing situation because this is not the place. And one location only gives out resources, so be mindful of which you go to.

Forced me to wear a mask even though I'm fully vaccinated and not tested positive. Very disrespectful.

Can staff be fired for putting hands on the people without permission?

Didi Falkman | Aug 19, 2021
Didi Falkman | Aug 19, 2021

I didn't do anything or cause any trouble. I was closing a car door, and a staff member held my door so I couldn't close it, and also when I was trying to get my stuff that was handed to me by my husband, a staff member pushed me back and would not allow me to get my stuff handed to me by my husband. I actually warned her that she had absolutely no permission to put her hands on me or to touch my car door. I was sitting in the back seat of my Mother in law's car and she literally tried to take the door off the hinges when I tried to close it. Someone else told me that that is kidnapping charges! That's considered mental anguish! I want people to know what I went through.

Does your son or daughter need tutoring in Reading, writing essays, etc.and Grades K-Masters in English, Business, Education? I am a Specialist in Reading and Essays for over 30 years with a Doctorate in both. I offer reasonable rates for students.

I would be careful with this. It's more than likely someone making money on the side. Mostly all services provided by Interfaith is free.

Jan McDaniel | Aug 19, 2021

BS. I volunteer regularly with the homeless shelter at interfaith what you're saying is not true. Interfaith does not do what you allege. If you guys going out it's because of some other reason. Typically If people are ejected, it's because of severe behavioral problems.

I was wondering if you are open today, if so what hours you keeping for the holiday. Website says hours may be different due to the holiday.

Jan Roche | Aug 19, 2020
Daniel Sturman | Aug 19, 2020

Their inpatient program does. I would assume the same for the Detox.

I see you take donations of women's clothing. I see it says "new" condition. I assume this means "like new". Is this correct? Also, is there a drop off for these in Rancho Bernardo, like Temple Adat Shalom? thank you.

marsha orman | Aug 19, 2020
Kelsea Sophia B. | Apr 21, 2022
