While I don't like the situation I'm in where I have to rely on going to these, I can appreciate the kindness of everyone here and the volunteers. They are friendly, kind people and always give you plenty of food. While the line can go slow, they are quite helpful to your needs letting you pick from a list of different foods and you usually get quite a bit of the food you selected. I appreciate them greatly and they are a Godsend. Much recommended to anyone in dire straights.
