Very grateful for the food! God blessed! Thanks for organizing all this. But the volunteer do have an attitude. There are only 3 people in the line, so I tried to take my aunt and take a short cut from their parking lot, coz she can’t walk too fast with the after-surgery knees. When we are almost there, this Volunteer she literally chases we away from their parking lot and yelled to must have you start from the gate..? We explained that we’re either cutting in lines nor against any rules but she still holds an angry face and looks at us as if we’re low life and has no dignity. My aunt’s very sad, my heart’s broken when seeing her sad. Anyways, still appreciate and pray to god that we’re fed, but please I’m begging for some understanding and sympathy ‍
Grateful for the food but the staff here has extreme superiority issues. You're a volunteer bud, calm down. They will actually try and tell you that you cannot stand on a public sidewalk, and 5 of them will accost you if you don't move. It's pathetic in all honesty.
As a pensioner no one will ever let you know that the Gordon Neighborhood house food bank had closed at the beginning of COVID19 and was deemed condemn to never reopen. So 3 years pass and hoping that it would soon reopen. To no avail as the entire Westend residents whom had food insecurities were not informed in any shape or informed about the fact that the Vancouver food bank main office had changed the manner in which the food distribution was to operate. I was told that the program was existent for all the residents of the Westend at a location near the downtown area. I am truly uncomfortable in divulging it's location because it is not for me to open up it's location for the issue of the utmost respect towards the volunteers and the same in the manner in which the operation is serving many in dire needs my spewing the place would create more trouble than it doesn't deserved. There's a process by which anyone can be assessed. It really is a very very great service and I am truly fortunate to have been able to go to this place for relief and destress from the lack of basic necessity. There's two facts that defines our lives in Vancouver. Those whom have it all blind to the ones who now have nothing more than what is the waste from the upper hand gaining priority the ability in the ignorance of us. No more middle class Other you buy the unwanted food from Nester or IGA even Whole food past due date ending in No Frills store Or keep buying butter at 8.75 Organically grown fruits & vegetables from the market on weekends while the junky in the park nearby is bathing in his own fleeces and what you're unaware of is the person who you deemed a sore to your eyesight is a friend's son or daughter whom never ever spoken of her daily gloom and doomed decent into the rabbit hole the hellish crisis that voluntary or not actively has the greatest maliciously malicious salacious slithering sense of entitlement gifted with a veil of deceit precludes its might to lure grasp and fangled itself on the minds of each of its victims and in a instance a single breath enchanting a feel that will ensure that even the soul has bled dryer in a way it's never ever given a flow of light as a well enough it brewed darker than the abbyss voided of waste is full of deaths in the depth of Noth in a cloak made of hollowed dust
some of the volunteer are incompetent, I’ve had people cutting off in front of me in the line. when I brought it up to the volunteers, they didn’t do anything about it except giving me attitude for telling them. Sabrina the manager is completely useless with a bad attitude and the French Canadian guy with glasses as a severe power trip problem. A volunteer came up to me when I was sitting 150 meter from the food bank door waiting for it to open and they told me to move, cause I was too close to a near by business.
The volunteers were very beautiful and kind all the staff was accommodating helpful and I even got some real meat to eat this is a non-judgmental place I'm disabled and hearing impaired no shaming and judging just happiness and kindness and everybody was so friendly please support the greater Vancouver food Bank. Mom's Strawberry Patch prevention of seniors and animal neglect supports this initiative please everybody support the Vancouver food Bank kindest regards Betty AKA Diamond Jade mom's strawberry patch prevention of seniors and animal neglect pilot project Community for all I support this initiative.
Vancouver struggles every week with the amount of people they help. For me a single middle age male there is not much but they do a great job helping seniors and young children first. I'm 100% behind that and dont complain. It's also a hard location. Big props to volunteers.
Very grateful for this place that I had to visit last week. I was happy to see that they had lots of plant based foods to offer, which is just fine for me. Thank you very much. There was a long lineup but didn't take long to get through at all.
It's totally worth it the long trip. Besides being a great help when you are of short money, they give enough food for the week and good variety. I was impressed.
The kind stuff and helpful nature providing food is great
Very nice and amazing people food bank to help people I love them so much
