The most unfriendly church I've ever experienced. My wheelchair-bound mom & I attended a service. My mom introduced herself at prompt from Elder. At conclusion of service, NONE of members came over to introduce themselves to her. Their food bank operation is a farce. The so-called volunteers are too busy selecting the high-quality items for themselves. On days when they announce "No Meats," you can bet the alleged volunteers aren't going home without meats; they don't even hide the boxes/carts they've prepared for themselves. Go to restroom, you'll walk past their meat-heavy boxes---or look around the corner from dessert table. One deacon (Harris) ,however, stands out for Godly service.

I'm not happy at all this church has people handing out boxes of food but the catch to that is they give you what they want to pick out of and then tell you you have to be on disability or be labeled as disabled and have documentation now I've never known a church to do this but hey there is a lot of things going on wrong in these churches clean up Church clean up anybody should be able to get a box. Homeless whatever they are advise the pastors to clean up the churches because we have a lot of Satan's walking around that act godly but are not

Wonderful foodbank. Helps with bread stuff, meats, sometimes fresh vegetables. Only issue is average length of time it. Takes for anything to start. Line/serving area efficiency and management could be definitely worked on. Staff very friendly.

I went on one of the two days that they do there for Food Bank ( they hold them, as far as I was told ever Tuesday and Thursday. I was AMAZED at the sheer amount of dedication, commitment, willingness to help the community and eagerness to work towards a common goal. I was impressed with the staff, and shocked the sheer amount of food that they provided me. I cannot begin to say thank you enough to all the people there, and to those whom donated the resources! Blessed be to y'all.
