"This too is getting out of hand. I too am a resident and we have hundreds of people lined up in the morning blocking the sidewalk. The line resembles a rock concert and we don't need the noise and commotion on this other wise quiet and tranquil neighborhood. Since there are no bathrooms present, the people look for places to urinate which end up on peoples properties. I understand helping the people of the community but most of these people are not from the community. There needs to be a better outreach program! People discard the fruits and vegetables they don't want on the sidewalk. When it's time to throw away unwanted vegetables and fruits, it's left on the sidewalk for days until Sanitation comes to pick up. There has to be a better system. These people don't live in the community and the church staff and members do not live in the community as well. We the community have to deal with this. It is not right!"

"This food pantry helps so many people in need. My family and my friends are very grateful to the whole team that organizes all this, especially pastor Benjamin. Yeshua Church brings people together and is very friendly to new parishioners."

"This parish is atrocious. Since Ben has taken over, it spiraled downward. The food pantry line blocks public sidewalks, driveways, and walkways. Furthermore, they discard the food they don't want on the street or neighbors' trash bins. The garbage piles up on the side and is unpleasant to walk past and smell. Ben is far from being a good neighbor. They have plenty of space on their property to have the people wait for food. And when you approach Ben about it he claims "you're racist!" The truth is Ben is stubborn in his way and does not work with the neighbors. He doesn't live here, so it's not his concern. I've reached out to councilman Robert Holden regarding this issue and nothing seems to be getting done. Everything about this church is a cancer to our community. Place the food pantry in a better suited area."

"I AM A RESIDENT OF residential street That you have people lined up on almost every other day of the WEEK!!!!! NOT ONLY Do I find EXCESSIVE amounts of garbage that I have to clean up every day due to your church having people lined up on a RESIDENTIAL STREET and infront of HOMES!!!!!!!! I also have to hear on my day OFF noise right out my window of people being loud, safety guards yelling at people or people SITTING in the FRONT of my home and blocking my driveway as well!!!!!!! I CANT and WE ALL WHO LIVE ON THE BLOCK CANT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CANNOT LINE these people up by Barn or MET FOOD!?!? THOSE ARE COMMERCIAL STREETS AND YOU HAVE SAFETY GUARDS ALREADY DIRECTING THEM!!!!!!! I AM NOT AGAINST YOUR CAUSE OF FEEDING PEOPLE, but you can ALTERNATE YOUR WAYS OF DOING IT, WITHOUT disturbing the homeowners and your neighbors. WHY wont you just move them by the pharmacy block which is ALREADY BUSY!?! And the STORES!?! Why infront of our homes!?????!!!!"

"Absolutely amazing congregation! Very loving and caring community! Even though ethnic in structure it is a Spirit filled and Bible based Church that welcomes everyone regardless of caste, creed and color! Glory to God for the prophetic and sound doctrinal expositions. Great place for fellowship and mutual growth! Strong ties to the South Indian cultures and historical traditions are a plus point here!"
