"My kid attends the daycare. We LOVE it and will be sad when we have to leave."

"I've been here couple of times with my friend. At first I was kind of shy, but the people here are so wholesome. There is programs for everyone, they range on your age. Everyone struggles to make friends or establish good relationships with new people. Here is very different though, everyone is cool, and even the staff are great here. There is no sanitation issues in this place, everything is tidy and beautiful... this place is very calming and relaxing. This place is AMAZING! Apart from all of that, there is church and it is very good and the community is healthy and fun. They have a variety of things such as Guitar lessons, and there is a basketball court to play in, there are drums... so many things."

"The store is very organized and has different kinds of things. Usually thrift stores smell weird but this place amazed me. I dropped off donations here and they gave me back receipt also."

"I brought my state id, benefit card, piece of mail, and electic bill but because my electric bill had the address but was missing the zip code I could not get food here even though I live two blocks away. How many more peices of ID do you need! I was able to get government foodstamps with all that and I can't even get a bag of food from the food pantry. Even if I was to get registered id have to come back because its by appointments only! So don't go here if you're starving to death. I'm starving. What is wrong with these people at the food pantry. It feels like I'm applying for a bank loan it buying a car. The lady at the desk was unsypathetic, cold, and rude.There system is broken. Its just a bag of food to feed hungry people. We shouldn't even need ANY ID to get food at all! This is insane. Cruel cruel people. Things like this make me sad about humanity. Where am I going to eat now? I'm so hungry. I'm balling my eyes out right now sitting outside the place. This city us so cruel sometimes. People are so cold."
