Jon Reid Review of Springs Rescue Mission
Not very impressed with the donation process here....
Not very impressed with the donation process here. First - where you need to drop things off is not marked, either with a sign or address. I drove around for 10 minutes before finally giving up and going in the main building which has a sign stating donations are not accepted at the location. The gentleman inside was kind enough to point me to the building in back where they accept donations.
At that building there were two men standing guard for all intents and purposes. I asked if this is where they accept drop offs, one responded we take donations . Ok, so I decide to not argue the semantics. One guy says nothing, takes the two bags I have (I explain that they are toiletries) and walks away. The other starts writing on a clip board, asks if I need a receipt (I didn t) and walks away.
I wasn t looking for much, maybe just some pleasantries or a thank you, considering I m taking the time out of my day to drive across town to donate to those in need. They acted like they were doing me a favor, which is really a shame. Next month I ll look into another place to donate.
