I volunteered here with a group a few years ago. As a middle schooler or early high school student I put this non profit on the bottom of my list for a number of reasons.
1) They had our group do a lot of tasks that seemed like their own job, like we were there take their work load off their backs for the day.
2) When it came distributing food, there was tons of rotten fruits and vegetables. Our group wanted to through them away. Im not talking a dime sized rot, but like over half the piece of food. They assured us that the homeless would "just pick through the rot". I do not think anyone should have to pick through rotted food.
3) It was an overall bad experience, I had volunteered at many non profits and I can say that I simply did not care for how the staff did things around here. I will definitely never serve there again. It left a bad taste in all of our group members (Over 30 people) mouths.
