Foodlink Review

This is a great place.Clean,the food & help they provide to people of Rochester,Is excellent.An the staff is so helpful.My daughter ,just happens to be employed by Food link.

The atmosphere is great. Best of all, there is no judgement of people and their circumstances.

Great organization that helps sort food for the needy. Volunteer opportunities are aplenty and its an enjoyable time

Great place to volunteer at.very clean and great staff,always working to help ,the less fortunate.

Great company doing big things for not only our community, but the surrounding areas as well.

Livingston church volunteers are rude and take , sort out things that they want not very helpful to handicap all volunteers go first and leave same people take the very best of what is offered

What a great place to volunteer! They really do a lot for the community!

Amazing thankful for the help during this time you guys helped us so much . Foodlink and volunteers rocksss

awesome place! Them and Wegmans are involved in feeding the hungry.

One of the most innovative and exciting Food Banks in the country.

I've started volunteering here occasionally. It's really fun and the coordinators are very friendly. They tell you exactly what to do and you can fritter away a couple of hours there in kind of a zen repetitive state just packing boxes or whatever is needed. Keeps me outta trouble!

I am thankful & appreciate Foodlink so much. They have helped me more than once when I was in need. At one point of my life if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have eaten. Thank you so much to the volunteers that give their time to feed the needy.

I served here for a Day of Caring event and had a great time. They gave plenty of information, and tours of the facility. I would definitely go back.

Verry welcoming, i volenterr ounce to twice a month everyone works together and is verry nice and coopertive.

TAX AUDIT these oversees recentlt just now called in was demanded by the male receptionistI asked who I was ralking to his name he said: Give me yours first "I did and then the guy would not give his name I then was transferred to a morgan who was very beligerent and stated she was the overseer of foodlink when I asked for her boss she declined.

Today was my first time volunteering at food link. We got the job done and we got the job done fast.

Very helpful in time of need obviously however be aware that most food is expired and sometimes spoiled. I received hot dogs last night and when I looked at them at home they were all expired in 2016. Even though they were frozen I threw them right away that is almost 3 years old. Just be careful and read the labels.

So much potential and experience here but a heavy focus on charity, few conversations about solidarity leaves it feeling wasted. Treats other regional anti-hunger groups that dont fit into their member agency model with suspicion and contempt. Good people working their hearts out inside a broken system. The place scrapes by despite a $39 million annual budget providing sub-living wages (but decent benefits) to staff while not having the spine to ask any of the places "donating" food to incurr a reduced tonnage processing fee to bolster the budget. Operations level staff are regularly subject to known unsafe working conditions. Finally, members of communities Foodlink intends to serve are not adequately represented on their board of directors, their board is comprised of people who have has $$$, relevant professional experience, or hold some form of office that can be leveraged the to benefit the agency. Poor and food insecure folks are not involved in decision making at Foodlink or within its programs. The only major exception to that is the Ambassador Program Curbside started last year. When Foodlink starts actively de-coupling from the nonprofit industrial complex model as opposed to using it as a talking point when convenient my review will be 5 stars.

What a loving contribution to our city and surrounding areas! They really feed our community!
Thank yiu to everyone who gives!

Great organization. Great work, help the needy and supply food to the food pantry all over the different counties

Its a cool place to volunteer but its not really a place to work and get paid its just a volunteering experience for people who want more experience in the work force.

Went on a trip with students love how they run this place
