Daily Bread Food Bank
This is a review based on the improper treatment at the 682 WARDEN AVENUE FOOD BANK.
I arrived at the food bank at 11:30 am (one and a half hours before the food bank opens). Upon my arrival there were bags, garbage bins and bricks lined up with no people in attendance. I was told last year that the daily bread food bank had put a stop to people coming hours or days before to leave their personals there but to not be present. I proceeded to stand in front of the door with my bag because I was there as a person waiting for the bank to open. A very rude white woman decided to come at me spewing profanity in my ears telling me that I was cutting the line because I did not go behind bricks, empty bags, food tins and even garbage bins that were lined up., I stated to her that it is both unfair and unrealistic and also not daily breads food bank policy that you stand behind empty things just because people left their stuff there. It is unfair that someone can come hours before the bank opens and stand in line just to be pushed to the back by someone who had a brick laying at the door in line to come to the food bank at 1pm when it opens. At that moment she went inside and came back out with men one of whom took my bag from me and threw it across the pathway. I went to a Mr. Garth someone who works for the food bank and told him what happened and he had no concern or care. I then proceeded to call Daily Bread and left two voicemails to a Mr. Daniel in fear that the situation would become worse. I stated to Mr. Garth that I would call the police if my life begins to be threatened and he smirked and stated that no one has been jumped here before. I responded saying to him that nothing has been done before until something happens for the first time. Right after his words a man came in front of my face told me I would be a problem and kicked me. Daily Bread Food Bank witnessed this and did nothing. I pleaded to them that I felt unsafe and asked if I could simply just get some vegetables and leave because I was being threatened by saying I would call the police because there were drug abusers and dealers around. Mr Garth closed the door in front of my face and I realized then that I was on my own. I had no choice and in that moment as more people came toward me I left with nothing because I became in fear for my safety. I will not be going back to Daily Bread Food Bank because there is no care for the people , only for ones self.
I was once a volunteer at a daily bread food bank and to know that as a recipient now this is what it has come to...
I am disheartened.
