The food outreach at their thrift store is a wonderful and generous program. However, I have witnessed the elderly and disabled that come in need being treated rather rudely-"looked down upon" by church members. The church staff and volunteers grab arm loads of food and desserts for themselves before those in need are permitted to come forth to gather their limited quantities. The people seeking help graciously stand and wait for hours at times, yet treated as if they are greedy or burdensome to these "elite" church folks. It seems to me that the outreach is more for recognition than heartfelt caring and generosity.
