Sundy I went to the Building Up Lives Foundation for food..
I appreciate everyone who volunteers..
This is not for u..
This foundation is supposed to be a non profit organization.. but makes a big deal about the ppl coming for help to donate.. and blast it all on their page.. annoying and very unprofessional.. To see some one donate and get yelled at like a child from the organizer about grabbing a mask and putting money in the donation thing that they put there for donations.. she was put on "time out" and let others go in front of her.. she asked when she can go in and a different woman comes out pulls her to the side an pretty much told her she cant get food for not listening to rules... and she donated...
Its extremely sad that this is supposed to be a non profit and all they do is mistreat the ppl they say their helping.. blast that all these ppl came and took and no one donations money.. then to accused the woman of stealing on social media to make herself look good and get praise and ppl giving their ahh.. wow ppl can be so ungrateful.. their rude and crazy.. I'm not saying no crazy ppl or angry ppl come but u cant treat EVERYONE that way.. u should be humble and greet the less fortunate with respect... and that's how respect does both ways.. no one should have to endure being treated like a child just for help..
I've spent my life pretty much going to food pantries for help and NEVER, NEVER!! once in my life have I seen ppl coming for help and being mistreated.. talked about online by others.. asking the ppl they help to bring donations...
This foundation is extremely unprofessional and I will be finding another food pantry that doesnt act like were in a jail to get help.. one that wont talk about the ppl they help..
I will be finding a way for report this behavior and asking for money to get food to the irs.. julie she go to anger management and go to school for hospitality cuz she thinks yell at adults is okay.. I'm not the first to see it.. even to have another volunteer tell to not say anything on my mind or I cant get food..
I was so appalled.. this is why I never go HERE for help.. to get help I have to submit to being treated like a child.. I will be going to Emanuel house food bank and the oasis church food bank or any other food bank out there.. atleast I'll be treated with respect and not being yelled at like a child.

What I noticed about this so called non profit organization is the way the charge when you ask them how they got their merchandise it was all donated and they definitely want to get the most amount of money from what they say is a cause to help people but as I had witnessed they were more worried about the bills going in and of the building and storage units and their own home which saddens me to say but this is a for profit organization they will only show what the do for the homeless as a way to say hey I'm actually helping people but in reality I have only seen that this is a cause to line up there pockets and most of there so called volunteers are on probation getting community services hours what I would say is easy for them not to hire labor workers sad to say but totally true just ask about the price of certain things they will look up the items on Amazon and go half or more on the item
