Creative visions has been an essential part of the community! They will continue to be the pinnacle to the neighborhood by providing emergency food threw out this crisis. We are very grateful!
Creative Visions maintains very careful concern to ensure the environmental safety of our establishment and the clientele we serve. It is of the utmost importance that we make certain to maintain cleanliness and safety standards. To operate as a food pantry and a free health clinic, we must have and have had routine inspections. We have never had any negative reports cause for legitimate concern. Unfortunately, due to the nature of being in the service industry, we are vulnerable to false allegations. We have been in operation and have served in this capacity for 23 years. Consistently serving with this longevity invalidates any negative posts past or future. Creative Visions is an integral establishment providing needed services to the marginalized and underserved members in this area. We will routinely post videos and encourage patrons to visit this site to demonstrate how vastly our services have contributed to address food insecurity, provide healthy daily prepared meals, fresh produce and overall health and wellness.* During the Coronavirus pandemic Creative Visions has implemented added measures of precaution to prevent the risks of contagion from being exposed to the COVID-19 virus. We continue to provide emergency food to individuals and families but have restricted the facility to protect our staff and our patrons.
I did my community service at Creative Visions. Everyone was super friendly and made my community service an enjoyable experience. They do so much good for the community. Feeding people every day, helping folks with clothing needs, crime victim services and so much more. I want to respond to tbrew658 who posted the negative things about Creative Visions. Your post was over two years ago so I want to tell you that what you claimed is not true today. I wasn't there in 2017 so I can't speak about what you saw but I will tell you they are clean and sanitary. They use hairnets, gloves, thermometers, etc. I have worked in food prep over the course of my life and I have learned about food safety, they are following the protocol for food safety.
I give Creative Visions 5 stars!
I volunteered on a Sunday to help with their Sunday Feeding and deliveries. After we were done, I immediately HAD searched for their food license or permit, or any other standard they are held to when preparing/serving food. After what I saw while I volunteered, it did not shock me that, they do not have A SINGLE permit, food inspection report or evaluations!! Which means there is NO inspections conducted of their food preparation and handling! There were a vast number of violations that I saw, and I'm not even an inspector. There was complete lack of concern to ensure public health. Volunteers were NOT required to wear gloves, preparation areas were dirty and cross contamination was everywhere. Lastly, there was hazardous thawing, NO temperature holding and storing temperatures for food. They are going to kill someone!! I would never eat here or serve food here again.
