I was a client there for 3 days. I reported that 3 black girls was fighting with everyone and calling us theives because we were white. They also was sneaking out at night and selling drugs in the big room we were in. They had the workers falling all over them to help them with bus ticket and social services help. I didn't get any help. I was kicked out when I reported the criminal activity. Never donate to this place. It is total ghetto.
They even kicked out a girl and her 2 year baby the same day because she had to work late one night. But funny they didn't kick out the black girls and their drug dealing.
Never donate to this place.
