I am writing this review about the Food Pantry at the Islamic Society of Tampa Bay. I am very upset about them falsely advertising on their website that their Food Pantry is open every Saturday from 2:30pm-4:30pm. I have went to their food pantry TWO Saturdays in a row now and it has not been open at 2:30pm as advertised on their website nor has it been open at all. Today Saturday 8/30/14 I first called the main office in the morning and asked if the food pantry would be open to make sure I didn't wast my gas money again and go and have it not be open. The first time I went, also it was not open at all as advertised on a Saturday. The gentleman at the main office told me on the phone today it would be open today at 3:00pm. So happily, I drive there spending gas money that I don't have, and I am going through extremely hard times financially and have no food and no money for food. I am very hungry today. I get there today and a gentleman who is part of the society is in the parking lot and tells me that the lady who runs it may not get there until 4:00pm. Mind you, it is advertised to open at 2:30pm. So I leave, go home, and come back a 2nd TIME IN THE SAME DAY, at 4:00pm and the Food Pantry is still NOT OPEN. I am hungry, and have no money for food and expected this food pantry to be open from 2:30pm to 4:30pm as advertised on their website: http://istaba.org/pantry.shtml. Please fix your website and do not falsely advertise and have hungry people come for food if you are not going to have the food pantry open on the date and times stated. Now I have less gas money and no food because of this non-profit's carelessness.
