Review for Foothill Unity Center, Inc., Monrovia, CA, USA
I was helping a client of Foothill Unity Center. I came into the facility to help her, I was shocked at the treatment the client we're getting. Not only by the staff but the volunteers as well.
The treatment was the up most respect, it was beautiful. The client are treated with dignity.
I saw each person greeted with a smile.
My personal story about Foothill Unity Center, I'm not a client but I know a board member which I didn't know she was a board member. Anyway I hurt my back and was unable to move. I live alone and I'm 64 years young. I get a call that someone was going to deliver some food, the she called me back to let me know her husband was going to be coming, so I wouldn't be alarmed when a man walks in my house.
I thought I recognize her voice but I wasn't sure, come to find out it was the Executive Director Betty.
I felt so bad because I felt like I was taking food from people that needed their services.
The box of food that was given to me was food that I could put in the microwave, so I didn't have to cook.
I then found out that they delivered to people that are shut ins as well as one timers like myself.
I really didn't know the scope of all the work that they do in serving the community until that day and helping one of their clients.
I tell everyone I know to support the center.
I also had the privilege to be at both site Monrovia and Pasadena.
I think some people just come to see smiling faces and to be treated with respect.
