Review for Topeka Rescue Mission Inc, Topeka, KS, USA
When you try to get in (as a homeless person seeking shelter), there's paper work to fill out and one question asked is emergency contact information. If you don't have one, which many homeless do not, they won't let you stay and will literally put you out in the freezing cold to live, not caring that you could die. These people are so cold hearted. Someone not having an emergency contact should not cause them to not be allowed to stay but it will. I know this first hand because I was one of these people. Management does not care about human life and there are lots of other stories, like this, where someone was put out even in the freezing cold without good reason. I was not served here and wasn't allowed to stay, only because I didn't have an emergency contact information. The director of the women's shelter spoke with me and defended this policy.
