Very understaffed and still recovering from the Covid shutdown. It has been a wonderful community resource in the past and needs support now.

Great place to talk to people about the word of God and humble yourself because everyone that works here work really hard to help out whoever they can. No discrimination, no disrespect, and great people here.

FOC is awsome! Sadly after 2wks I stopped going. Craig was the reason. Hes not a very nice man. Behind the scenes. I parked bad one time. He hunted me down at the day center. Talked so down and rude to me. I was totally shocked. I went back next day for devotion. I felt so uncomfortable. I felt as if he was waiting for me to do something wrong. I quit going. Which is very sad. It was helping, the daily devotion. He makes me feel unwanted and low about myself. I had 2 other I Incounters with him after that. Maybe he should take a vacation, or help somewhere else. I understand that the Homeless can be very needy and stressful. But not all of us make a career out of being homeless. FOC and Share have done so much for me. Me volunteering, is/was a way of giving back for what they have so graciously done for me and mine.

They know I know nobody up here and Im by myself.. So maybe thats why i seem unfocused. We are all entitled to our opinions. I volunteered for my own free will after I had finished my mandatory hours. And what do you know they just kicked me out: the reasons are unclear and one sided. I didnt agree with any judgement made against me. The staff members talk about each other, they are letting go of someone who doesnt want to go and who liked working there. They ask you personal questions and then use it against you. Im not there for drugs, alcohol, or stealing. They accused me of stealing and if you knew me youd know I was not brought up that way. Im not welcome back- I hope I have supporters here because when it rains it pours and I am just going to have to stick it out and keep my head up. I mean i watched as a staff member was just arrested for having illegal things in his possession. And this supposed to be faith and christian?! Andre is great, and michelle, and tom, and jon. Janine and Sandra have more insecurities and fear than I do- I advocate for whats right. This is not.

Would have rated it 5 stars, but the website says you open at 9:00am, and I went down and the sign on the door says 10:00am open. Wasted trip!!

Many homeless in the area now ruining the childrens park near here. Sleeping and doing drugs in the park is keeping us from taking our child there to play. When you call the police to report it the people are long gone by the time the police get there.
