DO NOT TRUST THE PUBLIC FOOD STORAGE, OUR LUNCHES WERE STOLE
Good refuge/service/food, but there are THIEVES who stay here. You need to keep your food in a common area, and when we woke up our lunches had STOLEN. Specifically, somebody opened our lunch bags and took almost everything (except for my hardboiled egg - they stole my sandwiches, apple, and tomato).
