St John's Bread & Life Program — Local services in New York

I don't have any complaints about the services that they provides, my only complaint is because I called several times, (more than 30) trying to get an answer for an issue that I have and no only does nobody respond, but neither was impossible leave a message because the voicemail is full...

I know they were not attending people, so one wonders, what they would be so busy (as not to answer the phone after more than 30 calls in three days to different extensions) Really? I had to wait 3 days to finally see somebody And the person wanted me to tell him about my needs in 60 seconds, which obviously I did not tell him about all of them cause it was evident that what he apparently wanted was perhaps to return to his comfort zone in which he was before I had arrived "as a nuisance", Because honestly, that's how I felt... To be clear I'm not talking about the services because I know the institution maybe it doesn't provide everything you need, and to be clear again, the person it wasn't disrespectful as well but the way I was interrupted by him when I was trying to explain all the calls and days I was trying to talk with someone, I did not find it very...

ATTN:;:: THE STAFF AT THE SOUP KITCHEN ACT AS IF YOU OWE THEM SOMETHING FOR EVEN COMING THERE!!! THEY BASICALLY THROW THE FOOD AT YOU, (WITH A LOOK ON THERE FACES, THAT SHOWS THEY DONT WANT TO BE THERE, OR WHY ARE YOU HERE) THEY WILL NOT HONOR YOUR FAMILY COMPOSITION, IF YOU HAVE KIDS, THEY HAVE TO NOT BE IN SCHOOL FOR YOU TO GET MEALS FOR THEM. THEY WILL ALSO SAY THEY ARE CLOSED BEFORE THE HOURS OF OPERATION LISTED. MOST PEOPLE REALLY NEED IT (MEALS) REGARDLESS TO HOW THEY ARE DRESSED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS, ATTN:: THE SAD PART IS THAT THE BOSSES DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THIS IS ACCURING, BECAUSE IT NEVER CHANGES NO MATTER WHO IS AT THE WINDOW...
