Food Bank Network of Somerset County — Restaurant in Bridgewater Township

I usually go to this place for my food and have a pleasant time! I've been going there for a year now and the staff is so friendly (most of them) today was different. After waiting in the COLD rain with about 17 other people (I counted) for 20 minutes I was let in. There was a nasty old pale lady with long braided pigtails and dark purple lipstick. I've never even seen her before. She claimed she wasn't new. Anyway, I absent mindly grabbed a cart before giving her my ID. She said "I'm not taking that until you put it back. Youre blocking the way." They had a cart of turkey blocking the exit but I was blocking the way. Okay. Then I all of a sudden needed proof of address when again, I've been going here for a year and no one told me prior to this. I cried twice while I was there which is SO embarrassing. But alas, my children come first. I have two babies and don't have time for crabby old ladies. I just needed food for my children and i, as always. The younger two were super nice and helpful like they always are! :) but I won't say their names. Anyway, she was very rude and shouldn't be here. If you don't want to volunteer, go home and retire where you should be.(Wendy pigtails specifically) I don't care if they know who I am either, I am DISAPPOINTED with them today. 5 stars so...

The Food Bank facility in Bridgewater has moved and changed; all for the better. No longer outside, but Covid protocols do limit numbers of people admitted inside at any point in time. Now you have the ability to shop and choose from the available inventory so you can customize for your own preferences although the food bank remains completely dependent upon donations of produce, prepared foods and pantry staples which means there are always limitations in choices and in quantities as the sharing needs to stretch for all the clients in need. Ever improving. Always trying. Always respectful. Kudos to...

It's set up like a store what a pleasent change from people pushing food you don't eat. As a vegetarian it was a great treat to find quinoa dark chocolate in these cute little bags at 35 calories a bag. YEAH!!! Food I could eat. Now I find squash different color potatoes. As you leave instead of giving money you just get bags with a smile. It's a winner. Being poor folks don't mean we should be treated poorly what a nice little joy. This is the best food bank I have been ever that had the blessing of fresh food that's picked by me for me. Thank You Somerset County Food Bank. Number 1...
