Sack lunches are about 25% edible -- obvious favouritism played with high quality products, presumably saved for workers and tenants only. Food box can be good but also served lots of low quality products. You will rejoice on the rare occasion you get a candy bar in either one. Most of the bread tastes like plastic and armpits.

My experience with the Salvation Army has unfortunately been far from satisfactory, prompting me to provide a one-star review as a Google Guide. While I understand that charities play a crucial role in helping those in need, my encounters with the Salvation Army have left me frustrated and bewildered by the unnecessary hurdles and lack of streamlined communication.
One of the primary issues I encountered was the convoluted process that individuals seeking assistance must navigate. It seems counterintuitive for a charitable organization to impose multiple hoops for those in need to jump through. Instead of providing a seamless and supportive experience, the Salvation Army's procedures often create unnecessary obstacles, making it challenging for individuals already facing difficult circumstances.
Communication breakdowns only exacerbated my frustration. Calling the Salvation Army should be a straightforward way to connect with the assistance one requires, but my experience has been quite the opposite. On more than one occasion, I found myself transferred from one office to another, only to be told that the person I needed to speak to was in a different department or unavailable. This lack of clarity and efficiency in communication creates a disheartening experience for those reaching out for help.
One notable issue is the challenge of getting in touch with the right office. It's disheartening to call a seemingly central number, only to be redirected multiple times, each time hoping to finally connect with the right person who can address your needs. This process can be time-consuming and emotionally draining, particularly for individuals who are already dealing with hardships. A more streamlined and accessible system for connecting those in need with the appropriate resources would undoubtedly enhance the Salvation Army's effectiveness and reputation.
Furthermore, the inconsistency in the information provided by different offices is perplexing. It's disconcerting to receive conflicting details about the assistance available or the application process, leaving individuals uncertain about the support they can expect. A lack of standardized information contributes to confusion and frustration, undermining the trust that people place in charitable organizations.
While I recognize the challenges that charities like the Salvation Army face in managing high volumes of inquiries and requests for assistance, it is imperative that they prioritize improving their communication systems and simplifying the process for those seeking help. The very essence of a charitable organization should be to alleviate the burdens of those in need, not add to their challenges through bureaucratic hurdles and unclear communication.
In conclusion, my experience with the Salvation Army has been marked by frustration and disappointment. The disconnect between the organization's mission to help people and the cumbersome process individuals must endure to access that help is a significant issue. I hope that the Salvation Army takes these concerns seriously and works towards creating a more user-friendly, empathetic, and efficient system that truly reflects the spirit of charitable giving and support for those facing adversity.

What Salvatiom army does is great! But I have to say that the people that work there the ones that I came into contact with were very rude and I was being very polite. And I have a family of seven and I just feel that if you’re going to give someone certain items, then you should give everybody those certain items not just wait until your friend comes in to give them. Better items I should say… but I get it you know you want to make your friends feel good because of your friend but just remember that there’s a lot of people in these situations and you should be a friend to everybody!

A month ago I was doing badly without food, a mother of a 9-month-old baby and pregnant and without a car, a volunteer was going to give me a box of food and the one who speaks English, the one from number 1, behaved badly, made me waste time and racism and didn't let me. He gave nothing, I returned home crying, I didn't even have enough for my daughter's milk and I hadn't eaten anything???I felt worse than I already felt.
