CityReach Care Society - Vancouver, British Columbia

Bozo

I received a letter from Sharon Dong

Director of Development and Food for Families

which said: Based on recent incidents, I regretfully inform that you and your family have been terminated from all programs at CityReach Care Society including but not limited to Food for Families, Back to School Blast and Boxes of Love. CityReach Care Society is private property, and you will not be permitted onto the premises of our main location (2650 Slocan Street, Vancouver, BC) or any satellite locations. After reading the letter, I responded to the letter Hi Sharon, can you explain more? I did not understand what the recent events were. I think there is a mistake. I did not receive any response. Then I went to the location and met her in person with a friend of mine. She told me that there were people, not just one person, who complained about you because you said bad words to them. I usually go on Thursdays at 11:50, 10 minutes before the end of the distribution. Usually at that time there are no people. I tried a lot to check the complaints where, how and when but to no avail she just wanted to deprive me of everything. She told me you shouldn't come here and this is private property if you come again I will call the police on you and she was talking to me as if there was something personal between us I think she doesn't want me to go there that's all. My children were very sad because they were waiting for their Christmas presents and I am still shocked and I don't know why even though the staff know me I am a friendly person and I like to help others.

unfortunately, I was standing in the rain for a considerable amount of time. only to find out that we cannot get help from city reach. We need help right now. I haven't worked for quite some time....update. Niki sharma's office. MLA, helped us to get some help from city reach. We got more than we expected. It's a blessing.

It was a fantastic experience. I have met Junior, and he is very kind and friendly. He explained to me about the cityreach community and how everything works. It was beautiful to see how that team works together and helps so many families. I hope to have other opportunities to come back and see more.

Best “fresh” Foodbank in Vancouver! They also have a lot of great community events! I really recommend this place for families who need help!
