And to my Spanish community I would like to inform you that as a translated for hope cent er I seen first hand the prejudice they have towards us constantly being asked to confront Spanish speaking people about stealing, or to tell them they are grabbing clothes for themselves under their childrens name or they would have me tell them that they already got their furniture when they haven't. It was so embarrassing to me to have to always translate and attack my people under the direction of managment .I noticed my people were last on the list and their orders would get lost or deleated from computer system. All I'm going to say is that because of the prejudice shown to my people I'm glad I'm no longer translating for them people but at the same time I was glad to be in a position to help my people even though I was badly underpaid if it wasn't for me most of those people would of got pushed away which is pro ally happening now .any Spanish activist groups out there you need to help the Spanish cliental at hopecenter

There was this homeless guy named Oscar he couldn't control himself and he would often go in his pants anyway Laurie with Ralph permission decided that they would refuse him clothes from the clothing shop they even left him out in the cold when they could of easily gave him something from clothing shop so that he would be presentable. Karen the social minister knew this was wrong that she would break Laurie and Ralph rule and would give him clothes. Even I would risk my job to help the poor guy. What kind of people are running hope center they left an old man wet and cold outside in the middle of winter and it got to the point where they would not allow him back for days he would come back and they would call cops on him all he wanted was food and clothing.one day he came in and Laurie threatening him the whole time saying " imgonna call the cops" anyway she didn't know that a social worker he brought aswas down the hallway witnessing the whole ordeal. The s.w stepped up and identified her self and asked why can't he get clothes , lauries face got so red and felt embarresed she said I'll ask Ralph she came back and said its ok u can go with him to get clothes. I later walked up and said to social worker thank you for standing up for Oscar because how they treat him is wrong. I was so happy that Oscar finally had help from these people at hopecenter treating him so unfairly.this is coming from the person that would have toclean up after him if I could deal wit that y couldn't Ralph and Laurie deal with having to give him clothes that are donated to help people eventually Oscar got put on probation and hopecenter made sure he was not allowed on property as part of his rules on probation . I'm just saying the wrong people are running this place I got so much more facts these people have no heart

I have seen them accuse Spanish people so much of stealing and taking clothes for themselves in their children's name. May I add this is free clothes that was donated for the poor .I seen my Spanish people get treated so bad there.pushed away with the words no funds to help this month while vice president sits with a double digit thousand dollar check saying I'm saving this for a rainy day. But then again here comes some one that is not Spanish who needs help and they help them. I tell you mangment is greedy and prejudice its all about the money. If a Hispanic can make em or save em money ok but other then the Hispanics they do help and that's just to loom good on paper. They don't care about Hispanics eventhough

On there website they said they helped a lady because she was making enough on unemployment. don't believe it I have seen their employees get treated like garbage . many of them got hurt on the job due to heavy work load or sick due to dirty establishment .company is greedy and will not help any of their employees at least not the ones that are a minority

I got so much dirt on this place and I see others do to. I haven't even got started yet from the president all the way down the line they are a bunch of crooks and some perverts and one a woman beater that greets you at door with can I help you with your things.anyway known crooks are using hope centers credit card and account information to make purchases do u really want your money handled by theses crooks.

Got sick from moldy strawberries they served . They tried to cover mold with whip cream .very wrong health dep. Should investigate I'm just glad my kids weren't with me

Very dirty place and the staff are people that I know for a fact have police records and are handling our donations whenever I would take a walk around I would notice beer cans in garbage. I feel like the Hispanic community would be pushed away according to my observation.

As a older woman I do not feel safe there when I donate my time as I said before the kitchen is not very clean and I would hear staff talk about each other. I did want to highlight they do have great programs. I continue to donate my time for the people in need. I just ignore the disrespect from certain staff.

very dirty place no gloves used in kitchen staff keep nice donations clothes and food and staff talk a lot behind peoples back very negative place to donate your time
