I took a homeless family of 5 living on Elmira streets on the Eastside there and they immediately found shelter for them.

Help me out A lot The People There r Very Nice & UNDERSTANDING But The GIRLS THAT WORK THERE R VERY BEAUTIFUL ESPECIALLY 1 OF THE GIRLS

Amazing how quickly they help people in need

Theyre always caring. Very helpful.

This a good place for people in need.I wish that they put out more, updated & reliable information, on their programs. Especially for those who are disabled, mobility impaired, or elderly. There have been many times Ive personally needed services they provide with no way to get there and back from where I live. Also even if I could get there and back, like me, most people that come to this place & places like these have no resources to get some of the things they need home.Having information and volunteers that would be able to assist disabled people, and elderly people that could help them with a few items and processes to make sure they can get the food as well as the things they need,...be it food to furnature items. Also along with updated paperwork on Heath Aides as well as hours & days that specific events take place would greatly help the community of Disabled and elderly. Also the additional kid of other places for furnature, houseware even appliances, or clothes. All things they may or may not have at this location. A daily or weekly publication that can be updated online would help a lot. Id that were done and there were other places would follow suit it might help with making a real change, avoid congestion that would make the work area more efficient for employees as well as volunteers freeing up a lot of time that could be used to set up and save money to be out into more avenues as well as help more people who actually need it. Staff sometimes knows other locations across the twin tiers that may have, or do have these items for people who dont have the means to drive or travel often and would still bring in business that would corrugate with the services rendered on the right days rather than having someone go through the process & find they came the wrong day.Thank you on behalf of the community for all that you do and for your consideration. Keep up the great work!

Couldnot help

This place is a wonderful place that helps families so much. We have gottenfood and help with diapers for our daughter. They helped us so much during hard times.

The best lookout ever, my son was hungry I didnt cook yet he started having pains I knew about this place stopped in and to me it was Christmas all over again God bless them.

Awesome place!!! Great helpful programs Every1 should check them out. They are great

The staff there is really nice

Very helpful people to those in need. Clothing selection better for women then men, footwear almost nonexistent. If u need food they always have a good selection, and unlike most donations it isnt bruised, rotten or spoiled. IF U NEED HELP AND LIVE IN CHEMUNG COUNTY GO SEE THEM.

Wonderful caring people working there

Very welcoming from the moment you walk in. Staff seem to really care. The oantry was a little sparce today which was disappointing but I am not sure what attributes to that. I wasnthere for my monthly which I get a few times a year when needed and it would of been nice to know ahead of time that maybe I should have come back another day and waited till there were more options for me so I feel like I wasted my one monthly visit.The clothing closet was not open today but I have been there before when it was open and it is a very nice clothing closet. Things are neatlymhung according to size, male or female, kids or adult, and they also have a little housewares section too.

They have changed the pantry. The receptionist are pleasent. They need more food donations but they have other services too.

I like going here because for a few years it has been tough for me and the food is good.also I like to get here

It took over a week to get a call returned, after leaving multiple messages on variety of voicemails that I was directed to by incredibly rude and out most disrespectful and condescending employees. Finally got a call back. I was refused help with one time rent payment assistance, due to the fact I could not provide employment information for the last 30 days (i lost employment 60 days ago) nor I was able to prove the employment after that (still in a process of interviews, sitting with a 3 day notice to vacate premises of my current appartment). What is the point then? I actually applied for a job with Catholic Charities for Homeless Shelter Worker, never heard back. Yet, when I needed help before I ended up on the street with my son whilst looking for employment I was flat out denied any form of help, not even brainstorming of what I could do in my situation...

Its a good place to go to for food and clothes and help

Good people will help you out when your in need. I used to work at the shelter there.

Quite supportive and gracious with food offerings

These people have help out my son , his father and me. No problems when there and very nice people who work here, thank you for being here for us

Most help they are the best a life saver

Its a great place that helps people in need

Great place if youre in need! They make sure you wont go without.

All the different types of food and the real ice cream.

They are the best I recommend going to them for all your needs and donate unwanted items

Ive always been able to get nice clothes from the clothing part... the food is ok...

Amazing, helpful programs to access and utilize if u r in their guidelines...

Thwy should give the food they show on t.v. that ppl actually donated not what no one eats n more meats

They help people with necessary things. The staff is friendly

Great staff willing to help u always did alot for r family when our house burned down

I dont hate it, it services its purpose it means well I appreciate everything they do, I just know that I have been there several times and the food area smells like rotted vegetables that should be a health violation.

Its a nice place n people help you with different situations

I went to the samaritan center for help and waited almost two hours to be seen by someone who said youd have to wait another hour and i just couldnt wait any longer considering i work overnights and cant waste a full day for them to get thier act together

Im not going to get into the details of my experience here. Suffice it to say it was an exercise in frustration. I wasted my time filling out several long questionnaires only to be turned away because I couldnt guarantee future employment in writing.

Very rude people there and good is often outdated or rotten

Help when you need it. (Food Bank)

What a special place. Took 20 something bags of clothing and nessecities down for the homeless.

Go there for food sometimes

Very friendly workers and helps me out with food thank u

Tried to get help and they could not help because they said I make to much but can help people that dont work

Helping others.
