Battle Ground Adventist Community Services

I volunteered a few years back. Need to update information

Awesome! Truly felt each person serving God as they effectively and compassionately led us through the process.

This is a review of the food bank/food pantry, and clothing closet including household items run by the Meadow Glade SDA Church. All members of the community who reside in North Clark County are served, and you need not be a member of the church. The food bank and clothing closet is open two days of the week: Tues 1:00pm 5:30pm Thurs 10:00am 4:00pm I've attended this food bank when my regular food bank was inaccessible due to bad winter weather, or when I could not go there on Sunday, so I came here, which was open on two weekdays. I went here about three times. This is a very popular, well attended food bank and clothing closet, drawing as many as 30+ people at a time. It is necessary to come early to wait prior to their opening, if you do not want to be left only with the last dregs of grocery offerings. I have arrived a full hour ahead of when they opened, and there were still a dozen people ahead of me. I had the impression most of those people arrived two hours or more? before they opened. If you are willing to do that, you can acquire more grocery options. While this is a large, well organized food bank, with many volunteers, I must say that each time I came here, nearly all the grocery items were way past their expiration dates years past the expiration date. There was always some fresh produce, which is wonderful, so that is a huge plus. I never took the frozen items, but the boxed and canned goods are mostly expired, and I left those too. The volunteers were surprised I didn't take more food, but really, I would rather not bring home expired food! There is always lots of bread, and sweet treats, and lots of different grains and bean items. It is a VERY slow process, with often a long wait, while the volunteers help people take more or put back too many of this, not enough of that. It is a bit chaotic at times, because of how they have numbered everything, but the volunteers communicate well, and are helpful and patient with people. Once you get your groceries, you are welcome to peruse the clothing items and household items, which are plentiful; clothing for every member of the family, and all sorts of helpful household items, like place mats, bedding, nursery items, etc. I always leave with two large bags of such items, and am VERY grateful. They also offer a couple personal care items, like a bar of soap, or shampoo, etc... The woman who does the intake, signing people in, is very slow and methodical, so there is always an extremely long wait before you even begin shopping, regardless of how early you might have arrived! Don't arrive to this food bank tired! I am usually wiped out by the time I leave.
