YAIPAK

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with YAIPAK!! The people are sooooo friendly & welcoming!! It was such a blessing serving others with such a wonderful group of people!!

Wow, what a great bunch of human beings combining together to allow miracles in our region! Embarrassed to admit that I only learned of this great group last year - that, after living in Clarksville for over 12 years. Humility is my only answer, they just get needs met without fanfare. They truly practice kindness and I will seek out ways to become a part of these miracles in action!

They had an event today. It was horrible. Disorganized, no police presence for traffic control. People were going in the gate on foot, taking bags, boxes, carts, etc. Many went back some three 3x or more times, while others who were waiting in cars patiently. Whoever did that coordination did a lack of luster performance and should not be in this position of event organization again. This also speaks volumes about leadership. Their were staff members using profanity at those there to get items. This is the first time I have been to an event like this,more than likely my last. I also observed members of the organization, hot sweaty, and appeared to be very overwhelmed by the chaos. I realize nothing will ever be perfect. However, when holding an event of this magnitude, there should be at least 50 members available with walkie talkies for communication. I only saw one gentleman with a walkie-talkie. The other thing that disappointed me is seeing elderly people on Walkers, cane's walk up to get items, and then where they were turned away because they were not in line. These people had there handicapped plaques in hand and were still turned away. I also realize that this is a place that gives back to the community, and I feel this is a wonderful cause. But this event set the tone for me,possibly other clarksville residents as to how other things may be conducted. My two 🌟 are based STRICKLY from. The event that took place on 10/5/2024 on paradise hill road. Also, photos of patrons are camouflaged to protect their privacy.
