I am a currently homeless lady that stayed at this shelter for 1 week... I left due to poor treatment from office staff... Jennetta was NOT nice to us ladies and even made me cry as well as other women that stayed there... I know this because they told me their experiences with her... Morgan my case worker gave me a wrong number and then had the nerve to actually tell me ... Why didn't you call me... They expected me to walk everywhere I needed to go including a job yet they have a van sitting on office property that they could have used but were unwilling to use... Even after I let them know I had pulled a muscle with all the walking that I had been doing! I DO NOT Recommend this shelter!!!! The women take the continued abuse from Jennetta because they have No Where Else To Go... Shelters are a place that already traumatized women go for help n safety... It is not alright for the shelter to further trammatize us ladies... The good thing about being in this shelter was meeting the other women like myself... They were beautiful lovely souls... God bless

I recently started a donation drop-off event for our clients in our offices to bring us new or used clothing for women and feminine products to be delivered to the Mary & Martha house. Our clients went above and beyond and gave us different sized women's clothing from young children to elderly women, ranging in sizes small to XXL. We were elated to drop off our donations to women in need but was extremely surprised by how we were treated by the employees. I called the business a month ago to obtain all necessary information and was only told what to bring and where they were located. I even explained to the employee how I was having all 3 of our offices partake. When I called today to let them know we'd be dropping off items, I was treated with disrespect. The lady didn't seem interested or even happy that I was bringing the donations they need and ask for. She instead made me feel like an inconvenience and explained that they're only accepting 2 bags per person to drop off. I wasn't disclosed of any of this information at all when I called the 1st time. When we dropped off our items the workers were complaining how it was too much stuff and the women we interacted with was extremely rude. This is HORRIBLE customer service and how are you working for a non-profit when you could care less about actually helping women in need? We were trying to do a good deed and help people especially during COVID and we're treated like this? So unacceptable. We'll be delivering donations to another establishment in the future, I just feel for the women missing out on how we can help them get back on their feet.
