Did not help me get into any other shelters after they told me I have to go they said they can not help me because I am “18”

Door was answered quickly and the person manning the desk was very appreciative of my donation. Mostly towels and clothing items for women and men. Yes, they house young men also. It was prior to Halloween and I had purchased snack boxes with enough bags for all the residents.

I wouldn't recommend here. I called looking for a place to stay because I had to lave the place I was at in a few days. They asked me a whole bunch of questions told me I hate to wait a day or two and then hung up. Two days went by and heard nothing from them then I got annoyed. I waiting five days an still hearing nothing from them. When I called back they told me I was denied a spot because of my mental health. They told me they were not properly staffed to take care of people with mental health issues. When I was questioned about my mental health I told them I've been clean for almost two whole years. They used my PTSD, Trama, depression and anxiety against me. Keep in mind things I CAN NOT HELP HAVING. I told them specifically on the phone I was putting myself though my own outpatient therapy and I did not need their help with that. I love how they so call help people but denied people with mental health issues. Keep in mind I was referred here by nuns my step dad worked for. Not to mention the lady Liz I was talking with was extremely disrespectful on the phone. Even getting loud with me.
