Unorganized no one in charge.Stood outside in cold for hour and a half only to be let in in more chaos. People yelling no direction.After the worst health fair I've ever seen you needed stickers to receive a Turkey that was not available. Then left came back and still no turkey.After thirty more minutes finally turkeys...but not enough.On top of that if you didnt have 15 stickers..no Turkey. Just unbelievable.

Very familiar with "the Doug" as we affectionately nick name it. Nice big place, but the last time I went to a food give away was my LAST TIME. It's been a while since I went and it was not worth my time. The stuff they gave away at that time, I would not have given a goat. Old tomato juice, a pack of dry beans, a can of green beans, and some prunes. I said Wow. And never returned. I went there to vote one year and the workers had such ugly attitudes I left and did not vote. I haven't been back to "the Doug" for nothing else.

Was intersted in renting for a repast dinner, however I thought it was extremely overpriced! I couldn't believe a neighborhood community center is charging that much to people in the community! Very disappointing! Ended up renting a Union hall for much cheaper with pop and water included.
