much volunteer opportunities, unless you like to work in the fields or looking for bad produce.. also while part of their job is to get more food distributions, they poorly support their partner distributions, resulting in lots of food waste. Also , they will close a food distribution claiming the food distribution failed, while 2nd harvest actually was the one providing poor support. A public big example of a failure on 2nd harvest was the closure of ALL of Saddleback Church food distribution sites and how poorly 2nd Harvest handled it causing burdens on other distribution sites with increased workloads - WITHOUT being properly told what happened ahead of time. Also 2nd Harvest appears to be intolerant of employees making mistakes on the job. I was told 2 drivers were terminated the first time they hit something when backing up. Their employees are not typically professional drivers. That is what insurance is for. I was told 2nd Harvest had difficulty hiring people to replace them. I am also curious if all the wasted money spent on constant art type projects inside their building is it an art studio or a food bank hub? Are there constant tours given to show off the art? Couldn't the money be better spent on clients or partners? The warehouse had lots of wasted space, so maybe instead of food art was chosen to show how they help people? I did notice at least one review from overworked and underpaid staff. The money for artwork had to come from somewhere even if donated. Being nonprofit tax classification is no excuse to underpay employees!

Employees are very Nice and Kind to the Partner. What Big Differences Comparing with another OC Food... Now, in front of their Street under the Constructing. However, Irvine City made a Detour Strret for them. How much Big Influence do they have?I think this place and their actions are very good for people who have hard times and for the companies that can save the tax and also don't waste their products. COVID-19 destroys so many peoples' life, so their working is very precious jobs. The employee still I don't ask his name is very kind and friendly. Actually, I don't know anything to start this volunteer at that time he gave me information very kindly.
