I will not be a poster child for the homeless coalition. What has transpired in my situation involves much more.
I've worked with people here. It is likely they've lied, cheated, stolen and lazed their way out of a job.
Why hang around me, or the library? If they had anything, they wouldn't have had to steal from me. Take their documentation and testimony and handle their biz. Make sense?
NONAME says they were taking pictures. NONAME wants to talk again.Also tries the homeless coalition again. Stating this is where others who have suffered the same are. He's got metoo issues about picture taking/stalking. Possible TAPE accessory. Could be why he wants me to return to WOL.

SURFING THE NATIONS AND THE 1ST SAMOAN ASSEMBLY OF GOD
I didn’t get any food today, along with many others. The STN pantry at 1ST SAMOAN ASSEMBLY OF GOD reverts to its old system, while under the watchful eye of CHURCH, STN and GOD.
I inform TAYLOR, of the iniquity and inequity. He blames AQUILA. Says AQUILA is in charge of distribution. When the person in charge has no responsibility and can’t oversee what transpires, delegates don't and wont.
Same "explanations", same excuses. It's not my job. The immaturity is daunting.
I see people taking 3 and 4 cartons of eggs. The dist. people keep putting bread on the table when folks are taking several.
They offer us handfuls of white chocolate morsels; 2 eggs; cans of icing; an onion. I decline, saying it's an insult.
This is after I've informed TAYLOR; he's told me not to worry and does nothing.
They can do better with the FOODBANKS delivery and the citizens of HAWAII deserve better distribution of their donations.

THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN HOW THERE CAN BE THE SAME CANNED GOODS FOR SUCH LONG PERIODS.

Thanks for finally responding. I was not informed about the requirement until this past Tuesday, which is strange because I shopped there the previous week and the previous month.
Why it took so long for the volunteer to ask for my picture, you will know better than I. But on this day, the 26th, the first time I was asked to comply, I did refuse.
So I won't be shopping at The Giving Tree anymore, or any other pantry that requires this. If any volunteer told you that I refused previous to being made aware of this new procedure on Tuesday, the 26th, they are either badly confused, or a liar.
But, I am not surprised that what should have been a simple procedure would be confused and only around one person, here in Hawaii.
Thank you for responding.
P.S. That's a lot of pictures to take. It's a wonder things went so smoothly, and surprising they don't go any faster. Especially, as it appears, there are less people being served.
"The Giving Tree nourishes more than 25,000 people per year, including Hawaii's senior citizens, physically challenged, single parents, children, and large families struggling to make ends."

As Hawaii's largest food pantry, the Giving Tree Food Pantry provided 1,069,952 pounds of food for 24,369 households representing 40,456 adults and 16,342 children. The Giving Tree Food Pantry also provided at no cost to those in need, clothing, furniture, housewares and necessities of living.

Hi Vernon,
The The Giving Tree database has been a great tool in improving the capability and efficiency in the way TGT operates. It has eliminated missing and/ or misfiled cards, need for applications to fill out, speeds up the shopping process, cuts down the waiting period for shopperrs. The data we collect has been a vital tool in supplying TGT and HFB with neccessary information regarding those we help, how and where we can improve our services. A picture is part of this process and is another procedure to obtain positive identification for each shopper at the Giving Tree. Since we've implemented the picture taking about 1 month ago, you are the ONLY shopper that has refused to the picture taking process. Please keep in mind, that in the near future, it may be the standard procedure for food pantries and food distributions on the island of Oahu. So, until you agree to the picture taking process, you will might find it difficult to shop at the Giving Tree
