1 /5 Evelyn Badgett: On the third Saturday in June 2024, I went to New Beginnings Church to donate moms nice clothing. I had carefully researched where I wanted to donate. I chose a resale shop that helps domestic violence victims; a church that did not sale clothes but gave them away; and a prominent dress for sucess establishment. I finally learned about and decided to donate to NBC because of its website and message about its donations/donors. As I drove up to donate, a man saw me but hurriedly shut the entrance door to the clothing donation area. So I drove around looking for the Big Red Bin but did not see it. I returned to the clothing donation door. I saw the man get into his pickup and leave. I left my car to confirm the operating hours posted on both the food pantry door and the clothing donation door were from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. I was there at 11:03 a.m. Needless to say I donated moms clothes elsewhere. The careless and selfish attitude of the NBC member/volunteer was not what I expected based on NBCs website. Just think if I had been a person in real need of food or clothes who arrived at 11:15 a.m. and no one was there to help. If volunteers cannot be committed, they should not participate. I have no plans to ever attend NBC based on this incident.
