Shepherd's Pantry

My son is training football in the opposite park. I found that there are always many cars waiting in line to check Google before I know it is a food bank. I am very grateful to the owners and volunteers for helping those in need. Those who leave bad comments should all be former beneficiaries. You didn't pay a penny, but you were picky. Why?

This place is a great spot for people to take part in community service. I have volunteered at this spot multiple times and not once was I left standing around. Some of the jobs that you will probably be assigned are sorting and putting away food, cleaning, folding towels, etc. I think it is a good opportunity to get involved in your community.

I been going to the sherpherd pantry for 5 years to volunteer and sometimes when I go there I sometimes when I sign up to take food home for my famlies I get whatever I can take for my famlies and my dog. when this person complain about, Somebody taking food home that I sign for it and other volunteers get jealous about it then the volunteers that are there should sign up if they want to take food for their famlies. The person that run the place is being very disrespectful and very rude that not the way you treat people. And two when people pack fruits and vegetables at the pantry I notice they don't look at them they start packing the rotten fruits and vegetables in the plastic bags people will complain about it getting rotten food from that place when they come on Tuesday to get the bag of food and other stuff i think they need to tell the volunteers to check the fruits and vegetables before they start packing them in bag. because along time ago I br³ought my fruits and vegetables home and when i open my bag I found some rotten fruits I and some vegetables that were no good also. I was very disappointed and I haded throw some of them away. People can get sick. And somebody told me that they found some rats turd under the shelf where they keep their cans food and also in the candies basket they found candies that were eaten by the rats.

Generally a good place, with one improvement needed: serve the two lines more evenly so it's first come, first served. I appreciate the opportunity to get food for someone that is having a hard time right now. Most of the volunteers are very helpful and friendly. Sometimes they even offer to pray for you. However, they need to be more attentive to serving the two lines of cars more evenly. They claim that one line isn't faster than another, but it's not true. Tonight I made a mental note of the license plate of the last car in the other line (that I wasn't in) when I got in line. That car made it through the line much faster. So, I waited a lot longer than I would have if I had been in that line. I pointed it out to a worker and asked her to tell a supervisor. She agreed that they were "off-balance" tonight (serving one line more often than the other). I realize that it's a free service; however, it's frustrating to see other cars coming after you and getting served first. This has happened on other visits as well. It's about 45 minutes to an hour total from the time I start waiting in line until I leave. So, being served in first come, first served order would help. SUGGESTION: Give drivers an index card with a number on it as they arrive, then call them out in numerical order.

I love Shepherds Pantry we had a close to empty refrigerator and freezer now our freezer and fridge look like we won the Lottery we even had extra and gave to a neighbor in need we told them about Shepherd's Pantry in Irwindale to go on Tuesday be there around 5pm and wait in line in your vehicle and they will help you with the process we are happy to be Blessed by Shepherds Pantry and they are a Blessing to us for having our refrigerator full and may GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for those helping and donating to your organization GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Every Tuesday they start lining up about 4:30pm. If u get there after 6:30pm. Chances r u will be told that they ran out of food. But the line never gets shorter. So earlier the better.

I have been a volunteer at this Pantry for over 2 years now. It is a real blessing to give to those who are less fortunate than we are. We meet on Tuesdays and distribute food out to the poor and homeless. If you have some extra time on Tuesdays between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. please consider coming and volunteering. We are always in need of extra help.

If you want to donate some time for a worthy cause, Shepherd's Pantry is a great place to do it. The staff and all the other volunteers I've worked along side of are very friendly. Whether you volunteer a few hours once, or monthly, or weekly - it's time well spent. And fun.

I'm giving this a 3 star only because some of the food given was expired a month ago.. Also because I signed for 2 people n the food given looked like only for 1 person. Aside from this, I am Thankful for the food given.. meat, fruit, pastries, bread n Eggs.. I also asked if they had Dog n cat food for my dogs n cats which they did.. If you need stuff like that ask them also personal cosmetic.. Thank you so much for the help. God Bless.
