    I called to see if I can get help with my rent & light bill. I was told I can come by to put in an application. Got there, & I was told that, no more funding won't be available til January. If you knew that already, why have me waste my time n gas coming to handle business. Being that, you're a child of God, Don't you think, you could have been honest with me from the beginning? It's places like this that I can't trust nor do I have faith in anymore. PITIFUL

    I love this place because they support people who can't buy food and water and they make homeless people feel at home even kids they books for kids so they can learn they have school supplies for kids or parents who can't afford it they let kids know that God is always with them and that's why this St Luke's Episcopal Church is a good place for everyone and don't they have wash day every Thursday
