Salvation Army Canada

I am facing staff discrimination and an eviction at the Vernon BC Salvation Army Food Bank. I am a low income senior and I rely upon the food bank for local fresh produce plus other food to get me by.

I cycle 12 Km every day to the Food Bank to collect food.

On Monday morning, June 4th, 2018 Stefan Reid evicted me pursuing me as I was walking out the door shouting, " You are no longer allowed to come here...repeating twice...you can no longer come here!" ...as I was already on the sidewalk unlocking my bike!

I wrote several letters to Mr Reid, and also to Ms Tiffany Marshall, BC headquarters.

I am requesting assistance to know the reason for this SHAMEFUL AND UNJUSTIFIABLE eviction, an apology and access to the Food Bank.

Denying food for people to maliciously and vindictively punish them...SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED! This raise red flags about the integrity of the Salvation Army organization in Canada.

How could a large charitable organization such as the Salvation Army can simply deny me access to the Food Bank...WITHOUT FIRST GOING THROUGH A SERIES OF DISCIPLINARY STEPS SUCH AS VERBAL OR WRITTEN WARNINGS BEFORE AN EVICTION.

Does somebody know if there is an INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION WHERE I CAN EXPRESS MY CONCERNS?

Thank you for your assistance.
