Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I went to Fort Smith Arkansas Back on the third of August 2011 with The woman I was Dating. I am Considered Disabled And I ask The staff member to speak up so I could hear them They got about 4 inches from my face and said can you hear me now I ask them to get out of my face. I went to the supervisor and was told I could I stay but after The supervisor went home the homeless shelter person that was on duty got back in my face. I had to find out on my own where the district headquarters was located after I contacted them all they did was to tell me I was barred from fort Smith Arkansas for good because of what they was because of my behavior... The district headquarters told me to contact the corp officer there when I try to contact them all I get told that will return my phone call to my cellphone but they never return My phone call.....I am not the only person that the staff has barred  from going on the property. I am getting Social security  benfits each month I only to stay in the shelter until I got my check in 3 weeks. They let the woman i was dating stay there and word got back to me from other who were staying there @ the time that they told the woman I was dating that if she is caught talking to me off the property they would kick her out. The people who were talking to me off the property were caught talking to me that had to leave the property.

I have experienced rudeness from personnel at the Salvation Army here in Denton, Texas. As has Ann Richards of Saint Andrew Presbyterian Church ( a staff member) and others who are not defensless homeless people. We have youtube videos,and audio recordings of Salvation Army staff acting in a manners not very becoming. Apparently this is not isolated. I was once homeless, stayed at the Denton "sally" and was assaulted by a staff member for "forgetting my shaving kit in the T.V. room. After filing an in house written formal complaint with a witness, I was subsequently later "banned" from staying at the shelter!

I was ask to move from the apartment manger because The woman I was dating was accusing me of having a affair with the female manger i lived there for over a year before I let the woman move in to my apartment and i found out that the woman I moved into my apartment had some unpaid fines that she was keeping from me and when I caught her stealing from the stores I told her I did not approve of her stealing. I paid for what I seen take from the store

All I know the salvation army is next door a Fort smith arkansas fire station and they set on  a corner I am taking the corecct address for the salvation army should be 301 north  sixth street . From what I can Tell about the places wanting to help the homeless and the less fortune people is the community rescue mission located  north F street and The next step day room From what the other homeless were telling me was that the other places out there in fort smith would help but not not salvation army that is why they would going to the salvation army they would go else were or do with out... The resuce mission on F street would serve meals @ the sametime The salvation Army did

It sounds like you work for the salavation army. I have done some work with the salvation army but never again I  would help in the soup kitchen and when not in the kitchen I would go out and pick up the donations that was donated to the salvation army. Sometime they would have me help with filling the food orders from the pantry. I dont know why said that I was a jerk.

your entitlement attitude is showing and you appear to basically promote conflict.

People trying to help you don't need your abuse..jerk.
