Team member that picked up vehicle was professional, efficient and an outstanding representative of your company! Team members like that are hard to find. From the initial phone call to pickup was less than a week. Confirmation call received in advance and then driver called when he was an hour away. Rarely have I ever had a process work this smoothly. I also encourage others to consider donating to Central Mission. Organizations that feed people are critical.

We waited all day on 3 Saturdays to meet the driver for pick up. The drivers never called for the first 2 days. I called the office and they would transfer to the driver who did not pick up and never called us. The office then closed. The window for pick up is 6AM to 4PM so we are literally waiting all day. The third driver said the cable was broken on his truck and he did not know when he could get there. We finally had to leave the keys and title with the auto shop because it was so delayed. Totally disorganized and a huge inconvenience. I plan to complain to Habitat for Humanity also.

We regret to hear about the multiple failed pick-up attempts and the inconvenience this caused. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we'll review our procedures to prevent similar issues in the future.

I understand that you can't have everything in life. So when you're more fortunate than others, it's important to think about them and do something important for them. Your organization does a great job in assisting needy people to improve their daily lives.
