Very nice place here in Calhan. Eastern Plains isn't just a good food pantry, they also offer a section of free items. These items include housewares, clothing and shoes, accessories, books, personal and hygiene items, decorations and many other things you may need. The staff and volunteers are very kind and helpful, always happy to help everyone. I not only recommend Eastern Plains Community Pantry to anyone in need in the area, but I would like to say a big thank you....Y'all Are Amazing!!

The people who help there are so rude. They turn what is already a humbling experience into a humiliating one .

I would like to tell everyone how I was treated today by the rude old lady that works there....First of all, she must own that place. Can’t imagine her being on the payroll. Every single time I go there, I try my best to stay away from her.BUT TODAY, SHE CROSSED THE LINE!While inside I was told (not asked) not to leave the freezer door open by her. Right before me was another employee and customer that stood there longer than I did and was told nothing.Then, while I was going through the Christmas stuff there, I heard the very friendly gentleman employee ask the same customer as before if he wanted some flour. He denied. After I was done with the Christmas pile I asked that employee if I could get some flour. Without any time for the gentleman to answer, the rude female employee started (almost yelling) to inform me that the flour was for emergency food only. So I then requested emergency food. She continued in her rude manner to scold me about if I had any food in my house I was not getting the emergency flour! WHAT? I told her that thanks to the food I had in the bags, I now did have food. The gentleman employee then said something quietly to her. She then asked me how much flour did I want? I said none now. SHE SAID, GOOD, NO SWEAT OFF MY BACK!!!!!So to Eastern plains food pantry,,,,,, I ask you, is this really an employee worth keeping. She obviously does not want to be there, so why is she?To the very rude old female employee,,,, I am asking you to wipe that chip off your shoulder and BACK OFF!Please folks, don’t let that rude old woman chase you off. She just wants all the food for herself! I know for a fact that they throw unwanted food away there all the time!

This pantry helps with emergency food and commodities. The ONLY food bank I know that GIVES people in need clothing free of charge. They accept donations anytime when open just ask to not be left outside. They also have emergency community help with electric bills and applying for assistance. Local help the holidays. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The people that run this are kind and caring. We love this place.

Very nice and humble people. Drove over yesterday to donate some items for people in need. The staff were very helpful with letting me know what they need. I would rather donate here than Goodwill. This place is not all about the money like many others are.

Great place to go if your in a bind for food for your family. Everyone is very sweet. I love the variety of foods they can provide. Sometimes even pet food. If they don't have pet food, they will offer information as to where you can. This pantry has lots of clothing as well as dishes.

UPDATE:I just came in to get some jeans for my son who is out of jeans completely, and to pick up my food box, I haven't been in in 5 months. The minute I walked in the door, didn't even get to say hi or anything, I was yelled at from across the room extremely rudely that they are only open for toy pickup if that's not why I'm here then I need to leave. First of all u can say things in a much more customer friendly way, secondly I looked at the website to make sure they were open and there was no information saying I couldn't come in. I will never be back, for a so called community assistance location they aren't helpful or nice and aren't very good community roll models. I'm very angry right now, never have I been treated so badly by my 'community'...I hope they either get new owners or close down, no one should be treated this way.I haven't had any trouble with this place until the whole covid BS started. The hours of operation are sporadic at best, I can't get anyone to answer the phone either. I have wasted more gas trying to use this pantry in the past couple months than doing anything else. I wouldn't recommend coming here until everything is 'normal' again 🤬😤

Really great place! Anyone who says they're condescending must be very sensitive. They were nothing but nice, caring people to us, including the young man who helped us take our things out. This place is a credit to this community!
