I would like justice for my 15 year old daughter. There is no court order for child support because her father is a crackhead, his name is Brian Grant. He works at this discount food store(Fatima's) and works fulltime there. I went into Fatima's and bought some chocolate cherries, you know in those boxes. I got home and the chocolates were grey and unedible. I paid about 4 or 5 dollars for that garbage. My daughter went and bought Parmesan cheese in a big jar, it was expired and unedible as well. Both those items would have been cheaper at the Safeway on sale. Just garbage.

I went to the Edmonton Food Bank , the main depot who admonished me for going there because I was supposed to go to the neighborhood depot at St. Francis of Assisi. I have gone there before but I know they went through my food hamper and took out anything good, like eggs, sour cream, bananas and anything else that could be good. The homeless men I saw got the good stuff which is strange because how does a person with no address cook eggs, on What? The stove in the bushes. I honestly think the priest at that place either gives the food to these transients to sell to Fatima's at a low cost or to trade for crack. I really think that is where they get their stock, from the Edmonton Food Bank. So much for them "helping low income albertans". I had an acqaintance that I gave a letter to so I could get a food hamper and he went through it and took all the good stuff out and put it in his food hamper. His name is Terry Keith Foulkes and this happened about 10 years ago. He made $150,000.00 last year, but is a regular user of the food bank. He has different ID's with different names. Terry Foulkes, Keith Foulkes. I'm sure he does good as he can go to the main food bank downtown, where they don't steal your food, like the Catholic's do.

I honestly believe the Edmonton Food Bank is not a good organization, they may try to be but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Well your good intentions will send you all to hell as you have alot of good intentions that have fallen short. Every time I go to get food from the St. Francis church the food hamper has been gone though by these evil people. I wonder if they get money for the food they shift to Fatima's or if they just get a good feeling from robbing poor people. Don't give to this Edmonton Food Bank if that is what they do with your charity. Find a person who needs help and know who you are helping.

The Salvation Army is about the same. If you are a crackhead, speed addict, prostiute or pimp they are the place to go. If you make $12.00 per hour part time don't go there as they will discriminate against you. I saw it in person as one woman who had no ID for her children got lots of food but in my case I forgot the ID and they would not give me much. My 28 year old daugher got about twice as much as I diid in the produce department. She did recognize the prostitute and her pimp from across the street from where she lives and they did get preferential treatment. It figures , I guess all Catholics must think that people who spend all their money on chemicals deserve the royal treatment for the choices they make on a daily basis. Anyway don't think Edmonton is any better than any place in the US because that is not true. Read this and do not waste your charity on organizations that try to hurt poor people and their children because they believe everyone shoud be a prostitute or a crackhead. I do beleive in freedom of speech and this is mine.

Wow, I have never heard something so evil in my life, you could refer these people to the food bank or Salvation army instead of buying expired food. All this food is supposed to be free, not for Fatimas to profit from. Hunger could be eradicated easily but for this kind of thing. Pity you are a bad human being. The politics of hunger, huh.

for the letter in support of Fatimas

So now you admit that high end ethnic restaurants feed their customers garbage food from the road. Roadkill and they are paying good money for that. I hope some of them read this. Thank god I dont support those who supports a garbage store, the food bank and the salvation army. After all, the flyers they give out have Fatima listed as a good resource. Maybe the Alberta Government could put a stop to this and close these evil places down. Then people could get money for real food not moldy bread and expired coffee cream Myself I found Safeway sells their good bread for half price in the mornings and who really needs expired as opposed to good mile. Wake up and smell the coffee. Anyone who supports all these losers will go where they belong sooner or later. Congratulations for letting Edmonton know monsters do really exist. What a bunch of losers from hell. Literally I mean. Thats the Catholics for you, hypocrites and I guess that must include the rest of them.

Just to let you know how things went. Maintenance Enforcement told me they tried to collect the $34,500 in child support via a Federal Support Deduction notice. Brian Grant told a friend he was trying to pay it. Yeah, well after 3 more months nothing. In 17 years he could not find the Maintenance Enforcement office. Well, all you guys who support Brian Grant, Fatimas(rip-off store), Salvation Army(encourager of prostitution) and the Edmoton Food Bank (yeah, I guess Marjorie Benczs horses are eating enough right now, not like the poor people I know) and the best St. Francis of Assisi food bank (sick pigs and hypocrites), I hope you all know you all will be going to hell in the literal sense. To rip off poor people for food is really sick indeed.

I give up, he owes no more money. This money was for his daughters art school education but smoking crack or speed is more important in her fathers life. I hope he has an overdose of what he loves the most. At least I wont have to wait 17 more years for money that will never ever come.

Congratulations all you agencies, this story should warm your hearts. A crackhead who works at Fatimas and sells garbage at the Yellowhead Flea Marker gets all his money to do crack with and with all your guys support I am sure. Myself and my children will not ask you evil things for help as you are only there for prostitutes and their pimps and to support all crackheads and speed addicts, not real poor people. Go ahead and tell people you are really okay and tell God that at judgement day. Remember judgement will come to each and every one of you. And thanks for letting everyone know that ethnic restaurants use roadkill that should be free to cook for their meals they charge customers for. Have a great life.

I have been a regular customer at Fatima's grocery for over 20 years.  While sometimes the cleanliness, or crowededness of the aisles, can be called into question, it is family run with honesty and integrity.  I always enjoy my visits, as it is a social experience, as well as grocery trip.  I travel over an hour to Edmonton to go to Fatima's.

I have seen customers try to barter to almost nothing, as well as things being given to those who can't afford them.

Groceries are obtained through insurance claims, (i.e., the contents of an overturned grocery truck become salvage through insurance), and auction.  Many items are nearing or over their "best before date", therefore unsellable in regular markets, but in no way compromised for safety or edibility.  A lot of the same items can be found at Valco and Wholesale Liquidators.

There is a lot of produce that appeals to various ethnic groups, customers who otherwise would have to travel to specialty stores to pay a lot more.

In fact, Fatima's supplies groceries to many high end ethnic restaurants in and around the city.  Selling groceries direct is pretty much a service to the community.

The point of this site is not to complain about a small business because your ex happens to work there.  Nor is it a platform for you to express your unhappiness with various social welfare assistance establishments, or the Food Bank.

As a former professional, now paying for series of bad decisions, I have recommended Fatima's to many single parents, low income families, and new immigrants.
