The Salvation Army USA complaint: Not being able to do laundry and shower

I was aware that on Saturday, Sunday, and the following Monday for Labor Day, the day room at a local shelter in Norfolk would be closed. However, unexpectedly, the head monitor came out after going inside and announced that the Day room would be closed until the following Tuesday. I was anticipating being able to do laundry and shower.

I was preparing for my fifth day at a bakery in Norfolk. The only time I could shower and do laundry was when the day room was open. My work hours were from 3 pm to 11 pm. That was my regular shift. I was unable to shower when I came back from work. I had been wearing the same clothes for three consecutive days. Thursdays were designated for linen washing, not personal laundry. Another staff member was just as responsible for the decisions concerning the day room.

Both the staff members were aware of my situation. They left me unsupported. Normally, the head monitor would make eye contact when coming in before opening the day room, but he avoided making eye contact with me. Although enough time has passed, I am still utterly upset about that. I walked away from there and proceeded to Virginia Beach.
