Dear Mr. Balmer,
Thank you for contacting Americans United. The government may contract with religious organizations to provide secular services, but it is unconstitutional for the government to solicit religious services. Is there any evidence that the Foundation's presentations in public schools contained religious content?
Best,
Ian Smith

That would have to be ascertained by someone skilled in observance of such. I only had my antennae
raised by a news story. From what I know about the CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, that some view as
a" cult", I would be more concerned with how and what techniques are being used. Again, that would
be for someone more skilled in this particular discernment, while being a direct observer.

From the WIKI > Technology application organizations
- Narconon is a drug education and rehabilitation program. The program is founded on Hubbard's belief that drugs and poisons stored in the body impede spiritual growth, and was originally conceived by William Benitez, a prison inmate who applied Hubbard's ideas to rid himself of his drug habit.[161][169] Narconon is offered in the United States, Canada and a number of European countries; its Purification Program uses a regimen composed of sauna, physical exercise, vitamins and diet management, combined with auditing and study.[161][169]
- Criminon is a program designed to rehabilitate criminal offenders by teaching them study and communication methods and helping them reform their lives.[161] The program originally grew out of the Narconon effort and today is available in over 200 prisons.[169] According to Melton, it has experienced steady growth, based on a good success rate, with low recidivism.[169]

Thanks for finally responding. I was not informed about the requirement until this past Tuesday, which is strange because I shopped there the previous week and the previous month.
Why it took so long for the volunteer to ask for my picture, you will know better than I. But on this day, the 26th, the first time I was asked to comply, I did refuse.
So I won't be shopping at The Giving Tree anymore, or any other pantry that requires this. If any volunteer told you that I refused previous to being made aware of this new procedure on Tuesday, the 26th, they are either badly confused, or a liar.
But, I am not surprised that what should have been a simple procedure would be confused and only around one person, here in Hawaii.

Thank you for responding.
P.S. That's a lot of pictures to take. It's a wonder things went so smoothly, and surprising they don't go any faster. Especially, as it appears, there are less people being served.
"The Giving Tree nourishes more than 25,000 people per year, including Hawaii's senior citizens, physically challenged, single parents, children, and large families struggling to make ends."
The Giving Tree Food Pantry's activity for 2009 consisted primarily of the distribution of perishable and non-perishable food for individuals and families in, but not limited to, downtown Honolulu. As Hawaii's largest food pantry, the Giving Tree Food Pantry provided 1,069,952 pounds of food for 24,369 households representing 40,456 adults and 16,342 children. The Giving Tree Food Pantry also provided at no cost to those in need, clothing, furniture, housewares and necessities of living.

Hi Vernon,
The The Giving Tree database has been a great tool in improving the capability and efficiency in the way TGT operates. It has eliminated missing and/ or misfiled cards, need for applications to fill out, speeds up the shopping process, cuts down the waiting period for shopperrs. The data we collect has been a vital tool in supplying TGT and HFB with neccessary information regarding those we help, how and where we can improve our services. A picture is part of this process and is another procedure to obtain positive identification for each shopper at the Giving Tree. Since we've implemented the picture taking about 1 month ago, you are the ONLY shopper that has refused to the picture taking process. Please keep in mind, that in the near future, it may be the standard procedure for food pantries and food distributions on the island of Oahu. So, until you agree to the picture taking process, you will might find it difficult to shop at the Giving TreeMaking a difference in the lives of Hawaii's people.Duane K. Makalena
