Grant - THE DECEPTION OF PUBLIC SERVICES & THE TRAP OF FIFEDOMFrom:Keith Grant To:warmingcenter@thehrdc.org; athornton@hrdc.org; Bozeman Public Comment Subject:[EXTERNAL]THE DECEPTION OF PUBLIC SERVICES & THE TRAP OF FIFEDOM Date:Tuesday, October 28, 2025 11:14:55 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. TO THE WARMING CENTER & HRDC FOOD BANK, RECENTLY (TYPING IN CAPS SO ‘I’ CAN SEE WHAT I TYPE), NOT YELLING. I'LL START AGAIN………. RECENTLY I REQUESTED WITH THE PEOPLE AT THE FRONT DESK THAT THEWARMING CENTER BRING SOME SUGAR TO THE CENTER FROM THE HRDC FOOD BANK NEXT DOOR. I WAS TOLD BY ART THAT SUGAR WAS BAD FOR YOUAND WE DON'T HAVE ANY BECAUSE NOBODY'S DONATED ANY. I WAS STUNNED. EVERYBODY INCLUDING DEATH ROW INMATES HAS THE RIGHT TO DRINK COFFEE THE WAY THEY WANT IT. WE DON'T THEN I WENT TO THE HRDC FOOD BANK AND ASKED THE ANIMATED (HANDS)RECEPTIONIST IF I COULD GET SOME SUGAR FOR THE FOOD BANK SO I COULD BRING IT OVER FOR COFFEE ? I INTENDED TO GET SOME CREAMER AND HOTCHOCOLATE MILK TOO. HE SAID; ‘ I COULD FILL OUT A MONTHLY NEEDS FORM AND GET SOME SUGAR AND TAKE IT OVER TO THE WARMING CENTER AND DONATE IT IF I WANTEDTO BECAUSE….. BECAUSE THE FOOD BANK TAKES FOOD ‘NEXT DOOR’ WHEN THEY CAN AND ‘THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS TO DO THAT REGULARLY BOTTOM LINE: THE FIFEDOM OF THE HRDC FOOD BANK & HRDC WARMING CENTER IS REAL. AND WE'RE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR GUYS CRAP. IT'S NOT US, IT'S ‘YOU ‘ AFTER THE ANIMATED RECEPTIONIST AT THE HRDC FINISHED HIS SCRIPTED MONOLOG ON HOW TO WORK WITH NEITHER FACILITIES. I WALKED OUTSIDE AND SAID ‘ FXXX IT, I'LL DO IT MYSELF AND DID. ATTACHED IS THE INCORRECTLY FILLED OUT HRDC DONATIONS TAXDOCUMENT THAT STATES I PURCHASED $39.39 IN SUGAR. THE COPY IS ATTACHED. I ALSO PURCHASED CREAMER AND HOT CHOCOLATE WHICH IS ALSO ILLEGAL ACCORDING TO THE WARMING CENTER I SPECULATE THE WARMING CENTER DOESN'T WANT US TO BE WARM ORHAVE FOOD. I'M FXXXING SERIOUS NOBODY IS RECEIVING OUR REQUESTS OR COMMENTS SERIOUSLY. WE ARE IN SOME CASES IMMEDIATELY REBUTTED OR DEBATED BY AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS YET TO EARN ¼ OF WHAT SOME OF US HAVE IN OURLIFE AND IS CONVINCED WE'RE A DRUG ADDICT EVEN IF WE'RE NOT. AND THE ONE'S WHO ARE DRUG ADDICTS ARE THEIR FRIENDS. IT'S NOT A JOKE. HERE'S WHY OLD WARMING CENTER NEXT TO THE BIKE KITCHEN HAD........ ABUNDANCE OF SOCKS, SHOES, CLOTHING, JACKETS AND WINTER GEAR THAT‘WE COULD LOOK THROUGH’ AND DID NOT HAVE TO ASK FOR A KID* (WHO'S YOUNGER THEN OUR CHILDREN'S AGE) TO GO AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING WEUSED TO DO OURSELVES. AND SOME TIMES THAT INCLUDED A WALK THROUGH OF WHICH I'D SAY ‘ NOTHING NEW’ CONTINUED: MORE FOOD 24X7 COFFEE AND SUGAR AND CREAMER HOT CHOCOLATE CUP A NOODLES OAT MEAL BREAD PLUS WHAT WAS DONATED THAT NIGHT LIKE PIZZA ETC…….. I KNEW PEOPLE WHO ATE 4 OR 5 OAT MEALS A DAY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'TWALK TO THE SALVATION ARMY TO GET A SACK LUNCH BECAUSE IT WAS TOO FAR TO WALK. I'M FXXXING SERIOUS. THAT'S STILL AN ISSUE ALSO THE OLD WARMING CENTER HAD BUS SERVICE 2X IN THE A.M. AND BOTTOM LINE AGAIN NEW WARMING CENTER HAS NONE OF THE ABOVE QUALITIES THAT THE OLDWARMING CENTER HAD. WE WERE WARMER AND WE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF FOOD, COFFEE, SUGAR, HOT CHOCOLATE, INSTANT OATMEAL & CUP A NOODLES WITHOUT SOMEONE CONTROLLING HOW MUCH WE ATE OF THE FREE FOOD. INCLUDING MORE CLOTHING & BOOTS THE GUY WHO WOULD EAT 4-5 OATMEALS A DAY WAS 'JOHN THE SHERPA'. IASKED HIM WHY HE ATE THAT EVERY NIGHT. HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID; ‘ HUNGRY, TOO FAR ‘ WHEN I SAID ‘ FREE LUNCHES AT SALVATION ARMY ‘. IMISS JOHN AND RICHARD THEY BOTH USED TO MAKE ME LAUGH LASTLY DONATIONS: I VOLUNTEERED TO TAKE DONATIONS FROM HRDC DOWNTOWN TO HRDC WARMING CENTER BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE WOULD DO IT ! WHY ? WHY IS NOBODY TRYING TO EMULATE THE ACTIONS OF THE LEGACYWARMING CENTER THAT HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR IT BUT ROOM. IT WAS TOO SMALL ANSWER: BECAUSE IF THEY DO THEN ADAMS WRONG AND LALEA IS RIGHTAND EMMY WAS A NEW EMPLOYEE WHO HAD JUST STARTED. THOSE ‘ WE'RE THE BEST DAYS ‘ BECAUSE WE WE'RE WARM AND HAD FOOD, COFFEE, SUGAR AND HOT CHOCOLATE AND NOBODY SAID ‘ NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO CHANGE THE PROGRAMMING OF THE HVAC ANDWE GOTTA CALL SOMEBODY BUT NOBODY KNOWS WHO TO CALL ‘ REALLY ? WOW AND A FINAL SHOT THE OTHER PHOTO ATTACHED IS THE ‘ HRDC DONATIONS CART ‘ AT R.E.I. THAT IS FULL OF JACKETS AND CLOTHING AND CAMPING GEAR THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE NEED TO JUST ' SURVIVE THE WINTER ' BUT WE NEED MORE PEOPLE NO YA DON'T, YOU NEED SOMEBODY TO MANAGE THE PEOPLE AND CALL THESHOTS LIKE, ‘ SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GO NEXT DOOR AND GET SOME SUGAR & CREAMER FOR THE COFFEE AND LOOK TO SEE IF THEY'VE GOT ANY HOT CHOCOLATEWHILE YOUR THERE ‘ I'VE HEARD THAT SAID AT THE LEGACY WARMING CENTER LALEA GOT AN ‘A’ FROM ME WHEN SHE SAID ‘THAT’ WHICH IS WHY I SAID ONE TIME ‘ YA WANNA WASH MY BACK ‘ TO HER WHEN I ENTERED THE‘TOKEN CONTROLLED SHOWER’ WHICH I'M GLAD DIDN'T GET BROUGHT UP TO THE NEW MILLION DOLLAR WARMING CENTER SUGAR IS NOT A CRIME. AND NEITHER IS CREAMER & HOT CHOCOLATE COLD HYPOTHERMIC PEOPLE APPEARING SOON AT THE WARMING CENTERBECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS AND NOBODY HAS DONATED ANY CLOTHING THIS IS WHY WE SAY ‘ THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL US ‘ AND YOU ARE, BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO ALLOW VOLUNTEERS TO GETTHE FORK AND SPOON DIRTY BY COOKING US BREAKFAST LIKE THEY USED TO. I'M SERIOUS AGAIN I'M CONVINCED THAT SOME PEOPLE END UP AT THE WARMING CENTERBECAUSE THE ILLEGAL LAW FIRMS (LIKE BECK AMSDEN AND STAPLES, STUART WHITEHARE OR LUKE FAUST TO NAME A FEW) COULDN'T PUT'EM INPRISON AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENTS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENTS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH VICTIM OR PLAINTIFFS I'M SERIOUS AGAIN THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT CAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH SO HELP ME GOD THIS LETTER WILL BE SENT TO THE BOZEMAN DAILY CHRONICLE AS WELLLETS SEE IF THEY PRINT IT THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS, KINDA THAT'S ALL FOR NOW KEITH GRANT CC: CHUCK WINN, ALI THORNTON, BOZEMAN DAILY CHRONICLE PS: ACCOMPANYING PHOTO'S INCLUDES PHOTO OF STEVEN (CLIENT) AS I WAS TELLING JOM ABOUT THE 'FORCED SURGAR EMBARGO' AT THE WARMINGCENTER BY A GENTLEMEN I HAVE CODE NAMED 'STORKAN CLINK' AND HE IS THANKS KEITH GRANT406-209-7805 CELL
