The prices are very very decent and they have a wide selection of dishes, clothes and other needed things to furnish a new home. We recently bought a small 50-year-old cottage on the lake. It has saved us thousands to fill in the missing pieces for this second home.

Good place for used items, was surprised how organized it was, friendly staff. I will go backread more

I found the furniture and t-shirts were over priced. Thats my opinion! As the snarky cashier told…read moreme. Store was somewhat organized. Couple of men workers were nice. No sewing stuff available. Shoes mostly 5.00, old hanging pots with dirt and no hangers were 5.00 each. Crazy!! Thrift stores are selling free junk they get from donations. What justifies high prices for this? Just again, my opinion!

I decided to give it a try and found it to be such a positive and pleasant experience that I have been back every day since starting. The people there are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The really big bonus is the way that I feel in giving back to the community and helping kids get some good nutrition in the process. The folks who work there have actually begun to feel more like family than anything. Do yourself a favor and volunteer. You will Enriched by the experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed being able to tour this cemetery. The gate was open for easy access, and there…read moreis a kiosk with a directory near the entrance. It was interesting to read about the history and back story of the cemetery, & get some education about Athens history. They also have a war memorial for those in the cemetery who died in various wars, from Spanish-American War to the present Iraq & Afghanistan Wars. There is also an ash mausoleum. There is even a section roped off for babies, stillborns, and young children (from 1970s through 2016). It was sad, but so beautiful to see how loved these children were. Some headstones (of the cemetery in general) were from as recent as 2016, while some were as old as 1890s. Even the older headstones were as readable as the more recent ones, and the grounds were very well-maintained.

Wow. Just wow. I'm so blown away with this incredible place helping this homeless female vet in my…read moredire time of need. Reached out to them in desperation as I was living in my car and they reached out next morning asap eager to provide any assistance they could. I had been calling 20-30 homeless shelters and organizations a day trying to seek immediate shelter, and this ranch is the only place that stepped up to take me in . The owners are generous beyond words, just unconditional love and support every step of the way. Their cause is noble, their hearts are boundless, and they truly live by example. Could gush over them for days for all the help they've given me. Amazing housing accommodations- literally fully stocked cottage with the most tasteful decor and well thought out necessities already provided. If something wasn't there, they were eager to provide it asap. The farm is just adorable; all the animals are well taken care of and are such a pleasure to visit. It's quiet, comfortable, peaceful, and you can tell how much care was poured into putting these places together. Just all the little touches they've added. There's a full-sized oven/stove, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, washer and dryer provided, a place to shower, storage embedded for me to squirrel away belongings as needed, too lol. Roku TV was installed in my current unit today. Free and good Wi-Fi. Keurig for coffee. Even a water purifier! O_O Seriously what homeless shelter does that?? None. None I tell you. I've been there, lived in a shelter for 6 months, and this ranch blows every other place out of the water. If you are a woman veteran in need of housing assistance, please consider reaching out to Valor Ranch! If you are looking for a non-profit organization to support, I cannot recommend this lovely ranch enough!
