I'm leaving a 1 star rating which I'll go through fully and explain my reasoning as to such…read more The neighborhood house clothes closet. This is now a former shell of what it use to be. For context I've been going here since I was a baby, now I'm currently a adult as we speak. When I was a child the staff there use to be extremely kind and greeted people, for clients such as what I and my parents fell under we were able to gain stuff to help us immensely due to low wages. Such as every month you can come in get 3 tops, 3 bottoms, a jacket or winter coat, a blanket/sheets every 6 months, socks, underwear, bra, shoes every 3 months. The staff there would even point out stuff to people there whenever they would have good items such as clothing or furniture, Because the clothes closet was intented for people not making enough money to get clothes on their back, and necessities. Not to mention everything they get is **donated** not sold to them it's given. They didn't have it open to the public originally due to it was connected to neighborhood house, however slowly they started to implement cost if clients wanted extra clothing however at highest something would cost was $5 at most and that's if it was furniture, and slowly was open to the public after years. But ever since they got new management they have become a former shell of what the use to be, now they're using their donations given to them to make a quick buck and it disgusts me. Clients now can only go 6 months out of the year when 2 years prior they could go every month because it was intended for families who make less money. You can only get a winter jacket and light jacket once every 2 years (so if you have growing children good luck keeping them warm) and same thing for bedding. Next they now have become full on money goblins, everything they have is given/donated to them and they are taking those donations and selling them for ridiculously high prices raging as high as $100. In fact they are even putting aside items for resellers to buy off them before anyone else can get to them which I overheard the visit I had today. Furthermore they now have implemented tables/racks that clients cannot even get items off them for free like this was intended for selling purses as high as 20-60 dollars. And due to them now trying to make a quick buck their racks are over filled to the brim with clothes to the point you can hardly move the clothing to see what's there in the racks at times, especially the coats it's absolutely ridiculous. And last their staff is extremely disrespectful. Everytime I try to great them I'm always met with a scoff or annoyed sigh, and they nit pick the clothing like it's coming out their own wallet. Overall I'm disgusted at the Neighborhood houseclothes closet it's a former shell of what it use to be and is now a money grab for resellers or outrageous prices. If you want to donate high valuable stuff to reach a family in need, don't do so here I'd suggest Facebook market place and putting it up for free for or gods helping hand if you want your donations to hit a family in need because they'll use your items here for a quick buck, and very limited for families who actually need it.

They offer lots of youth programing, tours, and more. But I came here with our local Yelp team a few weeks ago for their main fundraiser, Goat Yoga, and it was a total and utter blast. But be prepared, if you're coming for real focused yoga experience, this ain't it. It's definitely more of a fun experience than mindful. But you'll be surrounded by adorable goats while getting some stretching in to boot. And being around all those cute animals (dressed in halloween costumes, no less!) relaxed me more than any other yoga class I've ever attended. If you attend goat yoga here are a few tips: bring a yoga mat you're not super attached to. My neighbor had a very cute goat in a hot dog costume munching on the corner of hers, while fellow Yelper Mehdi A got a nice little poop surprise on his (don't worry--Pingree staff walk around with disinfectant ready to clean at at a moment's notice). The warehouse where it's run IS heated, so no need to come bundled. But wear clothes you may not mind getting dirty since you're surrounded by hay and livestock. But it's so so fun! The goats are adorable. The staff is friendly and passionate, the yoga instructor had a blast teaching the class, and all the guests were so friendly and enjoyable to interact with. Goat yoga here sells out SUPER fast so I'd recommend getting on their mailing list so you can get a notice right away when they open up new classes. Online ticketing is easy and each class is around $30 a piece which I thought was incredibly reasonable given how much fun you'll have. It's also their main fundraiser so it's for a worthy cause! OR just sign up for a tour on their website or check out their other programming for a real farm experience right in Detroit!
