The seed for Habitat for Humanity was planted at a community farm outside of Americus, by farmer…read moreand biblical scholar Clarence Jordan. Jordan along with Habitat founders Millard and Linda Fuller developed the concept of partnership housing. Those in need of shelter would work side by side with volunteers to build affordable homes at no profit. House payments would be combined with no interest loans provided by supporters which would then be used to build more homes. In 1973, the Fullers took their house building concept to Zaire where they worked for three years. They then returned to the United States and founded Habitat for Humanity International in 1976. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn became involved and raised awareness. Habitat is now in all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. They have helped 29 million people be able to afford safe shelter. In 1991 Habitat for Humanity launched the concept of the ReStore in Winnipeg, Canada. In 1992 the first Habitat for Humanity restore opened in the U.S. in Austin Texas. The ReStores accept donations from the community and home improvement stores and then resells the items to the public at a discounted price. The profit from the ReStore supports the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. This store in Palm Bay is part of the Space Coast Habitat for Humanity. They have helped 575 families in 37 years and they are designated as a Veteran Build affiliate serving the veterans in the community. They support programs for home ownership and home preservation through zero-interest mortgages, volunteer labor, and community support. I love supporting Habitat for Humanity and stop in the thrift stores whenever I can. This store was large and clean with a mixture of new and gently used items. They had furniture, home goods, home improvement items, and more. My favorite find was a vintage Capodimonte porcelain mirror vanity with perfume bottle. If you have any home improvement projects on the horizon, I encourage you to check them out.

The Ascension Catholic Thrift Shop works in partnership with Ascension Social Concerns, a non…read moreprofit staffed by volunteers. Their mission is to provide food, clothing, rent, utilities, medication, gas, and tuition to their school to anyone in need in the Melbourne area. They operate a large food pantry next to the thrift store. I stopped by to check out this thrift store during a recent trip to Melbourne. Parking is tough and I had to wait a few minutes for a spot to open up. It was well worth the wait because the store is quite large and neatly organized. Ascension Catholic Thrift sells gently used furniture, collectibles, clothes, bikes, shoes, accessories, books, movies, records, home goods, games, toys, art, small appliances, and more. Christmas was half off and they had ornaments for only $1. They had a number of televisions plugged in and operating which I don't usually see at thrift stores. Prices were more than fair, selection was vast, and the volunteers were friendly and helpful. In addition to the support they provide the community they are also keeping items out of the landfill and offering discounted items to people who might not be able to otherwise afford them. This worthy organization is a great place to donate, shop, and volunteer your time to.

I had a very disappointing experience at this thrift store. While I was breastfeeding my child, a…read morevolunteer was extremely disrespectful and made me feel very uncomfortable. She followed us around the store, stared at me, and smiled while repeatedly implying that I needed to go somewhere else. Breastfeeding my child is completely normal and legal, and I should not have been made to feel unwelcome or ashamed for feeding my baby. I hope management addresses how customers--especially breastfeeding mothers--are treated in the future.

They are a non profit with the mission to care for the community's homeless, displaced, and abandoned animals. They operate one main no kill animal shelter for adoptions and four Molly Mutt Thrift Shops that provide financial support to the organization. They also run a Spay and Neuter Clinic, a low cost clinic to provide affordable health care options, and the Heavenly Paws Chapel to provide compassionate care to those who have lost a pet. During a recent visit to Palm Bay, I was able to visit Molly Mutt IV. They also have locations in Melbourne, Rockledge, and Merritt Island. The store was clean and well organized. During my visit they were having a sale on handbags. Other items they sell include clothes, home goods, collectibles, holiday decorations, furniture, books, records, silver, toys, jewelry, pet supplies, and more. There are two full rooms to explore. I love any charity that helps animals. I found the prices to be fair and the proceeds go to a wonderful charity. Please consider donating to and shopping at Molly Mutt.

My husband and I recently brought quilts and drapes to donate. They were packed in plastic…read morecontainers that we wanted to keep, so we drove around to the back as instructed. Unfortunately, the donation area required carrying everything up a flight of steps, which is very difficult for us. I knocked on the door to ask for assistance. The woman who answered seemed irritated that I had interrupted her, was rude, and appeared very reluctant to help. She eventually brought out cardboard boxes for us to transfer our donations into and, again reluctantly, helped us. Since the quilts and drapes could easily be damaged by rain, I suggested they might want to move the boxes inside. She simply shut the door. The experience left us feeling unwelcome and unappreciated. Donations are given freely by people who are trying to help, and a little kindness goes a long way. Sadly, because of this experience, I will be taking my future donations to Nana's House instead. Marcie Ramirez

My experience is going to be different than most but it was a positive one…read more My wife passed away almost two years ago and last year I had been driving around with all her clothes and shoes not wanting to let anything go. I saw this place and felt, this was it. I ran inside to ask if they took donations and they said yes and to drive along the side of the building. I pulled up my SUV and asked if I could be alone while I did this and the sweet lady hugged me and said yes. I didn't hesitate and felt at ease with this thrift shop and prayed that all her beautiful clothes and shoes would bless the right people and that they too would look lovely in them. I will never go back to this thrift anytime soon for it was for a purpose. However, GO! They had some great things and prices at affordable prices. Godspeed!

It has since been brought to my attention that the business in question is known as Restoration Antiques, which sublets space from Funk's Antiquary, which is basically an antique mall. With that being said, my review stays at 1 star. Why, you might ask? I have been harassed and intimidated by this business, both on yelp, and beyond my imagination, by phone. Any business that resorts to such low tactics is undeserving of my business.
