    This organization should be ashamed of their selves! My family is not from Houston but a situation…read morehappened with one of my very close relatives that currently lives there. It took me days to encourage this family member to use her local resources to get some help with a situation that happened to her. She even had a terrible suicidal episode that morning because of her PTSD from what happened to her. She finally took my advice and contacted this organization 24/7 hotline. She was laughed at on the phone and was discouraged from reporting her incident. The night shift "supervisor" scheduled her an appointment with a counselor on November 10th to receive some help. That's 10 days later from the date of the phone call. Is that protocol? Is that how you are taught to assist your community members? I decided to call the hotline to speak with a supervisor, but I was met with the same lady. She refused to even provide her name to me so I can properly report her conduct on the phone. I'm not having to stay up tonight to sooth my relative from her experience and encourage to still report her incident. I hope no one has this experience and I hope this organization is shut down for a lack of knowledge and care for their community members. One word, DISGUSTING.

    After working as a sub at the holly hall safe house and bringing classroom supplies, gifts and…read moreclothing donations, I saw the need and the benefit that community donations bring to the population served specifically at this location. After my assignment, I was told to bring the car load full of quality donations of children's books and clothing collected from homes in Bellaire (very affluent community in Houston). So I did. Or at least tried to. I walked into the main offices on Waugh and tho I was standing right at the reception window, 18" from some woman sorting mail, I was never acknowledged and it wasn't until another woman came in who was then helped before me, was I told in a dismissively contentious way that only new stuff was accepted. I wasn't asked if my stuff was new, despite 4 full boxes being exactly that, so I took the stuff to The Cottage Shop that serves The Women's Home instead. In addition, my mother tried to partner her non-profit Daughter's of the British Empire with this organization and attempted on 6 different occasions via phone email and letters to offer this group a lump sum cash distribution from their annual fundraisers which would have been over $5,000 but never once received any follow up. As a teacher in Houston ISDvery familiar with the social services offered to my students, I will never again attempt to work with or help this organization for its totally offensive treatment of me and it's disregard of cash donors.

    Great selection with a wide variety. My friend found high quality: Lennox Christmas Stoneware (9…read moreplates for $130); I found a beautiful solid wood velvet lined keepsake box (20x6x6) for $5. Plenty of well-ordered clothing, housewares, and furniture, without that thrift store smell. It also has a boutique section. Parking was scarce but additional parking was available at St Christopher's just down the street, which also had a resale shop.

    I've driven past this place so many times and always said, "I need to go there" and finally, after…read moreyearsss, I went! I was very surprised by the selection they offer. A little bit of everything: apparel, furniture, accessories, decor, kitchen and seasonal items. I got myself a cool, new painting for $12 (the original Kirkland price sticker was still on the back for $29.99)! The colors were vibrant and hummingbirds are my favorite. Looks great on my wall! The cashier was so cheerful and even suggested we sign up for emails to get notifications for certain discount days. Apparently the day I went, it was 20% off the entire purchase! Super rad. Wanna know something even better?! I started following their Facebook page and MAM actually stands for Memorial Assistance Ministries- "Services and trainings focused on workforce development, financial stability, mental health, and more." I LOVE that. Doing good for the community! I saw a solid white tea/espresso cup with saucer set of 4, by Crate & Barrel for $2/piece! They could be purchased together or separately.... of course I was like "Nah, not today." Now I have regrets!
