Yesterday, I was blessed with the opportunity to volunteer at The Main Place. Prior to learning…read moreabout their services through my employer, I had never heard about them. Now, I can share their story to my fellow Yelpers! To begin, The Main Place is a non-profit organization that provides clothing to homeless teens in the area. Their unique motto is "A retail store without a cash register." Let's face it, there are many, many people who do not have a home, a place to call their own. Families live in their vehicles, kids "couch-hop" from one friend's home to another. These kids have no options and are stuck to make the best of their situations. Since there are other organizations that provide assistance, this organization opened to help clothe these teens. The Main Place originally started as a means to provide attire for proms for these kids. If you really think about it, it is such a loving idea. Most of these homeless kids who still attend school wear the same clothes daily, so of course, they would not have nice clothes to attend school dances that we all take for granted. Soon, the organization realized daily clothes are needed, as well. As mentioned prior, The Main Place is non-profit and is SOLELY run by 100% volunteers. NO employees. How it works: school counselors refer these kids to TMP, the kids are given vouchers, and it works by appointments only. The store is divided by little "stores"- a boys and girls dress clothes area, a girls prom wear, casual clothes for boys and girls, and items for infants. What I think is a great idea is that they have those areas that provide nice, dressy clothes that these kids can wear for job interviews. They, too, need to dress to impress. The director of TMP is a gal named Jennifer. Wow, I was so impressed with her. Her excitement was infectious! It was obvious just how much she loves this organization and helping those less fortunate. A couple of families arrived while we were there, and the volunteers got busy helping them, like a personal shopper! They put together entire wardrobes, right down to shoes, jewelry, and hats. It was wonderful to witness the joy on the teens' faces! If you have it in your heart (and closet), I ask that you please help this great, little "store." What they need: new and gently used clothes, shoes, and accessories. And, of course, money to pay for utilities. For those who work in the business world, they really need dressy clothes so these teens can look nice for interviews. Also, they really need new undergarments (would you wear used undies?), socks and shoes--especially ladies shoes that are small, like sizes 5-6. I thank any of you who have read this and I apologize for the lengthiness, there is just so much info to share! And remember, pay it forward!

Ok so I have contemplated for weeks, trying to decided if I should post a review or not... After…read morecarefulll consideration Something in my heart compelled me to write about my experience as it could possible help another young women and children. About 3 weeks ago me and my 2 YO son was exited from the program after a a month stay (which I was more than happy to do) Although the facility is nice it's definitely not for any domestic violence victims And I strongly urge you to stay far away. Not only is the staff aggressive and tempromental but extremely controlling. Controlling over your whereabouts every second of the day, Every dime you make, what you can spend (if they allow it) where you can go, where you can work, where your kids go to school ect. The manipulation and re victimizing is completely beyond me. I was mortified when I found out they kept tabs and cameras on when I was eating and if I "ate too late" or if I didn't do something according to detailed description. I honestly feel this place should be shut down because the way its being ran is ineffective. And in the beginning they give women a false sense of security to make things look good for the donors, it's completely sad... . My lawyer was completed to sue but due to clause in the agreement you have to sign, it would be difficult.... Just do yourself a favor stay on the street or stay away.I fell bad for anyone who comes in contact with the current staff and I feel horrible for the founder who I'm sure started this non profit in "good faith"

We were participating in it for a while and we needed huge help. Well, God had a huge plan when we prayed. All by his grace, he showed us to come across being in Emily's place.

I couldn't be more thankful and grateful for them and their caring and loving hearts.

I'm filing a complaint with this organization this evening, but also wanted to write a review…read more I would hope that anyone who donates to this organization goes elsewhere. I would suggest donating to Grace Grapevine, they are so kind and more Christ like than the people representing the financial assistance office at CCA. I seen a caseworker at the front desk at Grace Grapevine hugging someone who came in for assistance. They are so nice and patient. I love the positivity they give off. On Monday November 25, 2024 I arrive at CCA at 9am to fill out an application for rental assistance. When you walk in you're required to grab a number. I grabbed my number and I was #51. I didn't have all my documentation ready so I did have to use their printing room while I was waiting to be called. CCA takes walk ins from 9am to 11am (if your number isn't called by 11am then you have to come back at 1pm, as they close the office for lunch from 11am to 1pm.) Unfortunately my number.was not called by 11am so I had to come back. When you return to the office you're required to pull a new number (so you'll have a new place in line.) I got back in line at 11:50am at the front door (first in line.) The doors opened back at 1pm, grabbed my number. My number was called around 1:05pm. I went to the front desk, the rude woman checked to make sure I had all my documents. I was missing my ledger. I requested my landlord send it to me. He was able to send it about an hour later (maybe a little over.) In order to receive an appointment with the caseworker, you have to have all documentation ready. The rude lady looked over my ledger and added it to my documentation in which she kept and created me a file. Now that I had all my documentation, I was given an appointment for Monday December 2 at 9:45am. On Monday, December 2, which is today I arrived at 9:40 AM , spoke with the rude lady at the front to inform her I was there for my appointment. She said "okay you can have a seat." Right as I was about to walk to my seat she got my attention so I turned back around and she asked (while holding my ledger in her hand) "are you more than one month behind on rent, because we're only helping for December..?" I informed her that I was more than one month behind on rent, and that she should be aware of that because she has all my documentation and a form clearly stating that I am more than one month behind. She then says "Well, unfortunately I have to cancel your appointment and we cannot help you. Per our guidelines you can not be more than one month behind. Of course I was disappointed and I told her it was okay for me to only receive one month help, my landlord is doing his best to work with me. I also said to her "You knew I was more than one month behind a week ago. Why would you even waste my time coming up here?" Genuine question. People make mistakes and I would've accepted and appreciated if she told me that she overlooked it, but nope the rude lady got Loud (at a Christian organization..) I'm the only one that should be frustrated, I am behind on my bills and being told they can't help me after spending 8 hours of my life at CCA. I would've rather spent that 8 hours volunteering there because they clearly need more reps assisting the amount of people coming in requesting help. They need loving help. People who have a passion in helping and serving. Although I am sad and very disappointed that I won't be able to get the help that I need. I am more disappointed in the way that I was treated and talk to. Not once did I get loud (raise my tone.) The representative at the front desk needs to be talked to and reminded that that is a Christian organization and she should be a rep representing Jesus Christ. I am being very honest when I say that your donation should go elsewhere. I am a single mother and I am five months pregnant. I am very emotional right now and that lady, that rude lady needs to learn how to talk to people.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR DONATIONS TO THIS PLACE…read more THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE AGENCY!!! They solicit donations and DO NOT COME PICK IT UP EVEN AFTER CONFIRMING SCHEDULE!!! My parents received fliers from Make a Wish asking for donations such as household items, toys, etc. Since they were incidentally in midst of moving, they went through things and neatly packaged 10+ large bags of toys and clothing, and household items. They called ahead to schedule a pickup and later also called to confirm and left messages. On the scheduled day (also written on the flyer), they set the items out on the curb during early morning waiting for pickup. Being senior folks themselves, they went through a lot of trouble and carried many bags of heavy items to the curb. Yet the donation pickup NEVER CAME. NO CALL NO SHOW NADA. At the end of the day, they had to go out and drag everything back themselves. With intentions to help and make a difference, they were left disappointed, angry and with an injured back. ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOLICITING FOR DONATIONS. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO PUT THE DONATIONS TO GOOD USE. WE WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS CAUSE AGAIN.

***Luggage for foster children***…read more We were looking for a foster organization that we can donate our luggage to. We wanted to support the foster children by giving them their own bag so they are not carrying their items in trash bags. We tired a few locations and was recommended this location (Bair Foundation) and one in the Austin area. Jodi was very kind and appreciative of the donations. I asked if there was anything else we can do and she gave me the upcoming Christmas list for the children. I will meet the deadline of 8 Dec with the gifts. We look forward to supporting your Foundation. It's a small building, clean and Jodi is always available during business hours. She doesn't take a lunch.
