Non have been able to provide any services, it's always some reason I don't qualify. What has the world come to where you need so much more than being homeless to qualify for services. I have exhausted so much money paying for hotels. The last hotel my family and I resided in the staff put us in a hotel room with a broken window because of their negligence my autistic son fell 4 story's and because so we are now fighting a CFS case for the past few months. My husband and I came to this organization looking to be able to save up for just a month while I continue school. Their reasoning for not helping us was because I had no connection with surrounding areas hello I'm homeless I have no connection with any area ‍ weird. They also said I couldn't go to school I have to be working which is also weird considering my husband already works, by going to school I'm working towards something more permanent for my family. Neither one of us does any type of drugs or drink, we are just a family who have been experiencing hard times that won't give up. We only needed 30 days to save up some money before our court date, finding a house is the last thing we need to complete before we can get the kids back and we were hoping to stay here for a month so we can save enough to cover move in cost when we find our next home.

There is parking in the front of store, but it usually gets taken rather quickly especially between 2 PM to 4 PM on weekdays. You can also park in the back, near the area where donations are dropped off. I usually come on Tuesdays, where discounts usually don't apply to me. I like Wednesday's where there are student/teacher discounts. To my luck, I went on a spin the wheel day today! You get to spin the wheel after your purchase for an opportunity to win items or get a discount. I like browsing their toys, vintage items, and office supplies. I usually get very good second hand items such as staplers, hole punchers, DVDs, shoes, and board games. This location is actually my favorite place to shop for vintage film cameras (I'm afraid to post this because my fellow Yelp friends will be coming more to grab them before I do!). Today, I bought a good pocket minolta film camera, some stuffed animals, and some office supplies. The cashiers are sweethearts and are willing to help you look at items! They also have an extensive amount of used clothes and furniture. It's definitely my favorite thrift store and will continue to be so.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it just wasn't for me…read more The store has a lot of items, but it felt more cluttered than exciting. Part of what makes a great thrift store fun is the hunt, the setup, the vibe, and finding those unexpected treasures but here it felt like there was just a lot of stuff without much organization or thought behind the layout. The pricing was another thing that surprised me. A lot of the prices didn't really make sense for a thrift store and felt on the higher side compared to other spots I've visited. The atmosphere was just missing something. No cool decor, no personality, and overall the vibe wasn't there for me. It feels like it caters more to an older crowd, which is totally fine, but just not my style of thrifting. Also, no restroom available, which is always frustrating when you're shopping and spending time looking around. 4/10 for me. I love discovering new thrift stores, but this one isn't a place I'd go out of my way to visit again.

The vegetables are literally throbbing with good vibes. Best of all, you get a seasonally different spread which exercises your cooking creativity. The lovely ladies who run this place tucked behind a church off Foothill Boulevard, have nurtured a wonderful California native plants garden that blooms with pops of color sequentially throughout the year. Their organization supports many local needy families with education, clothes, and financial assistance. The architecture itself is a contrast to euro-anglo-Claremont, and showcases indigenous mud-based architecture. The bilingualism of this organization demonstrates the riches of California and especially its hardworking and community-spirited Latino peoples. In contrast to the contrived, rugged individualism and commercialism of anglo-America , it feels welcoming and warm here. Bring cash to pay on site.

I say this because she just left me in the front saying the guys would help me. To her credit she did seem pretty busy however first impressions.... Didn't see any helpers so I went back again to the office part and a very friendly and polite young man sitting at one of the desks led me to a walk in fridge and immediately I fell in love. Basil, green beans cilantro eggplant Swiss chard kale turnips carrots guava wow. There was way more variety then that I could not recall them all. All grown right there on the property and cultivated with a love for healthy eating and respect. I was thrilled to have landed there. Fruits and veggies and herbs are not cheap in the grocery store and as I am coming to learn are often genetically modified and coated with who knows what kind of chemicals and pesticides. I loved the fact in First of all the place is huge. There is a Methodist church in the front then you take a long winding road with some turns the property was beautiful and I had one of my dogs with me who was recently attacked by a much bigger dog and was clearly traumatized by the incident. Scared to go outside and body language spoke for him.

I went into this thrift store expecting a positive experience, especially because I genuinely…read moreappreciate organizations like this. Before checking out, I overheard the same cashier explaining to another older customer that the people working there volunteer their time and aren't paid. That honestly made me appreciate the organization even more because I believe volunteering from the kindness of your heart is something worth supporting. Unfortunately, that appreciation disappeared the moment we reached the register. The same cashier was checking out my sister and me, and I'm not sure if the way we were treated had anything to do with us being two younger brown adults, but the interaction was incredibly uncomfortable and humiliating. My sister tried to explain the price of the hangers she was purchasing. Rather than simply listening to her, the cashier questioned her and refused to believe what she was saying, even after my sister showed her a physical picture she had taken showing the price. To be clear, this review is not about the price. We completely understand that employees need to verify prices. What was upsetting was the unnecessary attitude and the way my sister was made to feel as though she was being dishonest. Then, completely unnecessarily, the cashier commented that the hangers were too "small" for our clothes. What exactly was she implying by that? Was she making a comment about our bodies or our size? Regardless of what she meant, it was an extremely inappropriate thing to say to a customer. My sister politely explained that she was purchasing the hangers to hang her pants. Instead of simply moving on, the cashier responded with "ew, that's disgusting." Who says something like that to a customer? There was absolutely no reason for that comment. It was rude, disrespectful, embarrassing, and completely inappropriate. A customer should never have to stand at a register and be spoken to in a way that makes them feel humiliated for something as simple as purchasing clothing hangers. What makes this even more upsetting is that I had been excited to support this organization because I respect what thrift stores and volunteer-based organizations represent. Unfortunately, one employee's behavior completely ruined that experience for me. I left feeling angry, disappointed, and, most importantly, humiliated on behalf of my sister. Watching someone speak to her that way while she remained polite was incredibly upsetting. I genuinely wish I had recorded the interaction because it was one of those situations where you leave thinking, Did that really just happen? I will never be returning to this location. I hope management takes complaints like this seriously and understands that volunteering or working for an organization does not give anyone the right to belittle, embarrass, or disrespect customers. People come into these stores to shop, donate, and support the organization. The absolute least they deserve is basic kindness and respect. One star is honestly generous. If zero stars were an option, that is what I would give

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN ASSOCIATING WITH THIS BUSINESS…read more TLDR: We have been repeatedly harassed over the adoption of this dog. She has threatened our friends and workplaces. She has FOUND OUR ADDRESS WITHOUT OUR CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE when we had just moved last month. She has posted our private information without our knowledge. Save yourselves time and go to the San Bernardino County Animal Shelter. We fostered a dog from here as a favor for a mutual friend, Royce. During the time Ruby (the dog) was with us, I sent numerous photos and communication to her privately. Royce then posted to 10k+ people our names, where we live, where my partner works, as well as photos of our house and Ruby WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE. Additionally, we were discussing the potential of foster failing, because Ruby has been a huge blessing to our lives. Within the FB post on August 16th, Royce stated she hoped we would foster fail and asked everyone to pray. Royce detailed a very sweet story of how my partner originally found Ruby in the Cajon Pass and surrendered her to the rescue, as well as more info. I did not have knowledge of this post until a couple days ago. On a Monday, Royce and I had a phone call about the health of the dog and I told her she should visit during our next vet apt to see how well she's doing. Ruby came to us extremely dirty and itchy from her property, but we have poured a lot of love into her. She asked if we wanted to adopt, and before I could answer she told us to think about it and that cost would be $300. At this point, zero mention of contracts for fostering or adoption have been discussed. Monday 2pm- Royce texted me that she would discount to $200. At this time, I was taking care of Ruby and getting ready for work. I get off at 8pm, and by the time my partner and I finished our evening it was 9pm. I decided to reply in the morning. Tuesday morning, I woke up to a text from Royce at 10pm saying, "is that not good enough for you?" I replied at 7am and apologized for not responding. I told her we had a busy day (taking care of Ruby, work, car A/C going out) and that we would love to adopt her. I said thank you for the discount and that my partner will send her a Zelle now. SHE TRIED TO CANCEL THE ADOPTION. We already paid for the dog, and she acknowledged we had paid for the dog. She told me I was ungrateful for not saying thank you. That I didn't reply fast enough, and that I didn't "kiss her ass enough". We kept Ruby, as we paid the money for her. There is no one else lined up to take her, so she would just go back to a kennel. She has since posted the dog for adoption, even though she is not in her possession. She has threatened our friends, to show up at my partner's workplace, to call the cops, and continues to blow up our phones. She called animal control on us, which they closed out the call in 5 min when seeing Ruby was well taken care of. This has been a traumatic experience for my partner and I. We will likely never use a private rescue again. It's been awful. We are good people with lots of experience with dogs. We just hope the next person has the same insight we do now.
