I frequently come here every month or two and find the best stuff!! I've gotten real leather…read morejackets for $20, a faux fur coat in great condition, a $5 vintage beaded jacket, a backpack shaped like a bottle of nail polish, and many other items! There's a lot of older/vintage type clothing here so if you're into that like I am, you can have a lot of fun finding new pieces for your wardrobe. Tip: the jacket area in the men's section can sometimes have women's jackets mixed in, so take a look and don't be too hung up over the labling of sections of the store. Look all over! You can find some real gems here if you are willing to sift through racks upon racks of clothing. Also, make sure to get a rewards card if you come here often!

I'm pretty disappointed to see the donation area left wide open after hours and people trashing…read morethrough donations, stomping through and the side of the building looks like a landfill. It's such a shame because people drop off, hoping their items can help generate money for a community organization that helps so many. It's not very good. Stewardship of people's donated property to let it get trashed and broken and spread out. It's hazardous and a community health issue. I have seen people rummaging through bags left on the donation deck at night and just obliterating mess left for volunteers on Monday. And there's no cleanup in the parking lot! They need to be gated and closed off after hours

Everything is overpriced. One DVD is $2 and the next is $4?!…read moreNo. Plus their knickknacks are constantly broken. Employees are incredibly rude. Clothes are are on their last leg... Few washes and their worn thin to the point of holes. Greedy. The whole franchise is super greedy. Pricing goods they get for free for more than their worth. I've seen things that were still on sale in Dollar Tree next door for a dollar one for three dollars here. Whoever is in charge of their pricing is a garbage human. I'd give a lower score if I could.

First time at savers, they definitely have a HUGE space and rows on rows of racks. To the right…read morewhen you walk in has aisles of books (buy4get1) and then ceramics and decor and old appliances and electronics toward the back near the restrooms. Restrooms leave something to be desired haha but they do have them available, no TP or soap so had to just make do with a #1 and get back to thrifting! :) Now they definitely have more cool brands for the female section usually at most thrift places i feel. The lady found 7-10 patagonias, some Oner, some cool vintage stuff we don't know where from. You donate something and they give you 20% off to spend in store. You can also sign up for their membership and get coupon QR codes to use on checkout. The men's section has a lot of jeans, dress shirts, active wear and light jackets etc. most items in the 10-20 dollar range with like Northface items being 20-30$ I saw a lot of Nike, addidas, Charles River, hill fiber, RL, etc. never know what you can find. Nothing for me in this trip but the space has ample room, employee that helped us was nice figuring out the promo's on checkout!

There are just so many good things to say about this place that I'm not sure where to start…read more First, it is not a "shelter" in the typical sense of the word, and the staff and guests do not refer to it as a "shelter". They consider themselves a "community", and act as such. There are NO lines for anything at the WLP. The women are served their meals at their tables by volunteers, and their materials are bussed for them once they are done, unless they choose to self-bus. The food. Oh heavens! WLP prides itself on serving nourishing, FRESH food. Each meal will have all nutritional requirements met, and there is always a veggie option. We're not talking canned goods or sandwiches here, folks. No, this is chopped and diced fresh veggies, prime cut meats, the finest ingredients. If you're a good cook and after you've volunteered a few times, they are happy to let you get in the kitchen and help whip up stuff. The resident chef there, Gina, is wonderfully creative in the kitchen (and very nice), and from time to time, other professional chefs from local restaurants come in to put together a meal. The WLP isn't jsut a food place, although that's the highlight of the day. It also provides the women with full time advocacy support to help with finding housing, food, or other services. There is a computer room/resource room that the ladies may use. There is also a nap room where women can go to get sometimes some much needed rest, and also a quiet room for just some peace, solitude, and maybe reading or reflecting. Women are also able to get various toiletries and clothing that they may need. They may do their laundry and take showers. The Program Manager, Heather (also very, very nice and competent) has done a great job of making sure that there are interesting activities for guests if they choose to participate: yoga, painting, field trips, knitting, etc. Since the WLP is run as a "community", the staff are INCREDIBLY patient with the women, and if a guest is being disorderly or breaking a rule, she is not immediately tossed out, but is counseled and given more than one opportunity to redeem herself by correcting her behavior. Throwing someone out is a last option at the WLP. WLP treats its volunteers as the valuable commodity we are. We are appreciated, thanked, and made to feel a part of the "team". Added Perk: They also have really incredible volunteer thank you events! I enjoy volunteering here. I learn something new and meet new people each time I go. I don't have a lot of spare time to volunteer, but when I do, the WLP gets me all the time, every time. It's important to know that this place could not be so great without us- the community at large supporting it through donations, volunteering, contributions, etc. The staff, Regina, Linda, Joanna, Lauren, Linnie, and Cheryl are terrific- go meet them! This is just a wonderful, wonderful place. You will not leave here without your heart being touched in some way.

Just to add to the great review by Adrienne -- The Women's…read moreLunch Place is an amazing community run by dedicated and caring people. I've volunteered there many times, and the experience was wonderful. The staff is as open, kind and welcoming to volunteers as they are to their ladies. The ladies? Wow. Having the opportunity to really get to know some of the women in this community is a real blessing. The WLP is one of my favorite volunteer opportunities. Try it out!
