My son purchased a bike that came partially assembled. We were ok with that until we learned that…read moreseveral parts of the assembly had been either misaligned or improperly positioned. I tried for hours to correct these and was ready to go back to the store until my wife suggested taking it here. I had never heard of Third Hand Bike but trusted her and the reviews and decided to bring it here. From what I understand, they are a non-profit organization comprised of volunteers. They don't necessarily do all of the work, they help you correct the issues and understand the how's and why's. They did indeed step in and do a great deal of the work, which I truly appreciated, just as I did the nostalgic conversations about bike designs over the decades. I highly recommend this group to anyone needing bike repair and if you're looking to purchase a used one, they have several in stock.

All People's Fresh Market is amazing. It truly lives up to its name, it is for ALL people. They…read moredo not turn anyone away. The first time you go you have to provide your drivers license. They basically set you up in their system, takes less than 5 minutes. They ask absolutely no questions and after checking you in the first time they provide you with a key tag that you simply show each time you go in the future. They have both a drive thru, and a walk up option to pick up fresh food. If you choose to do the walk up, they do have parking spots available. Everyone that is working / volunteering is kind and judgement free. What I have found is that many that are in need of food in Columbus do not have the proper transportation. I have stopped by All People's Fresh Market and picked up a box of food to drop off to those in need. The joy those families have when I arrive with a big box of food is totally worth it. If you are in need of fresh food, or you know someone that is, please pass this info on. All People's Fresh Market is a savior.

The VoA on Indianola or on Henderson provide a much more pleasant shopping experience.

Jim is a true gem, he challenges the kiddos to be active participants in their learning. The most impressive part is that he treats each kiddo with the same respect he would treat an adult. Too often kiddos don't get this same level of respect and when you are able to find a human who truly appreciates and is interested in interacting with kiddos you have to celebrate them! Thank you for being a great teacher and learner Jim!

I adopted Riley in September, 2020. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is, I do…read morebelieve that from the time of application submission to hearing from someone, should be shorter. That being said, it's clearly stated on the application that it may take 10 days to hear from a volunteer and that's exactly how long it took for me. Once I did hear back I was then put in touch with the foster mom, who was absolutely wonderful! We communicated on a regular basis. We met at a park, we then scheduled a home visit, and we then adopted the most AMAZING boy! All of that happened over the course of a few weeks, but that's not out of the ordinary at all. I was also told by the foster mom, right up front, there was another family interested in him and going through the process as well. So if they would have won out, that's just life, regardless of how far I was in the process. Most of these dogs come from really bad circumstances, so an exhaustive process to find the perfect home SHOULD be done and they SHOULD be picky. I couldn't be happier!

There was a question about his Simparica Trio so they reached out to me for clarification. Then one of their volunteers came to my house to make sure it passed the dog friendly test. We had a visit with the dog we ended up adopting. It was all very thorough and I couldn't be more pleased with the whole process. They know their foster dog went to a loving home and I felt good knowing they wouldn't adopt out if it wasn't the right fit. This rescue is all volunteers who just want to find good homes for unhoused dogs.
