    I have NEVER enjoyed working for a charitable organization so much as the night I helped out at…read moreNWCO last month. I LOVE the fact that every single person is a volunteer. I LOVE the fact that the location they collect, sort and package children's clothing in takes place in a building that has been donated to the organization - rent free. I LOVE that the only overhead costs they have are electricity and heat. I LOVE that they are not snobs about the donations and will even pass along gently worn socks and underwear. If a mother chooses not to clothe her children in these items, that is her prerogative, but it should be hers and hers alone. I think that when it comes down to it, most mothers would opt for their children to have then to go without. Besides, that is what bleach and washing machines are for. I LOVE that you get a card with a child's name and age to work from. It gives you a sense of relationship to the child you are compiling a care package of clothes, books and toys for. I especially LOVE that they pray over the children we are trying to help, their parent's and the volunteer group, before you start. I will be back this month....with bags of clothes, toys and games that my friends have helped me put together.

    I have no doubt this organization serves a very useful service in the community, however their…read morepublic relations could certainly use some improving. I live in Beaverton, but my daughter teaches in Vancouver, The school where she teaches is a very high poverty school. I choose to take a very large donation over to Vancouver, with the thought it may help some of the kids in her school. When I arrived, there was a man working by the front door, he never acknowledged me until I asked if this is where I should leave donations. I then proceeded to unload my car of four very large containers of clothes, and three bags. By then, there were three or four other employees standing about, no one offered to help take the containers into the store front. When I finally was done with the unloading, not one of the employees even looked my way, or had the courtesy to say, thank you. I wasn't looking for accolades for my "good deed", but a simple thank you would have been appreciated. I spent a lot of time and effort, sorting through all the clothes to be certain only items in very good condition were included, I folded them carefully and packed them. I will find another charity, that is perhaps more appreciative of peoples efforts, the up side is some boys are going to have some nice clothes to wear to school and for that I am thankful.

    I've volunteered, in one capacity or another, with Because People Matter for more than a decade,…read moremostly through their community outreach program, "Night Strike", which gathers under the Burnside Bridge every Thursday night, providing services, resources, community and relationship to the under-served in our struggling city. But Night Strike is only one head of the hydra that is BPM, an organization with so many fingers in so many pies, that even I, as a dozen year veteran volunteer, have trouble keeping track of them all. Beyond their outreach efforts under the bridge, another BPM program is, well..."Beyond the Bridge": an extension of Night Strike's efforts to transition those suffering from homelessness and addiction into housing and treatment programs, as well as networking and coordinating existing city resources to find the best recovery path for individuals with these issues. BPM also engages with underprivileged youth (and their families) via their BTown Kids programs, which operate on summer weekends at various parks scattered throughout the city, and focus on providing individualized attention, fostering relationships, playing games and activities, and addressing immediate needs such as hunger/nutrition in a fun, safe and positive environment. I've volunteered with other non-profits, outreach programs and support communities over the years, and inevitably, with all of them, the underlying sense that there is an agenda or ulterior motive at the heart of each, whether it be religious conversion, profiteering, or something else nefarious, was always present. Not so with Because People Matter. Regardless of your religious affiliation, disability, economic status, criminal history, addiction (current or past), or any other "stigmatizing" factor, Because People Matter has a place for you, as a participant, or a volunteer. Few organizations fall under the umbrella of being truly altruistic, but Because People Matter is one of them; and in a city that rains this much, we need many more umbrellas like this!

    I absolutely love Retails Thrift Store. The workers are all very kind and helpful. I appreciate…read morethe prices there too as I purchase items and donate them to Northwest Children's Outreach. Recently, management was so kind and donated to NWCO as well. What a blessing. I have family coming to visit and one thing they want to do is go to Retails! Thank you, Retails, for great management, clean store with good prices. I recommend this wonderful store and management. Thank you!

    I would try to visit this store on a weekday day. We went on a Satueday and it was so busy, chaotic…read moreand a bit overwhelming. No stsff maning the floor of the syore. They just had cashiers with an extrmely long line. It took about 15 mins waiting in line to check out. Certian sections are well orgnized and others are not. It looks a bit dingy and messy in parts of the store. They allow dogs so that is nice and their sales benefit the Humane society which is awesome! We brought our pup. I found a few great nicknacks and a great little bench seat with an embroidered top for $7.99. Needs to be refinished. Really good prices on many things. There were not enough people working and they were kind of unproffesional and unhelpful. They seemed extremely stressed. I wanted to see things in a locked in a case on the floor. I politely asked the clerk about it and she said it will be like a half hour and never looked up at us at all or when checking us out or said anything pleasant or nice. Something for them to work on. Some customers also seem clueless about just standing in the way of others from looking at things and chit chatting for 5 - 10 minutes. It is not a coffee shop people.

I love thrifting and estate sale shopping, so Community Warehouse was an excellent choice for me on this special day. I love Community Warehouse's mission! It's a nonprofit furniture bank that collects home goods and redistributes them to those in need. The warehouse space in the back accepts furniture donations, and houses a large collection of pieces for their program. There is also a retail space in the front of the building where visitors can peruse estate sale home goods like furniture and decor. There is a wide variety of products to choose from, and everything I saw was in excellent condition. The store is pleasantly curated, and prices are fair and well-marked. I purchased a nightstand, and found many other items that may draw me back to the store sooner than later. I'm pleased to add Community Warehouse to my regular rotation of home goods stores I frequent.

    It's ok. Definitely not a "thrift store". They get some really good things, but holy cow, their…read moreonline prices are astronomical. Prices in the store tend to be slightly more reasonable, but they are creeping up as well. I understand that they use the funds for community services, which I love, but unfortunately, my friends and I can no longer afford to spend money there. Sadly, I think my days of shopping here are over. Bums me out because I loved being able to find good, affordable items while contributing to a great cause. Now it's just no longer affordable. The volunteers I've encountered are really lovely people, and they do good things for the community. I will definitely miss it.
