    They saved my ass…read more I became stranded in Fort Wayne due to unforeseen financial circumstances and stayed here for about two weeks. The staff is generally friendly and helpful except for Mark who seems to be a minimalist when it comes to service. It's clean and fresh bedclothes are offered every night. They serve fairly decent meals at lunch and supper but breakfast consists only of a breakfast bar and coffee. I don't eat wheat so I skipped it every day. My sole complaint is that we had to leave every day, despite the fact that they have many lockers. Since I was stranded here, that means I had to lug a rolling suitcase, heavy backpack, and heavy gym bag all over town whenever I got out. Not fun at all. IMPORTANT ADDENDUM: After a three-night hiatus from the mission, I returned there last night (Labor Day, 20202} and had a rude awakening. Check-in time ends at 10:00 pm and I got there about 9:30. Since residents cannot leave once they enter the premises for the night, I sat just outside the door, catching up on internetwork. At about 9:50, I lit up my last cigarette. Five minutes later a guard named Charles poked his head outside and announced that the facility would be closing at 10 so I finished up the cig and tried to get in. But the door was locked! I knocked and knocked but Charles refused to open it until 10:59, at which point I showed him the current time on my phone. He then proceeded to lecture me (very condescendingly) about how it was past 10 and he couldn't let me stay. On and on he rambled, finally permitting to come in "only because I'm doing you a favor." Apparently he was going by the time on his wristwatch, not the internet time on his computer. When I explained to him how accurate the latter is, he told me I was "disrespecting" him. Really? Pointing this out is NOT disrespectful. His attitude was, though. I wonder if his mama taught him how to be so rude and arrogant. This dude needs some re-education and I suggest that the administration send him to Disney's Magical Customer Experience. "Disney resorts is focused on customers. On their first day of training, new employees learn that their primary goal, no matter their position, is to create happiness. Employees receive regular training so they have the tools to best serve customers and are given the creativity to solve problems in the most magical ways possible." Being homeless and begging for a place to stay is humiliating enough and I told him so. From his reaction, apparently this made him mad. So I did not say another word, which I find is the best approach to people who abuse their authority.

    Is there a place to go, when a man has nowhere else left to go?…read moreThe French foreign legion? The Fort Wayne Rescue Mission. Myself I would chose the later. A person, who drops in can expect to be able receive two free meals a day (Lunch, and dinner). They also might have an option to stay for free, (three days)! And receive free (three meals) a day, with room and board! Along with a lot of other free things! Just take a look at this video, for an explanation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RzYsYZ2DwFE America is becoming a very cold place. According to USA Today, more than 50 American cities have now passed "anti-camping or anti-food-sharing laws".... Somehow our city government has not been able to address this issue yet. What I notice is how citizens are still working with homeless people. By providing the three basics of the mission: (food, shelter, clothing). Along with free counseling on the different services the city offers. It can sort of connect people with programs that they did not know about! The politicians aren't really interested - they figure that they can buy your vote with all of the money that they are getting from the wealthy people. If you don't have money, you don't really matter much in our society. The ads on television aren't for you - they are directed at people that actually have good jobs and that can afford to buy the nice little "extras" in life. This is why the city of Fort Wayne really doesn't have much to do with this place. Before, During, After. I I I \O/ _O_ O | ( ) /(( ))\ / \ / \ (()) The "Mission Impossible" team at work. Yelp: I did donate to the missions' store. In order to meet your "user review" rules.

    What a great first-time experience. They are not kidding when they advertise "thrift store prices."…read moreThe clothes I bought were between $6 and $.75 which I was thrilled about because I strongly dislike going to a second hand store and spending something similar to what I would expect to spend at a Marshall's or TJ Maxx. The two female associates were friendly and professional and allowed me to browse and try on outfits without being over-involved. The products were well-organized and divided by gender, color, and size. I felt like I was able to see everything in my size that I was interested in without searching or feeling overwhelmed. Speaking of size... I noted they have an excellent variety of sizing from xs to 3x. That is great news for people who can't even expect to see their size carried in some stores today! I left the store purchasing two outfits, a blazer and a winter vest (all name brands or 'vintage' and on trend) for less than $40. I have officially become a loyal customer and I look forward to trying their other location soon.

    Knowing that I love thrift shopping, my husband suggested that I stop into Blue Jacket Clothing. I…read morewas so impressed by the attractive layout, the quantity and quality of the Mens' Area, and the affordable prices. The staff was helpful but not overwhelming, and the little touches that are used in this store allow for an enjoyable experience. And there is a rewards program! But when I was told about their mission to give people second chances at employment, I realized that is the real reward in shopping here.

    First I would like to thank Goodwill and all the employees for the good things they do for the…read morecommunity and the United States as a whole. We recently purchased items at this location via shopgoodwill.com For Christmas gifts and they shipped it via FedEx FedEx who caused damage to the box and items as well as lots of items were missing from the purchase. I addressed this issue with the shop Goodwill store and Customer Service. Customer Service reached out to me and I provided pictures of the damage to the box and of the loss and they refunded me in a timely manner. We will continue to donate to our local Goodwill's and purchase at their stores. Thank you very much for addressing this issue in a timely manner I appreciate it. We Prefer Goodwill because we like what they represent as a whole. Stay Safe Be Well.

    I've shopped at Goodwill in 5 different states and I've never experienced a store that has…read moredifferent prices for shoes. ALL shoe's have always been the same price about 6 bucks, not at the W. Jefferson, Ft. Wayne location, most of their shoes are higher priced anywhere from $14.95 up to $30.00 and they weren't the ones in the show case. THIS MERCHANDISE IS DONATED, why do you PRICE GOUGE people in need of shoes? Shame on you for these ridiculous prices you're charging for a basic necessity. Guess when your CEO profits $2.3 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, he'll take it at the expense of those in need. SHAME ON YOU GOODWILL You can't blame THIS ONE on Covid.
