There are volunteering opportunities and other ways that you can get involved and give back. The staff here are super friendly and welcoming, and the organization runs like a well-oiled machine - super efficient and on point! Thank you, Martha's Table, for existing! +volunteering opportunities available! +friendly staff

[Part of Giving Tuesday 2019]…read more I can only write from the perspective of a volunteer/donor, but Martha's Table seems to have a strong mission towards helping children and families in the DC area. Our class wanted to organize a clothing/food drive, and Martha's Table seemed to have the most bang for your buck. You can always donate in liquid like every other organization, but not as feasible for someone on the student lifestyle. There's plenty of drop-off locations for clothing and baby items across the city. If you can give food items like canned and dried goods, you gotta go to their Maycroft location on Columbia Rd NW. Easy to just reserve a 15-minute appointment on their website and drop off our load. I see their trucks all around the city serving the community - here's to hoping everyone's littles go a long way.

I've been to a similar shop like this back home in Los Angeles (Remainders in Pasadena for those…read moreinterested) and now that I live in Baltimore and remain a frequent crafter (sewist, knitter, and general hobbyist), I was delighted to find out this shop existed. I've been on the hunt for some cheap supplies, specifically a pinback button machine as this is around $50-60 new online and since I'm using funds from the school club I'm in to buy it; this felt excessive. Unfortunately they didn't have this machine and apparently only have ones in stock like this once in a while as they tend to go fast. Not deterred, I kept exploring the rest of the shop. Price wise, this place is THE best craft store you can and should stop into before going elsewhere to see if they have supplies you could use. You name it; they have it or have had it in the past. Supply varies as they depend on donations but with some supplies I bought costing just a quarter, I truly cannot be mad. They had yarn, paper supplies, knitting supplies, beadwork items, sewing supplies including patterns and zippers and sewing feet, stationary and scrapbook/journaling supplies. I absolutely recommend any crafters on a budget to come out here.

I have used Donation Nation a few times and each pick-up is just as good as the last one. The staff…read moreis always friendly, courteous and professional. They take everything, except gasoline. I highly recommend using this company because they treat your donation items carefully. If you especially have items you can't use any longer but could use a new home this is the company to use. They also take junk as well and will dispose of it properly. Just like their website says " they recycle and reuse". Believe or not they are cheaper then the other junk removal companies and you get a tax deduction.

I had asked them for 12 sheets of luan and they needed to be in good shape because I was using them on an exposed ceiling. The manager came over and I told him I needed them undamaged and he look at me with a very disrespectful stare and said that I was funny.... He was very ignorant and wasn't happy the staff were helping me. I checked over the luan that they pulled for me and a few were damaged and I didn't want to waste time having them put them back and get other ones so I told him I didn't want them and he can put them back. I just went to Home Depot and got the same thing in pristine condition for $0.50 more per sheet. They are overpriced there and management is horrible so goto another location or the Loading Dock in Baltimore. I buy stuff there and management is helpful and not ignorant.... He should be fired and never work in customer service or management of any type.... I hope he reads this. I am sure all of the staff know who I am talking about and they share my comment. He was probably in his 50s and had some crazy red or reddish blonde hair.... He had this crazy look on his face like he was always mad.... Steer clear...

I was shocked at how huge the store was. Some of the items were pretty pricey, but most of what I saw was in great condition. Lots of light fixtures , couches , some refrigerators, and even a HUMONGOUS bed. I ended up leaving with a TV for $45. Can't beat that. Before checking out the volunteers plugged it in and made sure it worked before selling it to me. I definitely appreciated that. The volunteer even insisted she carry the TV out to the car for me. Very unexpected!

Once the woman working the register was sent over by another employee (who had apologized for the wait) she didn't say hi, barely vocalized the total owed, and slammed my card back on the counter like it was a bother to have to ring me up. Their selections are reasonable, not as good as the goodwill on bel air road in perry hall, but the attitude is not worth dealing with here!

I'll give it 4 stars. This Goodwill is across the street from a Salvation Army store which, by…read morecomparison, is pretty weak. The Goodwill, however, isn't bad at all. It's a bit more organized than its competitor, and the inventory seems to be a bit better. Furthermore, I feel like I've made better finds in regards to vintage housewares and vinyl records (I walked in and someone had just dropped off en enormous collection of electronica and house, a lot of which was new and/or sealed). It doesn't have as much furniture, but I'm okay with that - most donation stores have awful, battered furniture. This store certainly specializes in clothes and housewares, and definitely feels a bit cleaner than Salvation Army.

You could say this opinion is subjective, but I doubt many would disagree. We will not stop donating and shopping, and will give SVDP five stars despite the actions of one volunteer. If you're having a bad day, stay home.
