Every event, camp, and employee training are made to be fun and educational. I have learned so much working for this organization. However, the old building located next to the do wop shop has only street parking and very congested small back parking area, which on more than one occasion has almost caused an accident. The new building built down the street however is much bigger, and provides a little more parking space. Love what this organization stands for and all the great work it does for the special needs community.

This review is strictly for the thrift shop, not the larger organization. The nonprofit itself…read moreraises money in a variety of way, including this thrift shop and gaming centers. From the outside the shop had several outfits in the windows and lit up by lights. Nice outfits too as people are thinking of spring events. Inside was not as impressive. Like other shops you'll find clothing, shoes and accessories. I looked through a few racks and most had various price tags. Along the walls we found books, kitchen accessories and home decor. I was hoping to see more home decor and small items but they were a bit slim. Pricing also didn't have me making spur of the moment splurges. Service was friendly and we checked out quickly. They keep several branded items and clothing along the walls for purchase. If you want to promote Shirley's Way, the items are quality brands. We'd stop by again when in the area. One never knows what might be found.

This beautiful sacred piece of land, about 245 acres, is home to the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Standing on the campus one can imagine what it must have looked like in the early 1800s when Mother Catherine Spalding, the Congregation's foundress, arrived on a horse drawn wagon. From the very beginning Nazareth was a place of welcome.

The Catholic church that is on the property has a daily mass as well as a Sunday morning mass. It is such a holy and peaceful atmosphere. Just a day visit to attend mass and walk around the property can change your attitude to one of gratitude. It is a 10 minute drive or less into dowtown Bardstown where there is shopping and plenty of eateries. There is also a historical museum on the property.

Each week, this gaggle of geriatric greatness gets together to drink coffee and have a great time. I spoke with this group recently in order to provide them information about how to avoid adverse drug events (since their maintenance med list can extend greater than 10 meds on average) and they were grateful to say the least. I was really impressed with the activities coordinators as well while I was there. The center includes a pool table, a workout facility and a kitchen. They provide the "club members" as they like to call themselves with free lunch on the days that they attend. It's a wonderful community feature. Your entry fee? No fangled-fees here! The only requirement is being greater than age 60. Guess I'll have to keep presenting to them to get to hang out.

It is great if you happen to find what you set out to buy! I dropped in when it was a rainy day to get out of the house. They have holiday decorations, tools, hardware trim sinks and door knobs and kitchen appliances. Many of the items were priced to go, some things had no price at all?( free ) I doubt it. This is a great way to help recycle your unwanted stuff and help a good cause at the same time. Some of the furniture and pianos are real antiques. Make sure to visit often as things come and go all the time.

ReStore is a donation-driven resale store benefiting Habitat for Humanity in Hardin County…read more Located in what you may remember as the old location of Roy's Furniture, they've kinda got a lot of space, overall, for everything done at this location. A quick stop just off of the Dixie. Their setup is a little different, in that they have (generally reasonable, for resale) priced items *and* a small (labeled) section of items that they've identified as particularly cool / interesting / potentially valuable that are considered "silent auction" items that customers bid on. It's not to say that the eventual sale prices on these items are not reasonable, but it does add to the "fun." This area is kinda sectioned off in the main room and items are tagged by number, rather than price, which corresponds to the adjacent binder. And the "cool" stuff, is, well, kinda cool. For example, my latest visit showed what looked like a very cool, pretty fabulous condition retro Schwinn. Other antique items, a little glassware, some mid-century modern furniture, a small amount of homegoods-type stuff, a limited and pretty random assortment of appliances, paint, and some other home improvement / maintenance items (particularly light fixtures and a few fans) were available in the "priced for sale" (not auction) area. Like any donation-driven shop, what you find on any given visit varies. They have average to better than average turnover for similar stores in this area. They accept delivered donations when open and also do free scheduled donation pickups. They do not accept clothing (but apparently do take shoes??) - their criteria are a little different from other similar donation-based shops, so I'd recommend reviewing their website or giving them a call if you're unsure whether they'll take whatever you're wanting to be free of.
