Let's say that that the truth for them then perhaps expand your business to an area where you don't have so many elitist. Where young families are starting out and can get comfortable, quality and yes a little worn furniture at a resonable price. This just isn't a one off with me look at some of the other responses. Never again will I donate anything to such and ungrateful organization. Last thing, let say that they have to use such discretion because they would have more furniture than they could store. Well anything that's been there more than 3 month have a free day where needy families in the community could go to and get help. In other word be creative and not so selective.

But after recently learning of this non-profit organization called Sharing Connections, those lazy days are over. A fantastic organization that does so much good in the community. Sharing Connections provides furniture and household items for low-income families, helping them make their houses or apartments feel like homes. Most of these families are coping with a major crisis such as domestic violence, homelessness, job loss, or a financial crisis. This is an opportunity for community members to show gratitude for their own blessings by helping someone who could use a little extra help. Because they respect the dignity of the families they serve, they want to give them furniture they'd be proud to have in their homes. This means that they only accept items that have been gently used. Items that are not soiled or broken. I recently assembled dressers that were provided by financial donations to Sharing Connections. A great way for anyone to spend their time. There are lots of ways to help. --your money, your unused belongings, or even just your time.

This is an incredible nonprofit! So let me tell you how this works. Firstly anybody can shop here…read more You have to go to the front desk and just sign up it's $5 but it lasted the whole year and that's really about it you just have to take a photo and you can even add a guest that lives in your residence if they want to shop there as well at no additional charge. The prices there are immensely incredible they are basically going back to the year 2000 to say the least. For those that are health conscious they do have vegan items too believe it or not. Be cautious of the items that are steeply discounted because those items are expired or close to expiring. I spent about an hour here just checking out everything that this place had to offer and I got about $60 worth of groceries that I would pay at a normal store for $20 here! For future reference if anyone wants a shop here you have to bring your own bag. There are carts here thankfully besides groceries they do have household items like cleaners , oral care products , candles and a lot of other practical goods. There's even a little close section as well. The more money you spend you get to have more items for free at the checkout. There's bread after checking out which is free for anyone.

I have been going to the Joliet restore for quite a few years now. I usually have a pretty good…read moreexperience but the last few times I left feeling very irritated with the manager. I have also noticed that things have gotten pretty pricey in the last year. There is a man that works there, I think he may be the manager, that is very rude. I have negotiated on prices in the past when buying furniture pieces and he acted like I was asking him to buy it for me. I understand the goal is to make as much money as possible to not only sustain the store but the charity as well, but that doesn't mean that you treat people so bad that they choose not to come back. I would have only given one star but the other people that work there are very nice and the store is a great resource for people and I would hate to know that one person's bad attitude would cause people not to shop there.

Second Baptist Church Youth Ministry in Action: Partnering with Olive Branch Mission Second Baptist…read moreChurch of Harvey, Illinois, under the leadership of Pastor Darnell Bowles Sr., has a long standing commitment to serving the community. Our Youth Ministry has been especially active in outreach, taking every opportunity to put faith into action. Last year, 15 youth members, supported by adult volunteers, partnered with Olive Branch Mission to serve Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Together, we provided meals for nearly 100 residents, offering not just food, but encouragement and fellowship during the holiday season. This effort was an extension of our ongoing support for local shelters and programs that assist battered women, children, and families in need. We are excited to celebrate Olive Branch Mission's recent announcement of major infrastructure upgrades made possible through a city grant. As part of the Department of Family and Support Services' $40 million Shelter Infrastructure Initiative, Olive Branch Mission will create 32 non congregate rooms with private bathrooms for families, along with eight semi-private rooms. These improvements will bring greater privacy, dignity, and security to families experiencing homelessness. Led by Executive Director Katrina Coleman and supported by dedicated leaders like our own member, Geneice Randolph, Food Service Director Olive Branch Mission continues its 158-year legacy of providing hope and a safe haven to Chicago's most vulnerable populations. Second Baptist Church is honored to partner with such a vital organization and looks forward to continuing our youth-driven service in support of their mission. Together, we can build stronger families, stronger communities, and brighter futures Sincerely, Chris Cowns Youth Ministry Darnell Bowles, Sr. Pastor Second Baptist Church Harvey, Illinois
