They even offered to bring a few rugs to the house so we could see them in the space. We ended up buying two rugs and they are beautiful.

If you're looking for an heirloom quality rug, Rugport has you covered.

All very rude about it too. Telling us the items are worth more. Very odd behavior and not kind at all.

Great resale store nestled in Hudsonville, Mi. The resale store is really big and everything was…read morewell organized, clearly priced, and all of the staff was pretty friendly. They had a lot of housewares and furniture. The book section was large and organized, with a pretty big selection of children's books. They also have clothing located in the store, and it looked to be well organized (though I didn't look too closely). In the back of the parking lot is another warehouse with deep discount items - you can get some good finds in there. It was a great place to shop! The only drawback is that sometimes the volunteers at the cash register are a bit slow. It's only a problem if you go towards the end of the day, sometimes you can encounter 4-5 people in line in front of you. Extra bonus is that this place is for a good cause.

I was so pleasantly surprised at this beautiful establishment, which houses the Treetops Collective nonprofit that supports refugee and immigrant women and children with various programs like women's empowerment groups, driver's training, mental health circles, and more. There is also a cafe that serves some pastries, coffee, and tea, as well as a very cute gift shop that has items made by refugees in America. The space also acts as a rentable venue, with various spaces available like office space, conference rooms, or the main event venue with a community kitchen and kids' playroom. You can even rent out the whole beautiful cafe. I brought in my dress and they fixed it up right away - it only took about 10 minutes and was $15. They employ refugee women and the work was very professional and polished. While I waited, I browsed the shop that has many lovely items like shirts with empowered messages, handmade cards, jewelry, accessories, and more. Then I ordered an iced matcha at the cafe - it was so smooth and the perfect level of slightly sweet. Their hours are quite limited (Tuesday-Thursday, 9 am-3 pm), but it's definitely worth checking out. I am going to be looking into other opportunities at Treetops Collective, like volunteering and their community events.

Mel Trotter Ministries: A Resident's Reality This place…read morewakes you up around 6:50 AM, then forces you to stay until 9:00 AM if you want to access your belongings from storage and get back in. You can leave as soon as you get up, but then you won't have the stuff that you need. Their heat only seems to be at the proper temperature on certain floors; the main lobby, where we are forced to be if we aren't leaving, is not one of those areas. They give you a small blanket and sheet and expect you to be warm enough. Their food quality and quantity are not enough--restrictive meal times, no lunch, and small portions. Wifi is available, but you're not allowed to use it. The TV is on only for a limited time and only plays the news. There is no real sign of the advertised "enrichment" programs. Instead, the programs that do exist favor select people, creating a tiered or hierarchical system. The south side is for employed residents and comes with more privileges, while the north side is "in the trenches," where residents are exposed to unpredictable and sometimes chaotic situations, including illness and bodily harm. The Night-Shift Problem perfectly illustrates this divide. For a resident working a shift like 10 PM - 7 AM, the standard 7 PM curfew can be waived with "documentation of reason." Once approved, a flag is put in the system to allow re-entry. However, the shelter typically forces these residents to stay on specific "program floors" so they won't be disturbed by the general population's 6:30 AM wake-up call. If you aren't in that specific program or don't have that flag, you're not getting back in. If you want a place to stay, you need to arrive around 9:00 AM. Regulars wake up first and reserve their beds for the day, and then everyone else reserves theirs. Rooms are shared (usually 2 per bunk bed) with a shared bathroom that can be locked from the outside. The shelter's operations are often inefficient. For example, severely intoxicated guests are technically not allowed under the MTM Code of Conduct, yet I've seen them admitted anyway, only to have to be picked up by an ambulance later. This slows down service for everyone else and creates unnecessary risk. Despite the decent rooms, free laundry, and security, the system is designed in a way that makes survival harder than it needs to be.
