I cannot say enough good things about COVO and the team, the work they do and the impact that they…read morehave on the community at large. In my time with the Red Cross I was blessed to get to know COVO a bit and had a deep appreciation for the care they put into the community and our veterans. Serving those who have served is something that I feel is of the utmost importance and something everyone should take part in. COVO offers outreach where they help supply food and clothing to veterans in need as well as housing services to provide shelter where they can. You can donate both food and clothing to COVO as well as fiscal donations, I encourage you to do one or the other. Your resources will not be wasted here as they are as fiscally responsible an outfit as I have seen. You can also volunteer and I encourage you to do so. Give back to the ones who gave, our veterans deserve that.

COVO is doing timely, needful work, and their donation protocol couldn't be easier. If you have…read morestuff to donate, simply drop it off at their back door.

But I pray to…read morethe lord you never have to encounter "Nancy" who is an old mean nasty woman who works at this location. She was beyond horrible!!!! She was overseeing the dressing room and my lord I pray I never have to see this person again. She was inappropriate and so beyond rude to me and my daughter. I talked to the manager and they weren't surprised.."I'm so sorry, I honestly hear this all the time..she really should retire", I pray for this poor managers sake and all of the people of Bend, Oregon that this woman leaves. I definitely won't be going back.

There were a couple of nice pairs of Toms and Sperry boots for $19.99 or less, but none in my size. Had our SUV rental not been fully packed I would've taken home the vintage outdoor patio teacart for $13, a steal really, with matching chairs at $9 each. I found the shelves to be more baren than most other 'Superstores'. Unfortunate, and it makes me wonder if GW is redistributing the good stuff to boutique stores to increase their profit margin vs making quality resale available to those in need.

Anyone YELPING a shelter with less than a perfect score is making me angry…read more That being said. The Bethlehem Inn is a godsend for Bend Oregon. With safe and clean housing, and also accountability for sober living, I have witnessed people get safety. Food. Shelter. And jobs. There is someone in your life that is one paycheck away from homelessness. And they don't want to impose on you. Do you have excess warm clothing? Canned food? Sleeping bags? Or, clothes to wear to a job interview? And have you ever had to ask for it? I have worked with shelters in Louisiana, Florida, Portland, Baker City, and Bend. Socks to sleeping bags. It is humbling. This particular transitional housing and food and clothing shelter is so overwhelmingly kind. The Bethlehem Inn is everything we want in order to give a hand up; not a hand out.

The second time I rang the bell as it says to do for an attendant. A man came out of the office yelling, "Who rang the bell!".

Stunned I said to my husband How should computer issues affect excepting donations? He told me to get in the vehicle that we were done with Habitat.
