I visited for a volunteer…read moreevent with coworkers (hint hint, great team building thing!) and was very impressed with the staff and their commitment to the long term animal residents. They have the personalities of each animal resident down pat! We had a great time providing care for the animals and their habitats, feeding treats, and getting my finger gripped by a cute little opossum. If you ever find an injured wild animal, call them! If it's after hours, it's ok to drop them off in one of the special cages outside the front gate!

Once upon a time thrift stores were a great way to secure a find and with your place particularly…read moresupport the community, however your store has become undesirable as your staff (whom i assume are volunteers) are a bit uninterested and bitchy. They don't even attempt to hide it from the customers. In addition to that who ever does the pricing seems to think that they are marketing to Bergdorfs or Neimun Marcus (aka needless mar ups). As a customer who shops there as well as donates regularly, i find it offensive that you think people want to buy used shoes or clothes at prices higher than Marshalls or the like. After all whether slightly worn or used they still have had someones pissibly nasty ass or feet in them. If affordable enough wirth the buy as all things can be cleaned. Lets not get confused, if i am going to have to clean etc its cheaper and easier to go to any if the stires mentioned above pay less and not have to deal with the absurd rational behind pricing and bitchy attitudes. 1. If volynteers dont want to be there for exactly what it is, community service, they should stay home. No one wants ir needs them. 2. If yoyr going to continue with your gouging wirh reference to pricing, I'm glad to make my donations and shop at out of closet or anyone if the multiple other thrift stores. Remember you get the shit for free and donations are made out if the goidness if peoples hearts in attempt to give back and help those in need. Your organaztion is not doing the goid people of the community any favors with your policies. Are you trying to become a specialty shop? When average people can not or will not shop there for reasons stated above you've lost sight of what your philosophy once was. GET IT TOGETHER, get real. SHAME ON YOU.

Yelp already has entries for The Poverello Center and the Poverello Food Pantry both located at…read more2506 N. Dixie, but as I noted none for the Poverello Live Well Center I thought some entry should be made. Located at 220 NE 12th Avenue, the Poverello Live Well Center is a part of the not-for-profit Poverello umbrella, but just as its location is different, so is its charitable focus. Poverello was originally founded in 1988 when large numbers having complications of AIDS were socially shunned, rejected and dying. The original intent was to provide food as a nourishing medicine. The pantry on Dixie continues to provide such for to over 3,000 families a year and the thrift shop also located there continues to take in donations of used articles for resale in order to support Poverello operations. The Poverello Live Well Center on 12th Avenue is somewhat different in that its design is as a support center for persons living with HIV, providing a safe accepting to receive support and health services. It is here that those with HIV can, in their words, "...access our full service gym, chiropractic services, acupuncture or massage free of charge." As such it provides a vital community service. One day, as a volunteer driver/transporter, I had the occasion to visit the Live Well Center. When I stepped in I was given one of the warmest of greetings and though I wasn't supposed to actually be allowed, as not being a member, to tour their facilities I did sneak my way around. (Shhh! Don't tell.) But what I saw was a complete with all the trimmings gym with some people giving workout assistance and help to others, a pool table play area and a most comfortable relaxing lounge. But what is really so very special about the Living Well Center are the super nice people from all sorts of differing backgrounds not only there to improve themselves but working together to improve the lives of others. For what they do and for the free of charge services they provide to some of our most needy, Poverello's Live Well Center gets my 5 Stars.

They make it super difficult to adopt a cat and a lot of them have been here for years; there is one literally has been there for 11 years and make the process impossible. I hate that they are in charge of giving homes to these animals when all they do is reject everyone and anyone. 100% this place needs to go under inspection. This is animal neglect.

The importance of some local clubs is demonstrated by their women's club buildings being listed on historic registries.

They became a way for women to get out of the house and assert their independence. They allowed women to get involved in politics and launched the women's rights movement. In 1924 the Davie Woman's Club joined the Florida Federation if Women's Clubs which is part of the prestigious national organization of women's clubs called the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Some of the early projects the Davie Women's Club took on included getting street signs put up, buying palm tees to beautiful school grounds, and raising the money to hire a nurse. In 1927 the club purchased a former hotel for $500 and used it to create the towns first library. The financially smart women sold the building in 1946 for $4,000 and used the money they made to purchase their current clubhouse. Through the years they club has done hundreds of projects in the town of Davie. Today they offer Davie graduating seniors a scholarship and help with waterway cleanup. Through the years they have had to adjust their meeting time from day to evening in the 80's as more women began to work outside the home. The Davie Woman's Club was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 16, 2016. On the day I visited the Davie Women's Club was hosting their first haunted house fundraiser. Women's clubs have a legacy of helping their communities and it's nice to see when they are still going strong today.
