Good prices, small selection, unbeatable furniture deals…read more Paint price was super reasonable but the selection is quite small. Eggshell paint was hard to find. Tables and furniture prices were super reasonable and fair. Some tables were only $10. Tags in yellow, green, and orange were further discounted. Inspect what you buy carefully. Some things are used and in fair to poor but working condition. Floor tiles, vinyl, and laminate were all fairly priced as well, I believe $1/sf. Lighting is also priced fairly and there was a sign that all lighting were inspected and guaranteed to work. Rugs were on sale as were carpet tiles. Signs were posted all over the store making it very easy to budget.

This location is the only one I have been to this year, but it is absolutely a farse that has fallen well off its established horse, if you will. If asking $75 for a God-forsaken used lawn chair (the same ones I see given away on marketplace every week in sets for free) is a favor to the poor- well- looks like there just isn't much hope left for humanity....

The largest regional food bank in Sacramento. This organization has been serving the community…read moresince 1976 and will soon celebrate its 50th anniversary: check out my photos for the QR code and anniversary details! I came here to volunteer, and to my surprise, there were even younger kids participating. I learned that the minimum volunteer age is 10 years old. Some students were volunteering for school service hours, while others came through different companies and organizations. We joined the second shift from 1pm-4pm. The session started shortly after 1pm with a briefing and task assignments from the group leader. All tasks were explained clearly. The leaders checked on us throughout the shift to make sure we were doing okay and to see if anyone had concerns. Halfway through the shift, we had a 15-minute break, and one of the leaders brought ice cream to celebrate a volunteer's birthday and shared it with everyone. I thought it was a meaningful way to celebrate a birthday while helping a good cause. We actually finished around 3:30pm, and our shift completed: - 5,451 lbs of food packed - 474 boxes prepared for the "No Student Goes Hungry" program supporting students from elementary school through college in Sacramento County. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, and the facility was clean and organized. Restroom: clean, bright, and decent. If you are interested in volunteering, check out their website and register in advance.

Although not fun, there is one huge benefit to moving...being able to sort through a bunch of…read moremisplaced and forgotten stuff. Within all of this stuff, was a bunch of new and lightly used clothing. In the past I have donated clothing to my local Goodwill Express. However, I did some reflection and realized that all of the clothing that I donated was being sold for profit. Going forward, my intention was to donate to an organization that receives the donation(s) and distributes them to underprivileged individuals/families free of charge. Some research led me to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. Upon calling to verify their hours (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 10am-1pm and Wednesday, 4pm-7pm), I gathered all of the clothing and hit the road on a mission to make a difference. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a Sacramento Food Bank employee who eagerly began to load my clothing donations onto a cart. Since a lot of the clothing consisted of dress pants and dress slacks, he proceeded to inform me about a program called "Job Smart Clothing." Job Smart Clothing is a program within Sacramento Food Bank that provides career appropriate apparel for underprivileged individuals interviewing for employment or currently employed. How cool is that? I'm not a representative for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. However, I will say that they provide an awesome service to the community, and that a little donation goes a long way (individuals who benefit from their services often leave with 15-20 pieces of clothing per visit). Before you throw away that piece of clothing that you think is out of style or doesn't quite hug your curves the way that they used to, think about donating it to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services!

I enjoy receiving things, but giving is way more rewarding in my opinion. The kids that smile and say thank you, the warmth and the love... it's a WHOLE VIBE! If you've never had the chance to do this before, I would HIGHLY encourage you to come out and do it! The families get to eat for free (you can't beat that), and they give enough food for everyone to get their fill. All of the employees and volunteers work very hard so that the people who show up know they are appreciated no matter where they are in life. Gotta sign up well in advance if you want to serve! Anyways... I love it and will be back once again next year!
