This Salvation Army was actually pretty great just because it was a huge comprehensive store that…read morehad so much to offer. They even had a whole selection for a Valentine's Day which I thought was interesting since I don't feel like a lot of people go to a thrift store for a Valentine's day. I did love that it was next to a grocery store since that was on my agenda to visit. Staff here was friendly as well and I did enjoy what to store offered and it was all the great price but I was deeply offended and hurt seeing that a pair of jeans was being sold for $20! Sure they were nice but I don't count to a thrift store paying department store prices. Great selection of knick knacks and cool items for your house that are unexpected finds. Great variety of board games too.

So I was excited to hit up a different thrift store than what I was normally used to . When I say sticker shock I literally mean sticker shock . The prices were Beyond ridiculous . A cheap Walmart button up shirt was priced at $16 , a pair of faded blue jeans $19, and the No Name high school t-shirt was $12 . A sign at the front door said that blue tags were 50% off , there was not a blue tag to be found anywhere I looked . We all know they get every bit of their inventory for free and for them to try to rip our faces off price wise is insane ! I will not be coming back and will tell all of my followers and friends to avoid this place like the plague!

Located in a relatively safe section of town, Frugal's Family Thrift store is available to service…read moreall of your second-hand market needs. I found the parking lot to be depressing as if I was in the middle of no-where with civilization being hundreds of miles away. I'm just adding this point as it was the way I felt. That said, the staff friendly and most of the patrons were very nice. Please note Thrift stores are very hit or miss so going from week to week can result in a highly different experience. I'll be the first to admit, all thrift stores have a funky smell to them and I found Frugal's to be especially smelly; nothing to the point of unbearable but it lingers for the duration of the visit. Now in terms of being what do they offer, well pretty much everything and anything. Furniture, clothing, toys, books, CDs/DVDs, cookware, you name it. I found the kitchen section in terms of pots, pans, mixers and things of that nature to be very sparse while their main attraction was clothing. Off in the back right, one can find a small furniture section with some decent to horrible offerings. I liked some of the books they had and was extremely tempted to pick something up since I found many that perked my interest. Their music selection had me laughing as I noticed a couple odd bands from the 80s, 90s and beyond which I don't think anyone would buy. Color Me Bad anyone? I don't recall seeing much for motorized lawn equipment but I was in and out relatively quickly. Overall, thrift stores have a very particular clientele and subculture. I'm pretty sure if you're reading this you know how things go, so I'm not going to try and upsell you, rather give you the thumbs up to come on by and see what they got. It's safe and the people are nice while have a very large floorspace open to many different reasonably priced objects.

I had never visited and knew nothing about the Hope Center until the KC Open Spaces Arts Festival…read more The Hope Center is a not for profit center that supports activities and assists families and youth on the east side of KC. Part of their property includes an abandoned Catholic church that was transformed in the fall of 2018 by world renown artist and Missouri native Nick Cave, into a mesmerizing piece of art entitled Hye Dyve. A 15 minute loop of sight and sound flooded the cathedral and created a dizzying and overwhelming multi-sensory experience. Maybe the most awe inspiring art installation I've ever witnessed. Very cool that Mr. Cave used this out of the way center to showcase a world class exhibit and give Hope Center some exposure too.

Our "kids" are in their 20's and it is still one of our favorite family activities. Two hour shifts that go by so fast and we have rarely ever gotten the sane area in all these years!!

Community: a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests,…read moreand goals. That's what I get from giving my time and efforts when volunteering at Harvesters: a sense of community. Sure, I could just go help for the feels, but it's so much more than that. For one, awareness of the need is a huge part of volunteering at any food bank or pantry. In any part of this great country, there are fellow community members who go with less, if not entirely without. Did you know that with COVID, the local need is up more than 40%? No? Me neither. The need is *real* and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Harvesters rallies the community, bringing together volunteer forces from groups like churches, local companies, or other like-minded organizations. Harvesters combines those volunteers with donated foodstuffs and churns out amazing programs like the BackSnack initiative for school children or boxes of food for seniors. Marissa, the community engagement manager, guided us through some safety tips before we hit the packing line, and we were all in sync, moving towards that common goal. Whether you volunteer your time, donate food, or provide financial resources, Harvesters gives us all that important sense of belonging and understanding. Communities grow strong when we pull together during times of great need, and those communities flourish because of our common effort.
