It is true that Habitat is more expensive than other thrift shops, but it is possible to find…read morebeautiful items at reasonable prices. My house flooded, I lost a lot of furniture. I knew I would want to use my large screened in porch, as soon as I got back into it. I bought most of it at Habitat, and it's beautiful, in fact my dream porch furniture. The kind of things, I've never seen in stores. 3 vintage wingback wicker chairs with lovely pillows & several other things. It all cost $750. More than I wanted to spend but worth it.

We love that they come pick up all our stuff as we are moving. Thanks for helping the community…read morealso.

I realized that my review of Southeastern Guide Dogs isn't accurate now. Unfortunately even before…read moreCOVID-19 they removed their program that lets the public interact with their puppies. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't heartbroken by this. Playing with the puppies and learning about how they could grow up to be service dogs was such a wonderful activity. We did it more than once and just loved it. Probably a couple people didn't act properly and ruined it for the rest of us. In spite of this I still donate money yearly to Southeastern Guide Dogs. They provide incredibly trained dogs to help those with visual impairment, veterans with PTSD and other disabilities, and children with huge challenges for FREE. The dogs that don't pass the program are adopted to loving families. I miss those puppies but I still support them and their mission to help others.

First let me say that I am one of the people responsible for this company being in Florida. As a…read morelong time member of Lions I helped to get it here over objections of many other members. Secondly, I approached SE for a dog as my service dog had passed and was told that I don't qualify in a very rude comment by the staff. I am a Vietnam Veteran, United States Marine with PTSD. I have problems with walking but that would not prevent me from walking with a service dog so trained. I spoke with a physician friend of mine who annually donates a lot of money to the organization. I don't think he will be supporting it this year. Sincerely Gordon Kuhn

When I think of food donations - my mind always goes right to the holidays, will families have…read moreenough food to enjoy and make merry the seasons. And it goes without saying, that applies to toy donations as well - all little boys and little girls should have toys. Behind the county Meals on Wheels was another charitable donation center - Manatee Food Bank and as I pulled up, a friendly fellow greeted me immediately, directed me where to park and magically appeared with a hand drawn forklift within two shakes of a cat's tail. (I bought some live cattail plants last week, they're on my mind apparently) I can't say that I can offer you some food bank and pantry tips, I'd love to say to cut a check in the firm of financial donations over canned goods - but I just can not do that. There's just too much corruption today - I'm not pointing the dirty end of the stick at anyone's outreach - but UNISEF got busted I believe and they're one of the biggest. Canned goods, toys and volunteering - always pay it forward - it feels good to give.

One of the best Goodwill's I have been to by far! There are so many treasures to be found here…read more Being in the Sarasota area where it's known to be a little wealthier, I knew there'd be good thrifting. This store was so organized and pretty clean, and had a ton of stuff. They have a lot of nice vintage clothing if you're willing to search. A little disappointing was the graphic tee selection which was almost nonexistent, literally half a rack, but other than that there was so much. If you need shoes, they have 2 sections full, for men and women. There's of course so many rows of women's clothing. But there's also some really nice home stuff. I got an almost brand new Calphon pan for like $7. What I also like that they do here is you can have a loyalty phone number. I haven't heard of many Goodwills doing this but maybe I've just been to the wrong ones. But once you sign up, they have a color tag each week that's an extra 50% off and you can use this at any Goodwill in the Sarasota area. Shout out to the worker who checked us out and made sure we got this discount- I wish I remembered his name but he was so kind and helpful. For the people saying this is expensive I'm a little confused. Most all of the clothes were $10 or less that I could see, I got a pair of nice heels for under $10.. And the deals you can find here are still so much better than actual retail price.
