CERAMICS review - I would say for the price you're paying... you really can't beat it. But there is…read morea lot of room for improvement here... For one; they have an inconsistent firing schedule and a lack of visibility to it at times... additionally, its only one type of firing Cone 5/6.. and the only expertise really available for you here as a beginner is handbuilding either via slab or other Coil/Pinch. There is one wheel, but wheel throwing classes are not available. Additionally, people tend to leave the tools in the sink all the time.... or leave things out...... The community is fine. Wouldn't say there's as much expertise sharing as in other communities; this is a great mostly beginner/intermediate level community. For hand building being the main thing this place has to offer I believe it needs more items that compliment hand building such as, more foam in different shapes, Weight scales, sand paper to level the bottom of an item, drimmels, etc. a lot of items that compliment hand building are missing here...

It is a very easy process to…read morecome volunteer a few hours here as either an individual or group; I highly encourage you to volunteer at least once to see how such a large food bank functions. I have volunteered in their sorting room and packaging area, both are a lot of fun and, full disclosure, can be hard work - but it is so rewarding! Large parking lot on site. You are not allowed to bring anything in to the volunteer areas with you, so they have lockers to use for free during your shift.

I recently replaced 5 bathroom vanity fixtures in my home. Instead of just dumping these…read moreperfectly-good light fixtures, I thought I would donate them. The first site that came up was Habitat. Cool, I thought, my old company used to build a Habitat House every year, so I thought it was a worthwhile endeavor. I checked the website which clearly stated that light fixtures were accepted. The next day, I drove over 30 minutes to the Habitat ReStore on 34th street. Walked up to the front door and there's a sign posted saying that they aren't accepting light fixtures. WTH??!! Not only did I completely waste my time to give something away, now I have an extremely negative opinion about Habitat. Would it have really been that hard to update the website?! The light fixtures are now on their way to the dump.

RATING ON APPAREL CONSIGNMENT SITE ONLY: Consignments are…read morebooked via the website, beginning @ 9:00 a.m. on the 26th of each month. Unfortunately, the Apparel site is fully booked within 2 minutes after opening. The Household Goods Consignment appointment site is easy to work, and one is able to readily book appointments. All in all Charity Guild of Catholic Women is an excellent organization, but needs work on the Apparel Appointment Website.

This organization should be ashamed of their selves! My family is not from Houston but a situation…read morehappened with one of my very close relatives that currently lives there. It took me days to encourage this family member to use her local resources to get some help with a situation that happened to her. She even had a terrible suicidal episode that morning because of her PTSD from what happened to her. She finally took my advice and contacted this organization 24/7 hotline. She was laughed at on the phone and was discouraged from reporting her incident. The night shift "supervisor" scheduled her an appointment with a counselor on November 10th to receive some help. That's 10 days later from the date of the phone call. Is that protocol? Is that how you are taught to assist your community members? I decided to call the hotline to speak with a supervisor, but I was met with the same lady. She refused to even provide her name to me so I can properly report her conduct on the phone. I'm not having to stay up tonight to sooth my relative from her experience and encourage to still report her incident. I hope no one has this experience and I hope this organization is shut down for a lack of knowledge and care for their community members. One word, DISGUSTING.

After working as a sub at the holly hall safe house and bringing classroom supplies, gifts and…read moreclothing donations, I saw the need and the benefit that community donations bring to the population served specifically at this location. After my assignment, I was told to bring the car load full of quality donations of children's books and clothing collected from homes in Bellaire (very affluent community in Houston). So I did. Or at least tried to. I walked into the main offices on Waugh and tho I was standing right at the reception window, 18" from some woman sorting mail, I was never acknowledged and it wasn't until another woman came in who was then helped before me, was I told in a dismissively contentious way that only new stuff was accepted. I wasn't asked if my stuff was new, despite 4 full boxes being exactly that, so I took the stuff to The Cottage Shop that serves The Women's Home instead. In addition, my mother tried to partner her non-profit Daughter's of the British Empire with this organization and attempted on 6 different occasions via phone email and letters to offer this group a lump sum cash distribution from their annual fundraisers which would have been over $5,000 but never once received any follow up. As a teacher in Houston ISDvery familiar with the social services offered to my students, I will never again attempt to work with or help this organization for its totally offensive treatment of me and it's disregard of cash donors.
