Sitting here in the parking lot and feeling obligated to sit in this blazing toasty Prius to write…read morethis because unlike the +130 reviews I currently have in draft mode, I feel I gotta get this out. I'm here in Monroe because of an offer up deal I was doing at the nearby Lowe's so I'm about almost an hour out of my ways due to traffic, and out of a completely spontaneous decision I went into the nearby goodwill. I don't frequent most places, but I have been to probably an unhealthy amount of goodwills. Idk why but even if I don't have time I usually make time if I see one I haven't gone to because it's such a random occurrence of events to find a dope find. Tbh in the last 5 years I've grown to usually take about 10 minutes tops to get in and out due to the mediocrity that is so casual for goodwill but I'm here to say that I want to go on record confidently stating this is the best goodwill I've ever been to. No, it's not doing something out of the scope of goodwills agenda, but everything you expect from a goodwill they are doing in an ideal way. The team here is just putting out such a variety of items and EVERYTHING is in sellable condition. Holy moly it's organized. I've seen organized goodwills but it's not common, and it's unheard of to see the combo of variety and organization. Tbh I was forcing myself out after finding like 3 amazing things because of my budget, so I didn't have any interaction with the staff or anything, but who cares. The store itself shows these people are talented and care about what they do. This review will amount to nothing, but this should be said. Thank you Monroe Goodwill and keep flippin thriving! P.s if you're worried that I'm toasting I'm not, I'm still in the parking lot in the heat, but my phone was at like 10% so I'm chillin in the car and the a/c on Bye

I volunteered at the Mentoring Children of Promise program within Volunteers of America. It was a…read moregreat opportunity to learn more about social service and working with children, which is exactly what I was looking for. The 2-star rating that I'm giving them might be a bit unfair, but I feel that the program was very poorly run. I would liken my experience as a VoA volunteer to that of a cable TV customer - I had a great experience with them at the beginning but toward the end (especially when I was about to quit the program), I was ready to pay a decent amount of money to get out of it. The initial training that they provided was fun, but not very useful. It didn't set a very realistic expectation of the experience. The program coordinators were nice, but trying to get support or advice out of them was a moot cause - I guess I can't really blame them because they probably don't have any authority or influence to fix the situation. They need to properly train their staff and seriously revamp their process framework - relying on good intentions will only get them so far.

I have filled out all information and sent it in. We paid in full for mediation. The woman I am…read moreworking with has serious communication issues. She's not returned emails, yet she will answer my soon-to-be-ex husband's emails. She's called him to set up a time/date for mediation and NOTHING for me. I am the one who is bringing mediation upon my soon-to-be-ex husband! She sent paperwork to him, and none to me. I had to get her info from my soon-to-be-ex husband and sent her an email with my email address in the text in CAPS. Next day when she sent me the paperwork she was dumbfounded as to why I didn't get the paperwork before (either didn't send to me or had the wrong email address, not a hard to reach conclusion). Now she's called my soon-to-be-ex husband asking when a good time would be for him to come in for mediation, but no phone call to me. I sent her an email yesterday and I have no reply. I have sent an email to another employee who was initially helping me asking that I talk with a manager. I am very unhappy with the service. Please use a different mediation service even if it cost more. This is garbage.

I've been to several shelters in the past year to adopt and it's been up and down. I went here on a Saturday after work and brought home my fur ever baby girl. I'm a proud happy fur mom . This is the happiest day of my life . I cried so many tears of joy when I was able to adopt my new female dog. I named her Sasha. Previously known as Oldsmobile. Sasha is the absolute sweetest girl ever. Sasha is what my heart needed. As a puppy she is very smart. Introducing to crate has been fairly well. Eating wow this girl can eat, run, do sprints around the house, yard and is super excited. I am too lol. Potty training is going very well in the morning she wakes me up with kisses to say she has to go and stands by door we go out. We have a routine. Totally recommend Homeward Per adoption to everyone. You will never be disappointed. The accept donations from you if your pet has passed away, been surrendered or you just want to donate, food, toys, supplies for dogs and cats. Well, I could continue to give praises all day. Gotta go mommy duty is calling.
