Got the chocolate chip (soo good), double chocolate, m&m, and Chicago style. All were buttery and had a wonderful soft texture when you bite into it. Some of the best cookies I have had. I got some decorated cookies, didn't try it, but those who did loved it as well. I will definitely be back! The woman working there was so friendly, even took the time to tell me about the business when I asked.

I got a trunk full of breads, milk, eggs, wraps, taco shells, whole grain bread,oranges, cookies, snack items, frappe mix, fresh tomatoes. Mashed potatoes. Potatoe salad, beef broth,yogurt bars, a jelly roll cake, whole grain bread and other items. Caring helpful volunteers who loaded cats. It was a humbling experience seeing people lined up for rows to be served.

We scheduled a pick up with the Epilepsy Foundation and they took nothing! We donated to their…read moreorganization, or tried to, because a flyer was included with our Richfield citywide garage sale information. ALL of our items were listed as being accepted online, including six bags of worn-once/new-with-tags clothing from Express. Some guy showed up and picked through a couple of the boxes of household items and then got back in his truck and left without taking one thing. There was no help when we called the organization. We wasted time and energy getting that stuff put out in our driveway just the way they wanted it. We could have donated to a reputable organization. Beware, the Epilepsy Foundation only wants to SHOP through your stuff for some new items. They are NOT actually willing to take all donations. It's a major waste of time and effort to schedule with them.

Such a great organization! They take donations (housewares, furniture, small…read moreelectronics/appliances, decor, etc.) and provide them to people to who are transitioning out of homelessness. We worked a special shift via Surly Gives a Damn, sorting hangers. But they do take groups of 5 or more to do projects such as putting furniture together, sorting utensils and linen and more. There's always work to be done. Shifts are 2-3 hrs long. The work was very chill. You got to pick what you wanted to do as well as they were very accommodating for example if you needed to sit while working or needed to take breaks. Diana was running things and she was such a great host! Made us feel welcomed & made sure to tell us about all the opportunities they have to volunteer and give back. She also offered tours of the warehouse after the shift was over. She said she's always looking for new volunteers, so if you are looking for opportunities, please check them out!!! They have 3 locations- Bloomington, Roseville & Plymouth-opening very soon.

I came here to share my donation experience and how easy it was to coordinate with the staff at JC,…read morethey also helped me unload about 15-20 bags that I had gathered from a drive I was doing for the holidays. Being Born and raised in St Paul I am shocked I had no idea this non profit existed and was pleased to stumble upon it online while looking for places to donate. I love the concept of being able to have a dignified shopping experience for those in need hence why I chose JC to donate to. But I am disheartened by the reviews I am reading from folks in the community as I am biracial myself and have a biracial family. I truly hope that a Christian based non profit is not discriminating against people of color or mistreating those that are in need. I encourage you to listen to those expressing their experiences and concerns and for JC to do better moving forward.

It's my hope that people continue to provide them with new and gently used clothes, homewares, makeup, haircare, and other goods that help people feel like the wonderful people of our community that they are. Everyone deserves some time away to shop for the things they need or better yet, the things they want, for themselves or their friends or family. Please give to this organization and drop in to see what they are all about. A store that operates for free for people to "buy" what they need and feel human, when so many people make them feel second class...this is a model many other organizations should adopt.

And the selection of flavors is out of this world - they literally have everything you could ever want and dream of. I've tried over half a dozen different types and have yet to be disappointed.

Service has always been impeccable, they're also quick to help if you seem to be having trouble choosing (which happens to me on occasion). If you are downtown and need a sweet treat, do yourself a favor and stop. Thank me later.
