I found Orange County Rescue Mission and I love the support they provide for the community so I decided I wanted to give my donations to them. Orange County Rescue Mission is open Friday to Wednesday from 8am-5pm, Closed Thursdays. They have a convenient area for you to drive up, and their volunteers are super nice and will be more than happy to help you lift and unload your donations. Donation receipts available upon request.

They even explained that Salvation Army is now using QR Codes in place of a blank paper receipt. It's good to see friendly staff. It makes a big difference when you're parting with stuff you've always been emotionally hanging onto for decades. They made me feel welcome. Thank you and I will be back. My only regret is that I forgot to take a picture of these folks - they deserve credit for excellence in customer service.

I went to this thrift in search of costumes for Halloween night. I found costumes indeed; they were…read morenot for Halloween night though. They were costumes for another kind of night. One that involves a husband, wife, GF, or BF getting off work early & maybe calling in sick the next day. Most Halloween costumes say Spirit or Halloween Express somewhere on the packaging. Not these costumes. These costumes said "Forplay" on them--as in the activities that precede the activity. One costume was called "A Scaredly Lion." The woman modeling the costume did not look that afraid though--she looked more like a hungry or thirsty lion to me. A mom checked out a milkmaid costume for her daughter or herself presumably, & I'm not sure she understood the type of milk maid labor this costume implied. Salvation Army, these were not Halloween costumes or costumes suitable for kids; these were spicy night costumes--the kind that are not meant to be worn for most of the night. 5 stars for bizarre amusement in adult slumber party costume merchandise form. Nothing quite like the ideal attire for a special hoe-ccasion.

This store is great! As soon as I walked in I was treated by the Store Manager, Marilyn, and asked…read moreif there was anything in particular I was looking for.

Update: since I posted my review, Restore called me and made a note to update their website with…read morethe curbside requirements. My experience was still poor but give them two stars for trying to improve for others. I scheduled items for donation. A day before my pickup, the confirmation email said I had to have everything on the curb unless prior arrangements had been made with the call center. So I called about noon and left a message saying it was not possible for me to move items to curb. They were on the ground floor bedrooms. I asked for a call back to confirm and didn't receive one. The truck came and the drivers refused to move the items out of the house. I called again and got voicemail again. This time I wanted confirmation that my credit card would not be charged for the failed pickup. I haven't heard back. Obviously, I'm donating another organization

As soon as I walked in I got a huge whoosh of their new signature "store smell"--super strong, and it took me a few minutes to adjust to it. Maybe the machine was broken? I heard it constantly running while I was there; it just kept humming. Usually they are intermittent--hum for a bit, then stop every few minutes. I was there for about 10 minutes. My nose started feeling all weird. I got to my car and my clothes reeked of the scent. Horrible. Also, don't they know that crap artificial scents are hormone disruptors? Bad for health. No one asked to be blanketed in perfume gas while shopping. What are they thinking? 30 minutes later... still stink. INFO: Many synthetic fragrances contain phthalates (e.g. DEP) and synthetic musks that act as endocrine disruptors. They can mimic, block, or interfere with hormones (estrogen, testosterone, thyroid). Lab and animal data link them to reproductive effects and earlier puberty; they also bioaccumulate.

If you have any nice, work related clothing I highly recommend donating here.

I make donations to Mercy Warehouse as well, and the people there are always super friendly, greet you with a smile, and help carry your donations from your car. 100% better experience than Working Wardrobes so Mercy may be getting all my donations from now on.

I was…read morefollowed around the store by 2 volunteers who apparently felt I was planning on stealing something. SMH Really? Get some cameras if this is a constant and daily threat! Then I was yelled at simply for using the bathroom to try on clothing. Permission was given to me for this purpose by one volunteer. Then, another volunteer (who followed me around the store) yelled at me, stating it wasn't allowed while pounding on the bathroom door *demanding* I exit *immediately.* The volunteer who gave me permission then lied saying she did NOT give me permission to try on clothes. Good grief! Make sure your communications are clear to all volunteers so customers don't have to be on the receiving end of your wrath, anger issues, and power struggle. What a horrible and degrading experience. I was even thinking of volunteering there but, if these volunteers are representative of the values of the Assistance League, no thank you! I will also be taking my business elsewhere since being followed and yelled at was so unprofessional and disrespectful to a customer who pays money to help their charity. I wish the Assistance League well in helping out the community but perhaps better vetting of volunteers is needed so more customers don't feel shamed for simply shopping and wanting to try on clothing they may want to purchase.

They like to pick and choose who can receive access to necessary social services, which is absolutely wild. Ive experienced this first hand with Erica Hernandez, who not only has a very unwelcoming energy, but would not give me access to any resources I could reach out to seek other types of necessary assistance. All this while recovering from a c section with three small children. She also threatened to keep me from ever being able to come back because I took too long to fill out her exit form. She wanted me out of the program so badly, she contacted me more to be exited than she did to help keep my kids under a roof. I hope God has Mercy on those type of people (who go into social work jobs with extremely low and nasty vibrations). You're a civil servant, take pride in ALL of your community. Thats all folks.

Disney employees first, starting at 6:30 a.m., and then to the general public after 11 a.m. It is advertised about the ear hats and headband ears but most I found were embroidered with names. There were a few toys and merch but it's not how they're spinning it on the radio & news stations. I did snag a few name brand sunglasses. Do note that this is once year...which means it has been sitting and consolidating for quite awhile. Clothing that is new is mixed in piles of worn clothes. Regulars will have gloves on and even tongs. If you've ever been to a "buy by a pound" sale at a swap meet...it's like that. All in all a fun treasure hunt. I go once every couple years but it's not a do or die.
