    Very friendly staff, and you get $50 for something that takes five or ten minutes and helps scientific research.

    This Goodwill has been in Davis Square for a very long time! I have been going for at least 24…read moreyears. It had has been remodeled. I remember it was a dark and dreary place years ago. Not anymore! The store is organized by color and the article of clothing. Makes shopping easy if you have a specific thing youa re looking for (ex. jean skirt) or by color but I find it better to organize by size. There were a few interesting finds on the floor such as Ugg boots, Hunter boots, name brand clothing. Stocked stoor! Clean. Lots of employees working to keep up with the commotion. Downstairs has home goods, toys, etc... I think maybe they art shouldn't be near the toys (see my photo.) But that's just my opinion. I can share I thought it was the best Good will that I have been to for: 1. displaying books 2. wall art (a lot of self painted canvases) I left with a cute little picture of a ghost on a swing. It was $7.99 which I did think was a little high but I just liked it so much I couldn't resist.

    It's a Goodwill, which means you walk in with low expectations and somehow they still manage to…read moresurprise you. There's a ton of stuff. Clothes from every era, furniture that looks like it's been through a custody battle, and shelves packed with random objects that make you wonder who owned them and what went wrong. Variety? Absolutely. Purpose? Debatable. This location does seem a little too proud of some of its merchandise. A few price tags had me doing a double take, like... relax. This is still donated stuff. We're not at Sotheby's. It's an indoor yard sale with fluorescent lighting -- let's keep the pricing humble. Organization is loose at best. Racks are packed, shelves are chaotic, and finding anything specific feels less like shopping and more like rummaging through someone's basement while they're watching you. But honestly, that's kind of the deal. If it were tidy, it wouldn't feel authentic. It'd just feel wrong. You might find something great. You might leave with nothing but dust on your hands and questions about humanity. Either way, three stars feels fair.

    I had an excellent experience with ReSupply today. I scheduled them for a pickup to donate a chest…read moreof drawers, long dresser, two night stands and a recliner. They texted me in the morning with a smaller window of arrival time for the afternoon pickup and then again when they were 20 minutes away. This was very helpful so I didn't have to spend all afternoon waiting for them to come. The two gentlemen that arrived on time were professional, friendly and very careful removing heavy furniture. The cost came in right around the estimate that was given. Overall it was a very good experience and I highly recommend using ReSupply.

    ReSupply was confirmed to come today from 8AM - noon. My husband and I took off to oversee that…read morethe many furniture items of my late father's were picked up and hauled away for the price of $450. Noon came and went without notification that a driver was assigned so I called, texted, and emailed. I called again and was transferred to a support specialist named Roberto E. Roberto informed me that the driver in my area didn't have time for my pickup, however, I was never notified. I told Roberto that my husband and I took the day off for this project and needed these items picked up by end of day. He said he would contact the driver to see if he could fit us in this afternoon. Roberto then called and emailed back later that the driver "might" be able to do it tomorrow. Might? What if I take another day off, and they can't? Should I take the whole week off? This is already costing me $450, now my PTO, too? I work in healthcare, I can't work from home. I made a reservation, I paid a deposit, and I had a confirmation. Why is this happening? Is this a scam? It's not acceptable to string me along and expect me to take days and days off work for drivers that may or may not show up. Don't bother calling either. Zero customer service, no one wants to help, and no one cares!

    There are just so many good things to say about this place that I'm not sure where to start…read more First, it is not a "shelter" in the typical sense of the word, and the staff and guests do not refer to it as a "shelter". They consider themselves a "community", and act as such. There are NO lines for anything at the WLP. The women are served their meals at their tables by volunteers, and their materials are bussed for them once they are done, unless they choose to self-bus. The food. Oh heavens! WLP prides itself on serving nourishing, FRESH food. Each meal will have all nutritional requirements met, and there is always a veggie option. We're not talking canned goods or sandwiches here, folks. No, this is chopped and diced fresh veggies, prime cut meats, the finest ingredients. If you're a good cook and after you've volunteered a few times, they are happy to let you get in the kitchen and help whip up stuff. The resident chef there, Gina, is wonderfully creative in the kitchen (and very nice), and from time to time, other professional chefs from local restaurants come in to put together a meal. The WLP isn't jsut a food place, although that's the highlight of the day. It also provides the women with full time advocacy support to help with finding housing, food, or other services. There is a computer room/resource room that the ladies may use. There is also a nap room where women can go to get sometimes some much needed rest, and also a quiet room for just some peace, solitude, and maybe reading or reflecting. Women are also able to get various toiletries and clothing that they may need. They may do their laundry and take showers. The Program Manager, Heather (also very, very nice and competent) has done a great job of making sure that there are interesting activities for guests if they choose to participate: yoga, painting, field trips, knitting, etc. Since the WLP is run as a "community", the staff are INCREDIBLY patient with the women, and if a guest is being disorderly or breaking a rule, she is not immediately tossed out, but is counseled and given more than one opportunity to redeem herself by correcting her behavior. Throwing someone out is a last option at the WLP. WLP treats its volunteers as the valuable commodity we are. We are appreciated, thanked, and made to feel a part of the "team". Added Perk: They also have really incredible volunteer thank you events! I enjoy volunteering here. I learn something new and meet new people each time I go. I don't have a lot of spare time to volunteer, but when I do, the WLP gets me all the time, every time. It's important to know that this place could not be so great without us- the community at large supporting it through donations, volunteering, contributions, etc. The staff, Regina, Linda, Joanna, Lauren, Linnie, and Cheryl are terrific- go meet them! This is just a wonderful, wonderful place. You will not leave here without your heart being touched in some way.

    Just to add to the great review by Adrienne -- The Women's…read moreLunch Place is an amazing community run by dedicated and caring people. I've volunteered there many times, and the experience was wonderful. The staff is as open, kind and welcoming to volunteers as they are to their ladies. The ladies? Wow. Having the opportunity to really get to know some of the women in this community is a real blessing. The WLP is one of my favorite volunteer opportunities. Try it out!
