This is the best of both worlds or whatever Queen Hannah Montanna said! This is because not only is…read moreDO GOOD CO. an amazingly curated resale shop, it also is a non-profit. Does that mean I can tax write off my vintage Chanel?? Well, that question remains unanswered. However, the merit of DO GOOD CO. isn't in question because it always impresses. From its fantastic selection of name brand, in tip top shape, lightly used designer goods to the wide variety of unique and local gifts to surprise any hostess or birthday girl or bride to be...or heck just about anyone youre looking to impress. If you are looking for a store that'll make you beam ear to ear because not only are you being kind to the environment you are also simultaneously supporting children and dogs in need in the immediate kcmo metro area then, DO GOOD CO is for you. It's one of those specialty vintage shops that never feels pretentious but does feel exclusive, and I absolutely love that for the downtown KC area. It makes it easy to allow patrons to feel at home as well as making it a luxury shopping experience. I will continue to shop at DO GOOD CO and FEEL GOOD about doing it. Just recently, I was honored to be invited to attend a holiday party at DO GOOD CO. and every detail was well thought out and planned impeccably. I was so impressed by the catering as well as the great selection of vendors who brought flair to the festivities. Thank you for the opportunity of celebrated the season as well as the mission of this spectacle local non profit.

What a wonderful place. I had the privilege of staying here in a recent trip to the Kansas City…read moreArea. The Heartland Center is a retreat and conference center run by the Presbyterian Church with a variety of levels of accommodations from hotel-style rooms to campgrounds to dorm style. Food is served in a dining hall and activities include horseback riding, ropes courses, a pool and more. The Staff it great, conference rooms are perfect for many sizes of events and the space is overall very clean. If you need a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a home base from which to explore the KC area or a site to hold a company or church training/retreat, be sure to put the Heartland Center on your list.

Great Plains SPCA is a fantastic no-kill animal shelter that quietly provides adoptions of dogs and…read morecats rescued from across the Kansas City metro area. The Johnson County-based member of the big 3 that includes Wayside and KC Pet Project. We found our rescue puppy here and couldn't be happier with the process and location. Very accommodating for visiting with kids with spotless private rooms to socialize. We appreciated the overnight hold option where you pay (donate) a nominal amount to not feel rushed and ensure the whole family could sleep on it before coming back the next day for the homecoming. The shelter is often overshadowed by Wayside Waifs, which also does a great job, however this facility and team are excellent for both dogs and cats. The Merriam location also has a small retail store that you can gear up new adoptions. As you would expect, adoption fees (donations!) are much higher for puppies and kittens than the less cuddly teens and pre-teens. Note: In prior years they offered a veterinary office that was open to the public, but those services are now reserved only for the in-house clientele (ahem - bob barker...). Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays unless you're a dogcatcher

We were extremely disappointed with this animal shelter. It took an act of congress just to go see…read morethe animals and you couldn't really interact with them without signing your life away. Some of the folks there were helpful but others seemed like they didn't want you to be there. No help in the dog area at all. It's like you are at an outside mall that only allows window shopping. Not a friendly place that would make me want to adopt an animal. I do feel bad for the animals there. I'm hoping they pay more attention to them than the people coming into the shelter to adapt them.

I originally started with this company last year and had a fantastic experience, found a job…read morequickly and everything was great. However, that job didn't work out and when I worked with them again...2nd time around it was a nightmare. They went through new management and if I can give this company zero stars I would. AVOID AT ALL COSTS AS ITS NOTHING BUT A WASTE OF TIME. I got matched with April, who is also the "manager" of the company. You would think working directly with the manager that you would be in good hands- WRONG! I have been working with this company OVER 4 months, and only met TWICE! The first appointment was a nightmare as she did a no call no show, and then tried to call me the liar when I have email proof of the scheduled time/place that SHE suggested. As someone with a disability and a survivor of domestic violence it was extremely traumatic to have so one calling me and screaming at me calling me a liar despite the emailed proof. The 2nd appointment went okay...however we were scheduled for 1 hour, the same day/time every week and April the manager literally cancelled every single appointment...always the day of, literally 2 hours to 15 mins prior to the scheduled time we were supposed to meet. She never offered me another day to make up the missed appointment or offered to add extra time to our appointment scheduled. Not only did we only meet twice, I still don't even have an updated resume...she said she didn't know how to update my current one. She did make me a resume that looked absolutely horrible. My city was wrong, the dates of past employment was wrong, and all of the bullets did not live up. It looked like she just slipped it together, even my address was wrong! When I suggested to just use my resume that was made prior, she said she didn't know how to update that template and demanded that someone else help me with it. She didn't listen to me, and had zero communication with me. And the fact that she cancelled over 11 scheduled appointments was just a waste of time. Never an apology. I suggested that I have no problem meeting with another staff member from her team and she never even emailed me back. She was very rude, and literally hurt my feelings because of how disrespectful she was (as the manager) to put her other clients before me. Even the 2 times we DID meet, she was telling me that I "don't have to schedule another appointment". I don't even own a computer...I have been jobless since 8/1/24, and I also have a learning disability...I also have rent to pay for! Zero communication, completely disrespectful and violated my rights as a client that I had with "The Whole Person". She often would cancel and blame it on another client despite me communicating via email explaining to her that I really need her to start showing up for our scheduled appointments. April is extremely rude and unprofessional, it was a complete waste of time. I never been treated with so much disrespect from someone who is supposed to be representing an organization that works with people with disabilities. DO NOT USE THIS ORGANIZATION! No wonder my old job coach that I used last year left the company.

She never talked before the meeting or attempted to understand the background or needs of the child. She got on the zoom meeting and within 10 minutes she was having a full on conversation while her mic was on. She did not only not hear or help but she told her girl to call me afterwards. She said good news tgey gave you some options. I said the option they persented was to file a due process. She said well that's goid, right? I said they are going to sue me. She peoceeded to tell me even if she knew what she was doing, she would not be able to confront the school because they do business together. Disgusting!

Having been in the HR profession as long as I have and with the caliber organizations for which…read moreI've been blessed to lead the function for, I've had the opportunity to work with many of the "big name" brokers to assist with benefits needs. Some were selected by myself or in partnership with the CEO/CFO, some as part of a formal RFP process, but at the end of the day I would say that all the big players do things largely the same. They may dress up their data analytics a bit differently than the next guy, or another might have a slightly more robust management toolbelt around a specific focus such as plan modeling, managing their own captive groups for one or more lines of business, or an approach to pharmacy benefits than others dominating the marketspace... but at the end of the day, there is often precious little which truly separates them. (Aside from their Marketing spend, that is!) With The Miller Group, their approach is elegant in its simplicity. Having known Jayson Cuba for a number of years, and now with the opportunity to also partner with Dan Harrison, Erin Tucker, Tracy Johnson, and Shelby Hoffman for the past few years, I describe their differentiator to other HR leaders and executives as having every bit of the product/market knowledge, all of the data analytics, all of the contemporary thinking around employee benefits & risk management, and all of the customer service of the big name brokers and more... and it is in this "and more" section where they truly separate from the pack and pull away to command the race. As a family-owned business, their rock-solid principles (grounded in faith) are evident in all the entire team at The Miller Group does. There are no empty promises of premium savings only for the sake of gaining a sale, calls and emails are returned promptly, and each and every interaction is polite, personable, and professional. There are no call trees, no endless transfers, no endless times waiting on hold, and no pointing fingers at carriers or TPAs when challenges arise. Regardless of the day or time, no matter if the issue is major or minor, we are always made to feel as though a call from SkillPath to a member of The Miller Group team is THE most important item in front of them. (I won't name names... but NONE of the names topping those lists that pop up when one does an internet search of largest benefits brokers EVER could day-in-and-day-out deliver THAT level of service!) When you read their tag line that Miller Cares... they really do! The Miller Group cares about the health & wellbeing of my employees and their covered dependents, The Miller Group cares about simplifying benefits design, deployment & administration for me and my team in HR, and The Miller Group genuinely cares about the success of our company.

One of the few companies I refer others to and I am always confident Jamie and The Miller Group will exceed the highest expectations!

I felt most of the books were rather pricy even though it said they were 1/2 off. Some were newer, but some were not and the prices still seemed pretty steep. Vintage books are available as well, which those prices are expected to be in the higher range depending on the book. If you are in the market to get rid of some books, records, posters, cassettes, electronic players, etc then they will buy those items on the spot as well.
