The Salvation Army has changed so much from what it use to be. Now it is like any other organization that looks out for itself and people second. That is not the way it was evan 25 years ago. Check the history and mandate...it was all about people. I have had the same experience as the lady who left disappointed. When people come to you with a need to help others and instead of helping them you send them away......what a sad testimony indeed! I am sure the founder Booth would be turning in his grave if that were possible. read more

Maybe I have this wrong but it has always been my understanding that the Salvation Army Thrift store was a place where people with little to no income could shop and make purchases that they could afford. I visited your store last Saturday with wish list for 2 families that are single parents with 2 children. These individuals both work but have low incomes and are trying to make ends meet and provide for their children. I had a list of what these families needed and you did indeed have some of the items that would work for them. However, the prices that you have on your items are out of their reach. It blows my mind that you charge full price for donated mattresses, if the poor could afford a mattress at full price they would go to a mattress store. A mattress is something that cannot be purchased used very often in fear of bedbugs. I was delighted to see an arm chair that would work very well for one of the families until I read the price a used, a little worn donated chair for $50.00 too much unless I have indeed had the wrong understanding of your purpose. Needless to say I left the store feeling very disappointed. Thanks for taking the time to read my feedback. Disappointed in Fredericton read more
