    ** First things first: this is not the correct address if it still says the 5600 S. one. The…read morecorrect address (and the one this review is for) is: 1875 East Murray-Holladay Road. ** Now then... While I've not ever been moved towards volunteer-type stuff, I've always admired their mission and supported this organization where I could. If I ever was inclined towards volunteering, here is probably where I would go. That aside, as to the dropoff, it's remarkably easy to get in and out of this place. I was there with 4 bags of clothing and the entire process took 3 minutes total, probably half of that was finding the correct staff to get a taxable receipt. Couldn't really have been easier and they have drop boxes if you want to hit them up during the non-staffed hours. Staff was pretty friendly and convenient and did a great job moving other dropoffs through the queue while we were there also. I don't know of a way to do this sort of thing better or more efficiently, at least on the collection side when dropping off (no idea how they do on pickups), so I'd say this is probably as good as an operation of this type can get.

I find myself singing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of The Year" out loud in garden centers and making a fool of myself giggling at nurseries. It is, in a word, Spring. For the past several years I've relied on the WCG Plant Sale for all of my vegetable garden plants. I just bought a boat load of tomatoes. In fact, this is where I buy them every year. Heirlooms aplenty, and some varieties available nowhere else. Heirloom varieties of squash, melons, and other edible perennials fill the parking lot waiting to go home to be planted, cared for, and harvested. There's also a long and distinguished list of herbs for sale, and lots of great non-edible but waterwise perennials for sale. It is heaven. Springtime garden heaven. If you want the best selection, make sure to arrive early. Like, an hour early. If you're there to browse, skip the crowds and come around 9 or 10. You'll still have plenty of varieties to choose from. Plan on spending a few minutes in line, but you'll be surprised at how well they move people in and out of there. Plants are cheap (starting at $2 for the little guys) and going up from there. Cost is secondary, because this helps raise money for the awesome programs at Wasatch Community Gardens. Super fun event, great plants, nice folks, good cause. A win all the way around!

    Hopefully, many other Yelpers made it to this event. The booths up front have lots of good things…read more We bought cheese and pastries. The number of tomatoes available is huge. They are all great heirloom varieties. The price is amazing. It's well organized and everyone is friendly. The only thing that could have made it better was knowing ahead we could have brought the dog with us. She ended up in the car because we didn't know. We'll know next year, because we'll be back.

    It has now been another year with my son at St. John's CCDC and, if anything, my opinion of the…read moreschool has improved. He has "graduated" from the tiny kids room (12-18 mos.) to the Hoppers (18-24 mos.), then Crickets (24-~30 mos.), and now Fireflies (30-36 mos.). I was initially quite hesitant to agree to the Firefly room, as it is a small space with limited outside light (and no toilet!) set up for a few kids who were 30+ months and potty trained. As initially pitched to me, they were putting him there because they were "over-capacity" in the other rooms. Booooo! (Turns out, that is not a helpful selling point for any reasonably [fine, over]protective parent who understandably will object to putting her kidlet in what appears to be a sub-standard space so others can get the "good" room.) BUT IT HAS BEEN THE BEST THING EVER. He loves his tight-knit group of five Firefly friends and he loves the teacher (Ms. Alexandria) about as much as he does me. He has thrived in the small class atmosphere, which is full of all the art and nature and learning a little boy could want. He also still gets the benefit of the bigger classroom through visits to the Caterpillars (36-48 mos.) and has even been able to go on neighborhood walks and field trips with his little buddies. He is transitioning full time into the Caterpillars soon, as his third birthday is next week. The teachers there are already handling the transition perfectly by reaching out to include him as much as possible. Seriously, I love them. If there were ten stars, St. John's would have all of them.

It would have been amazing to have them come to our facility and get as many patients qualified as he could. Other residents told me Outreach pick's and choose's who they will give phones too. That they have said they don't have phones, and our resident was looking right at them. This is no way to service our Salt Lake Community. We found an even better company and their raving review will be added soon!! Do better Outreach Mobile. Do better. My experience is an incredibly large ZERO star rating. I can't change the star below, but it's a zero for us.

They have affordable access to commercial kitchen space, and learn the steps to establishing a successful food business. Every Thursday they offer a set-cost boxed-meal service cooked fresh by a featured entrepreneur. I've been getting their weekly email for sometime now, that reminds you it's time to order the meals of the week. Meals will be available for pick up on Thursday's between 4:00pm - 6:30pm. Each week "Highlights" an international restaurant that is cooking for the week. You have two entre options to choose from (Omnivore and Vegetarian) along with extras to purchase, which is usually a side dish and/or dessert. Meals are around $10 and desserts are around $5.50. 43 miles round trip to get dinner for tonight in the dark, during rush hour, and it was raining. Not a good mixture to pick up meals tonight with the short window for pick up times. I had to leave work early in order to make it on time. I'm glad I did. I really loved the meals I got tonight from "La Pizea Andina" which is Venezuelan Cuisine. Meals were plentiful and tasty. I just which I didn't live/work so far away, and with the short window to pick up meals only on Thursday's, I'm just not able to order weekly like I would like to. It's a great way to enjoy a taste of international cuisine, and support local chefs, and community. I'm so glad I found this meal service. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did.

Each week there is a chef offering food from around the world, aa of now rotating between Burmese, Afghani, Sierra Leonean, Jamaican, Venezuelan, Sudanese, Nepali/Bhutanese, Syrian, Armenian/Russian, Somalian, Indian, and other Middle Eastern cuisine. The price isn't bad, the servings are pretty large, and it is for a great cause! I have really enjoyed the food here, as well. It is very fun to try some food that is not accessible in Utah.

They have awesome shirts at this office or on their website, I love their message and it is essentially that porn kills love. The people in here are so down to earth and humble; the office blends in you wouldn't even know it was such an amazing powerful company and that they are based out of Salt Lake City! We support their message 100% and really love that they resource people in getting help from past porn addiction as well. Addiction comes in many shapes and sizes and looks different for everyone. We have known countless people struggle with this in silence for years and we love the message this company sends. We don't believe anyone should be ashamed about coming out about their struggles; every story makes it more powerful to someone who is struggling. People need the hope and need to know that people can and do recover. The apparel they sell is rad and they use next level apparel which is super comfortable. I am obsessed with the shirt I have from them and the message is the strongest part they could send! The shirt I got from them says that people aren't products. They also have resources explaining what a lot of people don't know; but that the porn industry is a billion dollar company as well as the fact that it goes hand in hand with human trafficking. You wouldn't think they could be related but you would be surprised. I love and support this company so much and am so thankful to have them in my city! Go and show love and support them!
