THANK YOU so much for taking the little, what we think was a baby deer mouse, when NO ONE else…read morewould!!! I sucked it up and drove the 2+ hours up to drop him off, I named him Junior, I just didn't want him to die and get a chance at a little life for himself (or herself, IDK) no matter how long or short it might be. They were so kind, helpful, and responsive and even tried to help me find a more local Denver rehab so I didn't have to commute so far, which I really appreciate that empathy. Nothing else worked out, they didn't care about a mouse, so I am very appreciative Greenwood was able to appease this whacky person who wanted to save a mouse. They are supposed to send me an update about Junior after a few weeks, I am still waiting, and if he does make it and get released, he will have a much greater outdoor experience out there in Longmont than he ever would in the city of Denver. I hope to get good news about him someday, but even if not, I still won't regret trying to save the little mouse that I fell a little bit in love with.

A baby squirrel, about two weeks old, fell out of our tree. We did all we could to arrange taking…read morethe baby back up to the nest but mom was just not interested. We finally hit the internet and located this place. The staff responded immediately to our phone call and, later, our text messages. Upon arrival, we were met by a beautiful young woman named Shannon. She was helpful and friendly. They immediately took the squirrel and started assessing him. They really seemed to care and I was happy to have found people that could help. I really hope my little buddy survives and thrives. They didn't charge me anything but I did voluntarily donate 80 dollars to help defray the costs.

kind of a selective place in terms of who they will help…read more was sent there by utilities dept. to get my utilities turned back on. I'm a disabled senior w cancer and heart issues. got there, they tell you you'll be called in 24 hours, they will not help you when you actually need it. had to borrow money, to get turned back on, still cold Wes. talked to them the next day, they said since I " self" resolved and was turned on( but only for a few days) I'd have to make an appointment, and probably wouldn't get one for weeks. the week before a friend told me they helped her imediately, paid utilities to get it turned in, literally days before this happened to me. they said they had no connection to Social Sevices, but when I went in there, they had my name address and everything else on a computer and I've never been there before. Doesn't seem like these people really help someone who needs help. So the moral of the story is if you borrow money that you have to pay back within like 24 hours or something to get your utilities turned on so you don't freeze they won't help you. you have to make an appointment and wait weeks to get help but some people walk in and just catch help right away. Sad and I felt discriminated against.

Wow, I've read some really petty situations getting some people upset on Yelp, that's a shame and…read morereally the complaints are from someone who's upset... Hey, they can help you in so many ways - focus on the positive! What OUR Center does for those in need of several basic necessities. Sometimes things that are more complicated take a bit longer to sort out. OUR Center is really a a doing a very difficult job in offering resources to those who need help. Many of the people who make OUR Center function are the volunteers who selflessly donate their time, strength and knowledge as well as so many people in the community at large and local grocery stores that donate food and hygiene items that the clients in OUR Center go home with. The OUR Center staff are then able to help with other, more complex challenges - AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! And sometimes OUR Center goes through shortages of some items, just know that they also know about it and are doing their best to get that item ... especially during the pandemic! OUR Center require that you become registered as a client. You cannot just walk in and walk out without some paperwork and counseling. OUR Center is NOT a religious organization, but respects all religions and all people (who behave like normal humans - I mean, come on!). Breakfast and lunch is served most day - call to confirm. Groceries are allotted with a point system based on you family number. For the grocery, you must call to get an appointment and be an OUR Center client. You will be able to pick out what you want based on availability of donations, the volunteers hard work, the Center's ability to store items for their clients (they have an expensive building with a kitchen, dining area, warehouse, and client shopping area, and a clothing closet, and offices). The community closet has re-opened after COVID restrictions and thanks to the people at large who donated (and continue to donate) clothing, clients are now able to apply for clothing point/dollars. The clothing is in great shape, often brand new, and displayed in a nice, organized, clean atmosphere. They also have some kitchen items for those "just starting-out. The cost maximum is $2/2 points per item (insanely low!). They select only the best donations to pass on to their clients and at this time, clients who see the representative, can shop every 3 months. There is so much more to OUR Center! Be positive, let them help you, and be realistic about the time table, this isn't a magic show!

It was reassuring that they were able to shred the documents while I was there. It was a fast process! I will definitely be returning to Green Girl when I have additional shredding needs. The person who worked there was so friendly. Green Girl will also accept 1 bag of already shredded paper per day at no cost. This is a great service because our city no longer accepts already shredded paper in recycling bins. Shredding and recycling services are also available for personal and commercial pickups. Recycling for electronics and hard to recycle items is available. The City of Longmont offers free paper shredding events that take place once a month at Green Girl Recycling. You need to be a Longmont resident. You can bring 3 file size boxes.

Oh the JOY of another ARC, and one closer to me! This one opened April of 2019, and I love it!…read more This coming from the consummate thrift store shopper. Great deals on amazing items to be had. I go on Sat., 50% off most tags day. I always find something, might not be on my list, but always something. I especially like the layout, its is easy, large signs designate the areas and clothes are by size AND color, so easy! We often find brand new, tags still on clothing or items like the hydration pac my husband found today. We have found brand new, never worn pants and jeans for him as well. This place is the best for fake florals, especially if using outdoors. My score today included the exact pillow that matches one I already have for my bed, SWEET!, and a cute little RAE DUNN vase for a dollar! This has been my go to thrift store for many years, and so thrilled to discover the ones here in CO.
