They always ensure the less fortunate have a nice meal and essentials especially around the holidays. This foundation cares about what they do. I have worked with them a few times and the amount of effort and love they put into each event gives each individual HOPE. They matter and they are worth it. This foundation has taught me that and I am so honored to be a helping part of a foundation that wants to make a difference.

My mom and I dropped off some clothes today, 12/11 around 12:25ish. This one guy that was taking…read moredonations was rude. He didn't say hello. They helped the person ahead of me expertly. When that person drove off, they made my mom and I waited a little bit while they talked and laughed. When they got to me and my mom, they took our clothes, threw it in the boxes. Then asked if we wanted a receipt. My mom who is elderly said yeah and then he's like well you're gonna have to get out and get it in there. He was just rude. Lacked in customer service 100% with us, I don't know what the issue was. We said no that's OK and then he's like all right and just walked off ! No have a good day or thanks for the donations. Nothing. Just Rude! It would help if they gave everyone the same type of customer service.

They pick up unwanted furniture and donate to those who need it.

I am apalled they claim to be a thrift store because the prices are outrageous calling themselves a THRIFT store is honestly misleading. Thrift shopping is supposed to offer affordability, especially for those who need it most. Instead, this felt like a resale boutique with thrift store branding. Charging premium prices for donated, secondhand goods is not just bad business--it's out of touch and disappointing. Save your time (and money) and dont expect to find reasonable prices

Now, onto the store! It's huge and it's been around forever. Lots of clothes and lots of furniture too. There are also two other locations, but if you are doing the "antique crawl" along Clark, this is the one to hit.

If you are looking for work clothes, something vintage for your apartment or just wanna check it out I highly recommend it.

Overall, the space is really crowded, but that just means more treasures to unearth. I did not have a lot of time to check out much of their clothing selections, but the few pieces I looked at seemed overpriced for resale. For example, a pair of LL Bean cargo pants was $14. Though, there are apparel deals on certain tag colors, with the best of these discounts being $1 for a certain color on the day I was there. I suspect if one took the time, there are good clothing deals to be found utilizing the discounts. Their housewares and organization-type items seemed to be priced excellently. I found two great kitchen storage containers for $1 each. I'm a sucker for statement necklaces, and it seemed their costume jewelry was fairly priced as well, with many of the neat necklaces I looked at being priced at $3.

It almost felt like a regular store and not a thrift store. As far as merch, there are a lot of decent brands, but they're mixed in with a lot of cheap labels and they're sold similarly. SHEIN is a dirt cheap label and should be marked as such for thrifting. Not listed similarly to better brands. I'd return though. I found a skirt that I liked for only $4.

My main complaint is that lately Goodwill is adopting the pricing and atmosphere of a curated thrift store with none of the benefits of actually being curated. For example, there are Old Navy and Target brand clothes are being priced at $10+ with none of the usual tag 50% discounts by tag color. Shein and all polyester clothing is being sold at higher pricing in the store than online. Now, this seems like this is an overall change for Goodwill, but it's very misdirected re-branding. Either be true thrifting (as Goodwill used to be) or be a curated thrift store (and price as you are). This new re-branding is not working for me, but I'm sure it'll be popular with this location.
