    It's hard to find a good place to donate to these days. How do you know that your donated items…read morewill actually go to people in need? I had a closet that needed to be purged desperately and Saint's Place has a community in need of gently used women's clothes. When my friend told me that they'll use my old clothes right away, I was sold. It was a match made in philanthropic heaven, so to speak. Saint's Place is located in Pittsford, adjacent to the St. Louis Church. Their goal is to aid and assist newly arrived refugees by giving them clothes, housewares, tutorial services, and by setting them up in new apartments. Lots of families rely on Saint's Place to get set up upon arriving in Rochester. What I really liked the most is that the refugees pick out clothes and leave with them that same day. Here's how it works: you can just leave your donations on the back porch and grab a receipt if you itemize. Make sure you keep everything together in a plastic bag to protect from the elements! For those of you who love a good garage sale, Saint's Place has an annual super sale. This is noteworthy because it's the one time of the year when they accept donations of non-children's books. Saint's Place normally only takes children's books because the refugees are only now learning to speak English. Clothing donations should be of the casual variety, maybe a little business casual to be thrown in. Pickup is available as well if you can't drop off your donations easily. Of course, volunteering is also good too! I'm glad my friend told me about Saint's Place because I know my old clothes will be put to good use here. If you need to clean out your closet, consider donating here, there are lots of families who will be glad you and I did.

    Had a very good experience after having some bad experiences elsewhere…read more I've got a 6 month diagnosis and need to get stuff taken care of for my wife and our 7 kids. I'm particularly looking to see who will be helping my family through the process. They were very straight forward and good at listening. It was clear they wanted to adjust to our needs. Mike was ready to help advise when needed and accommodate wherever we already had ideas. He's the first guy we meet who was a friend rather than a "salesman". We actually had a pleasant experience through a difficult time. Facilities - pristine Pricing - reasonable and straightforward Personality - a keeper (I recommend Mike) Helpful - no pressure, lots of choices My family has a sense of humor about things like this and felt at ease through the whole conversation. This is everything I would hope for the experience to be.

    The pickup of my mother's body was just fine but things went downhill after that. I went to speak…read morewith one of the Keenan brothers about how my mother's remains would be dealt with (cremation). It was clear from the very beginning that he couldn't get us out of there fast enough. The building was cold and dark. We were told that they had another group's visitation hours that day and that seeing my mother's remains one last time would be inconvenient. He made it clear he had more important things going on. He was filling out the requisite forms so quickly and messily I thought he would get some information wrong. In fact, they had to call me later that day to make corrections for exactly that reason. When going over an itemization of expenses, I asked what their fee covered and he looked at me as if to say: how dare I ask? He only remembered to be friendly and wish condolences as we were heading out the door. My friend and I walked out more jittery than when we'd walked in, quite an accomplishment considering I had just watched my mother's passing. We were relieved to get out of there. But I was worried. I was told I could pickup my mother's remains in 2-3 days. I called on day two, they said to come on over. They gave me someone else's remains (same last name and, incidentally, wrong gender). Thank God I had my friend with me. She caught the mistake before we were too far away. At this point I felt I had to stick my nose where it didn't belong because I didn't trust them to act honestly. The other Keenan brother rushed her remains over from an off-site facility. It was all highly unprofessional. When I called to speak with Kelly about all the above, she was very kind and easy to deal with and promised a $200 refund for the inconvenience experienced. I have yet to receive the check. This was in March. It is now July. I don't want anyone to experience what I did during such a stressful time. Do not go to Keenan. They were great at one time when they took care of my father and hopefully will be again.
