My husband is a woodworker and is always looking for great sources for quality wood, as well as…read moreinspiration pieces. We've been to ReStore, which we love. We also recently discovered Second Chance, which we thought was awesome. So, we were excited when we found out about this place. The amount of wood that they had was amazing! It was a fantastic assortment of different quality kinds of wood, at very reasonable prices! They have a great selection of items that you might need for your home, whether you are remodeling, or just looking to add a few new pieces to your decor. I did not realize until I looked at their website that they have a $10 per year membership fee. However, for the quality of items you get at such amazing prices, it's definitely worth it to support a great non-profit.

Thankfully, The Loading Dock (TLD) in Baltimore, MD, takes financial donations. They do need them,…read morefor the "General Fund," to keep the lights on. Also, they take checks and value privacy;-) Just by looking at their video shorts, I wish that I could make trips there with my children, but "when life gets busy" time flys by. I get a chuckle when I see their staff of 2-4 at a time refer to things I grew up with "as antiques," but I guess they are. Everything is "back in style" every 25+ years, so if it's "Stinkin' Cute" don't be afraid to try it! Their "customer service staff" is delightful and outstanding++ as they have been from the beginning! I could spend hours (as one of their staff members has suggested in a video short), but my family would officially think "I had gone missing". (that's a "joke" in case you've lost your sense of humor these days) As an ex-fed, I'm thankful that I'm a member of the very "inexpensive annual $10 donation of product" team. It breaks my heart when I see people tear up old homes on some, but not all TV Reno shows. The next time my contractor is able to work here, I'm going to recommend that they take all of their "unused but still good materials here". Thankfully, TLD (at 2 N. Kresson St., in Baltimore, MD 21224) sells fantastic products from "what was truly back in the day" at Extra Low Prices. Such a small staff, still running fast. Give them a call, their phone # is 1-410-558-3625. They are open every day but Sunday. They also host great community building events, check out their calendar! Can't say enough good about them. I keep hearing over and over about "new trends and changes" but ~ TLD is a BEST Representation of how Old can consistently be made New again. Thanks to You and the Staff for being "consistent in your values" from the beginning of your time in Baltimore, regardless of who you are and what level of status you have achieved.
