Went inside the donation area and two very friendly men unloaded my donations into their large boxes and took them in. I didnt have to do anything. Things are being sorted in a very organized manner in order to be taken into the store and offered for sale. I will definitely be taking more donations to them, as I think they are running a very worthwhile program. I have been in the store previously and things are well organized and the store is very clean. The people conducting the sales were very friendly and told me they would appreciate anything I donated.

This place is definitely kingdom minded. They are always practicing the principles of Christ found in Matthew chapter 25. They provide showers, clothing, hygiene, bus passes, food baskets, and meals to the homeless and low income people Monday thru Saturday. Meal times are breakfast at 9 am and lunch at 12 noon. There is a TV room and court yard where you can kick back in a safe environment with security guards to keep it a peaceful place. They open their gates around 6:30 am and you can stay watch TV fellowship charge your media devices and just enjoy the company of others and get out of the heat, rain, cold and chaos of life on the streets. They also allow people to receive mail at their address so t they have a safe place to receive social security checks, packages or what ever. They will assist you to find resources for housing, food, and many other needs. If they dont provide it they will help you with finding who does provide those resources. They also have a thrift store and give vouchers to those who need items for a new home after being homeless, clothing free of charge for those who are in need. They operate on donations. If youre not needing their services and are looking to help those who are they are always willing to except donations of clothing, hygiene, and household items that are able to be used by the thrift store and newly rehoused homeless people.

There isnt any good stuff here. Most of it is expensive. I think it shouldnt be because its used clothing and things store. What do they think its Ross. Their crazy with their prices. I dont recommend coming to this store. Way to expensive. Go somewhere else!!!!! Your losing money if you do.

Sadly today, an obese staff member of Hispanic descent argued with when I politely requested plastic silverware or a cup for water at the daily free breakfast. IT IS A CRIME AGAINST NATIONAL SECURITY TO BE IN A POSITION OF APPARANT AUTHORITY AND TO NEGLIGENTLY/RECKLESSLY RISK PUBLIC CONFLICT, ESPECIALLY OVER FOOD. I would recommend my allegation herein be quickly reviewed, and the woman involved be shot immediately at the premises no questions asked. sg.
