Community Services/Non-Profits in Laguna Beach, CA

“We bought our tickets on line, parking wasn't too bad as we arrived at 9:30, parking cost was hourly @2.50. Line to get in got pretty long but we were in the beginning of it. I went straight to the pottery and put myself on the list, they had a cancellation and I got right in. I loved "throwing a bowl" it was so much fun, watched "Muffin" blow some glass, she was working a heart that was for a senior that her husband passed away and was provided some of the husbands ashes and added them to the glass, it was so beautiful. I will provide a picture of her card so you can check out her work. It was so awesome to watch this process. The hot cocoa was so delicious it had some extra cinnamon and was amazing. Lived looking around at the artists creations! Magic show and pictures with Santa. We plan to come every year and make it an annual seasonal trip. I recommend this event to anyone!”

“Beautiful store and cause to help our community. People help People! Thank you Michelle for your assistance today. We love everything we purchased and will share with the community your mission. Thank you!”

“My wife and I would come here back in the early 90s before we moved away. We would come and visit the cats and play with them. Our favorite was Romeo who was a huge orange lover boy, we miss him....”

“We went there with a group of friends and everyone was so happy and friendly. I enjoyed their tour and the history of the place, plus the stunning views of the mountains and Laguna Beach.”

“My son goes to the Boys and Girls Club in Laguna Beach. He absolutely loves all the things it has to offer and the teammates who work there. Together they have made it an amazing experience for him!”

“Shhhh!! Do NOT tell anyone about this awesome place! I couldn't believe how many stylie duds I found AND in my size! I'm more a size 5 or 7, but FYI, if you're 'rexic and on a budget, this is your spot - no other thrift store has more couture/top brand size 0's for around $5 I'd like to personally thank the anonymous angel who donated the gorgeous near new cashmere sweaters, Blue Asphalt denim, Roc & Republic jeans, Love Fire moto slacks, Volcom shorts, and Sonük's (like Tom's)!! You rock stylie lady with the mysteriously identical body, wherever you are!! I had to subtract 1for no dressing rooms. So if you check this place out for clothes you'll need to be ok with trying anything on over your clothes in front of anyone walking by. Wear slick yoga pants and flip flops to make it easier. Extra points to the two employees working when I was there. They'd recently changed their store hours but hadn't updated it online so they'd let me stay later in kindness for it.”

“I grew up in this town and AL has, thankfully, been around forever! Always friendly, clean and great items to find! It's a treat that they have a "high end/designer" section where you can really find some goodies! They also put so much energy into restocking the store for every holiday. Need a Christmas or Hanukkah decoration or gift? They have it in time. Thanksgiving? Dishes, placemats etc all for the season. Halloween..it's a must! It's ongoing.The other part I really appreciate is the organized drop off of items donated. I donate throughout the year. There are designated days and times. Easy to pull up and park in the back lot, be greeted by the staff, they take care of you immediately and offer you a receipt for a tax write off if you wish. AL is so different from many of the disappearing Thrift Shops. It is deeply cared for by the residents of Laguna, (hey, it can become a gab fest with old friends you run into) and also by the VOLUNTEERS who donate their time to keep it thriving. Thank you AL !”
