“I have borrowed few equipments from Convalescent Aid Society and I have had great experience with them from creating the account to ease in getting the equipment i needed for my family member. It is such a blessing to get the equipment without paying anything , may be little donation if you can afford to keep the program going, so everyone can benefit from this non profit organization.I am very thankful to the Founder of this organization and the supporting staf as wellThank you”

“Great neighborhood park with soccer and softball fields, basketball courts, playgrounds, community compost, and a recreation center with swimming pool. Every Tuesday morning, there’s a farmers market where the friendly honey guy always has treats for doggies. (Thank you!) There are no poop bag dispensers, and the doggie drinking fountain always seems to be broken, but there are nice paved walking paths and grassy fields to frolic in.”

“Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to take a peak at the free to see “From the Ground Up” exhibit. This gallery is small but engaging with a wide variety of contemporary artworks on display that all told a different but connected story. The gallery wasn’t crowded at all which allowed for an immersive art experience. I was able to find street parking close by without issue. They also host other exhibits periodically and offer art classes for children and adults. I haven’t been to one of these yet, but would love to in the future. A nice place to stop by for a bit to enjoy free art if you find yourself walking around in Old Pasadena.”

“I guess I never left a review because I’ve been gate keeping this place, although it is small this is the best thrift store for miles around, the price points are always what you expect a thrift store to be, not a price gouging contest like other thrifts & there are some amazing quality donations here! The staff is amazing, big shout out to LEO for the way he connects with his customers, his work really makes this place feel like a small town store & really emphasizes the community it is in ! Only downside to this place is the parking, not many spaces & the people in the cars are horrible .. some old lady hit my car here parking in a fake space

Have tough skin when dealing with the customer base, there is no sense of personal space, they will reach over you bum into you dropping stuff out your hands & brush up on you in the creepiest ways .. customers suck but the staff & place is well worth the bs, overall AMAZING”

“My husband and I had our wedding here in March 2025 - absolutely beautiful venue! The existing furniture and decor meant we didn't have to spruce up the place too much ourselves plus saved us some money on table/chair rentals, and we loved that we were able to bring in all our own choices of vendors. The getting ready area upstairs is beautiful and very spacious as well. We had about 65 guests - the max for the venue is 120, but I think it would be pretty crowded at that number. For 65 it was perfect. We had access to the venue the day before for set-up and rehearsal which was super helpful, and we and our coordinator had a very easy time working with the groundskeeper for day-of logistics. The 3D tour on the website is very accurate and helped us a lot when planning between site visits. I definitely recommend Shakespeare Club for your small to medium size events and weddings!”

“When I moved to the LA area a few years ago I was so happy I could transfer my Junior League membership to the league in Pasadena. It's a tight knit group of motivated women who are actively participating in their community. If you are looking to gain leadership skills, learn how to fundraise, and/or do hands-on volunteering in the Pasadena area, I highly recommend checking out JLP! They have even shown their resilience and adaptiveness during the pandemic, with online meetings, virtual fundraisers and socially-distanced volunteer opportunities. Looking forward to another great year, which just so happens to be their 95th!!”

“This is a great place to come volunteer if you're in the Pasadena area. It's located near the intersection of Pasadena Ave & California Blvd. Parking can be a little difficult since it's all street parking, but if they allow you to park in their driveway, then that's a win for you. My team dedicated a whole morning to cook a meal for the young patients here and their mothers. We decided to go with a Mexican meal because most of the families were Hispanic. We cooked a variety of enchiladas, with sides of rice and beans. And for dessert was a healthy fruit salad that we chopped up by ourselves. They provided us with the kitchen space and tools to do the cooking. Majority of the cooking tools were worn out, so next time I definitely want to donate some new ones to them. There was a kitchen in the front house and a back house, but both were very small. I suggest having a maximum of 6 people in each kitchen at a time, or it will get a little compact and chaotic. We had to take turns because we had a total of 25 people. During our downtime, we got to enjoy the property and interact with the families. I love what the Ronald McDonald House is doing for these families. It brings me absolute joy to volunteer and provide any aid that I can to our community. Our workplace is making this a once a month activity, but I definitely see myself coming back more often than that.”

“AbilityFirst is an amazing organization that serves children and young adults with disabilities. Every year they have a really fun fundraiser called Food & Wine Festival. Tickets are around $400 to the fundraiser but it goes to a wonderful cause and is so fun, with music food drink and socialization. This is such a great organization doing such great work.”
