“The Junior League of Pasadena is an excellent organization to join. If you are looking for professional development and personal empowerment, a network of amazing women, and volunteering opportunities / ways to give back to the Pasadena community (and beyond!), I strongly recommend joining. It is a great investment in yourself and your future.”
“Smooth Donation Drop-off
Dropping off donations here was quick and easy. They offer receipts for tax or benefit claims, which is helpful. They're clearly doing good work helping people in need.”
“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.”
“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”
“A great organization that helps people choose charitable organizations they are passionate about. A wonderful gift for those who want to help others help others.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Joining The Planetary Society in California has been an incredible journey! I've had the pleasure of meeting some truly amazing people who share a passion for space exploration and science. The community is welcoming and inspiring, making it easy to connect with others who are just as enthusiastic about the cosmos. One of the highlights has been their collection of stunning images of planets and space phenomena, which never cease to amaze. The dedication and hard work of everyone involved are evident in every event and resource they provide. It's been a rewarding experience, and I highly recommend joining if you're fascinated by the universe and want to be part of a vibrant, knowledgeable, and friendly community!”
“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.”
“This place is awesome, currently due to the Easton fire this place has kept its doors open and accepting volunteers to help for the distribution center .... it is an amazing thing to see everyone come together and help.”
“What a gem here in the heart of Pasadena! The studios are well equipped and accessible. Their lending policy is generous and their hands-on classes are superb! The staff is friendly and accommodating. The perfect makers space!”

I kept made with love and good thought.I’m sad to see the store close. It’s been my favorite place to go to every time I come to Pasadena.”

“I normally don't go to goodwills. But this is a special Goodwill because it's the Goodwill boutique. The prices are high but I mainly only buy The color of the day that's half off.”
“This is a very cute small theatre with local productions. It is small in production, but the acting is pretty good. I enjoyed watching Our American Cousin, and I like how they did a prelude that explained how it became infamous. The costumes are good, and considering the size of their productions, they have a good amount of stage changes. The chairs are all the same height, so it is easy to be blocked by a tall person. Come early to get a seat, it is first come first serve.”
“Door of Hope has earned a deeply respected name for welcoming entire families into private housing and providing compassionate, holistic support—something few shelters in the Inland Empire can do. Under Megan’s leadership, the organization is frequently described not just as a shelter, but as a transformative launchpad toward lasting stability and hope.
What stands out across descriptions and community voices is how Door of Hope balances professionalism with genuine warmth. Their thoughtful programs go beyond the basics—helping families rebuild not only their homes but also a sense of belonging. There’s an inspiring consistency in how they deliver results with kindness, dignity, and respect.”
“I was at that Elizabeth house in January 2020 to the worse USA pandemic witch was 2021 I thank are father in heaven had blessed us to meet Mrs Terry Bright the best sister hood that I felt save and sure I wanted for my kids and now there still here to help those hands that support to get back on my feet and I’m doing so better now and understand the true meaning about Christ thank you Mrs bright I found my peace now and if you ask me is being a mother and a lady god.”
“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.”

“Hours before our Dad passed, Convalescent Aid Society helped us with an urgent request for a wheelchair. They helped us at our greatest time of need so I can’t thank them enough about CAS. This is the best Organization so please support them.”
