“Partnered with CAIR at Solano College for the second time and they did an amazing job facilitating the workshops requested. We've personally worked with Fiza, Hiba, Fatima, Maha, and Bismah and appreciate them all! They were informative, punctual and cooperative. We look forward to partnering with them in future events as it's SO important for us to build these connections with Islamic organizations such as this one. Keep doing the important work, especially now more than ever!”

“I recently visited this Goodwill of Silicon Valley and overall, I had a pleasant experience. The store is clean and relatively well-organized, which makes browsing through the aisles an enjoyable process. While it’s not the largest store, they’ve done a good job of maintaining a tidy and welcoming environment.

One of the standout features is the selection of books. Whether you're looking for a good read or something specific, their book section is pretty decent for a thrift store, with a nice variety of genres and titles. However, if you're in the market for furniture, you might be a little disappointed. Their selection of furniture is quite limited, so don't expect to find a lot of options in that department.

What they do have, though, is a unique variety of items. I found an interesting collection of wooden dishes, which you don’t typically come across in most stores, along with a decent assortment of toys for children. The clothing section is also worth checking out. While it may not be massive, it offers a good mix of styles for different tastes and sizes. I noticed a few nice shoes as well, though, like most thrift stores, it’s hit or miss depending on what’s been donated recently.

There’s also an eclectic mix of household items, including Chinese ceramics and glassware, which adds a fun, treasure-hunt feel to the store. You never know what kind of unique finds you’ll come across during your visit.

One thing that really impressed me was the staff. They were more than helpful and extremely friendly, making the shopping experience even better. There were plenty of employees on the floor to assist customers and answer any questions, which is something I don't always see in second-hand stores.

In summary, while the furniture selection is lacking, this Goodwill offers a clean and relatively well-organized shopping environment with a good variety of unique items, books, and clothing. The friendly and helpful staff are a definite plus, making it worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a good deal or an unexpected find.”
