Community Services/Non-Profits in Fountain, CO

“If you are eligible put your preconceived notions to the side and visit a couple of times. Friendly members and staff. Tons of games and different activities all week. Found members have patience to teach a new game. Learned a couple over the last 2 weeks. Many afternoons they play bingo. This week they started lessons on line dancing. The staff plans trips and group dinners out. Going to cripple creek, San Diego for example. They serve yummy looking lunches. We are new and have not joined yet so not partaking the lunches yet. While you are there visit the thrift store. Changes daily never know what gem you will find.”

“I think it really sucks that they don't have in store dressing rooms any more- ever since Covid when all of the stores had to close them, most of them reopened since.Goodwill, however, decided to permanently leave them closed. They follow that statement with the fact that you can make returns for 7 days following purchase, for store credit only, with original tags&receipt and to the same store location where you made your purchase. Which is in itself one of the worst return policies I've ever heard of. Not to mention if someone happens to have to drive however far or be out of town when they need something, that makes it really inconvenient and time consuming if not impossible. I know if I'm making a purchase I also don't have time to try it on at home, return it within 7 days because I don't have one where I live and don't go by one regularly- if I did then it would basically be like a constant get and return thing anyway, given you're forced into store credit to start the cycle of buying things which you have no way in knowing if will work for you or not. I could go on, but I'll just say there's something about every aspect of their policy that is not consumer friendly and I'm sure it's convenient for them that most people don't go thru all the troubles and just keep the clothing/ other items or get store credit that they never end up using because that's just how it works.Other than that, this specific store is okay sized but strangely doesn't seem to have a good selection in any dept. Just the bare minimum. I won't get started on the pricing that's higher than new items because they don't have the perfect model to go by and there's alot that goes into pricing plus they're the one thrift store that doesn't waste very much because of the so many different things they do like recycling, online sales and outlet stores, etc. So most items get sold at some point.The guy at checkout was really nice though and the store was fairly clean, given that it's full of used items and has alot of traffic. The restrooms were clean and well stocked and they have alot of parking right in front.”
