About The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center
The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center is a large and spacious thrift store that offers a wide selection of furniture, clothing, housewares, electronics, shoes, and exercise equipment. Many furniture items are in good, new-like condition, likely due to direct donations from furniture stores. The store is well-organized, with clothing sorted by type and color, and fitting rooms available for trying on items. Electronics are organized and accessible for testing, and housewares are arranged by color, although prices tend to be on the higher side, sometimes comparable to retail stores. Clothing prices vary, with some affordable options on half-off days, especially during special sales, though the quality of clothing can be low, with some items showing wear or damage. The store does not charge sales tax on donations, and proceeds help fund Adult Rehabilitation Centers that assist those struggling with drugs and alcohol. Parking is large and well-marked, though the location is busy and not the most convenient. Customer experiences highlight good deals on furniture and occasional unique finds, but some note that prices have increased over time, making it less affordable. While some shoppers appreciate the store’s wide selection and the funds raised for social programs, others mention that the quality of clothing and housewares can be disappointing, with torn or stained items and higher prices that don’t always match the condition. Overall, it is a popular thrift store for those seeking furniture and a portion of proceeds supporting valuable community programs.
