“I donate often and this is my go to place to drop off donation now. The staff who receive donations are always polite and courteous. The way they present items for resale, it is obvious how much care and heart they put into it. It looks like a well kept store.”
“We adopted Weather yesterday. She is such a WONDERFUL, 2 year old mixed breed stray from out of town. Reach really does their due-diligence - checks your references and interviews you! Until you're cleared for take off, the one boss lady can seem a little strict, but anyone can see that everyone there has the best interests of the animals passionately in their hearts! There are so many cases of abuse and neglect in this world, and they want to make sure none of their beloved animals become a statistic.
I've owned small businesses and done a lot of volunteer work. I know too well that things don't always go right despite good intentions. To the other reviewers that didn't report 5-star experiences, I urge them to show some grace to these dedicated and passionate volunteers. Their hearts are AMAZING!
Thank you Reach Rescue!”

“This might be one of my new favorite thrift store in IL. It’s well organized, clean, and affordable. Their furnitures are well priced for what it is-nothing too crazy expensive! Sonya is also very nice and friendly-she made me feel welcome as soon as I stepped inside the store.”
“Love this cute resale store, and it's shopping with a purpose because of its mission to serve and help those around the world. So, this is my go-to place to donate, and I've found some great clothing, shoes, and purses there. There's always a sale! Just make sure and check the days and hours when they are open.”

“I love this thrift shop staff is kind and I always donate all of my gently used items here. I know they go to a good cause and will sell at a fair price. I really appreciate the low prices. It’s what thrift shops are all about. No stinginess. Good items for good prices and nice staff is very important. Oh And I must say it is very clean and doesn’t smell vs other thrift shops ! I love that I get text messages from them about sales and events. I will continue to support this place by donating and buying. This is my favorite sparrows locations.”
“This place is such a gem!!! If you live here or are just passing through, you need to check it out! So clean and organized. Lots of fun things!! Steve was so sweet and so knowledgeable. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Best day is Monday. Unfortunately savers must think their donations are gold. They have started pricing way too high. A used tank top 7.99. Walmart brand new 7.99. ? I'm going for new”
“Great people. Great stuff and they told me it all goes to the community. Super happy it exists. Moved here from LA — so much better deals than the ones out west and better quality too! Love my new silver bowl.”
“I am a frequent shopper at this store. It is always clean and well merchandised. I have interacted with the manager, Heather, in the past and she has always been kind and courteous. Today, however, she went over and above. Somehow, I don't know how or where, I cut my finger. She was so kind and helpful, giving me wipes, antibiotic cream and Band-Aids. She even helped me by opening the items so I could access them easier. She is the true Spirit of Christmas.”
“The ladies here are amazing, and working for such a wonderful cause. All proceeds go to Informed Choices. As a new mother who has been able to join Informed Choices program, I feel so lucky to have received so much help and knowledge from them. Keep it up! You guys are awesome!!!”
“very nice staff but prices has gone up alot. thrifting is also to help people who can't afford certain item, not to pay retail price for used items. The prices starting to look like salvation army prices.”
“This is a thrift store supporting aid to disenfranchised people. It is clean and organized. It has a staffing issue like most other businesses. I wonder if the complainers have ever held a job or if they think they're in Neiman Marcus.”
“I think it was Ken and Anthony who found the books I mistakenly dropped off there. They were very nice and helpful. I really appreciate that they went above and beyond to help me. So often people do the minimum, it's great that the team at the hoffman estates goodwill does the maximum to provide their customers and donors with the best customer experience.”

“i just wanted to share a message while we all sit under the same circumstances in life right now. I ask that everyone here learns to find reasons to give space for mutual respect, support, and ego. I like to believe in life that the world is a reflection of the way we treat others; and I find it sad that during these times of uncertainty and loss, we still find the energy to put others down- solely out of the fears we can't personally face. that's okay. Within time you will overcome those and see the other side that wasn't so bad. Please find time in your day to breathe, let go of some baggage you carry and bring with you, it can show all over your face if your careful.. ask your peers how there really doing, and find ways to enlighten them. Im sure that's does by far more for you and the other person, than it does what they ate yesterday! The more we can find reason for divine intervention within each other, is the only way we will get out of this together.
Have a great day!”
