“Rock River pantry was a surprise. They had a garden outside, the staff was very kind you could tell that she volunteered and that her heart was truly into helping people. I made my first strawberry rhubarb pie with the strawberries I picked there and the rhubarb they gave me. I also got lots of good things when I went inside to The pantry. So I just want to say thank you very much ?”
“I highly recommend this hall for your events, Carla and her husband are amazing, very professional and helpful. Carla did an amazing job with decorations and our guess were impress with her delicious handmade tortillas.”
“I donated a sectional couch to them. I liked that they didn't charge to come pick it up. The lady I talked with was nice. The guys picking up the couch appreciated that I had it cleaned up and ready for them in the garage. Overall great experience.”
“I cannot say enough great things about this organization. I have to be honest, I used to not like Goodwill. I believed they over priced their clothes, when everything is donated then a beautiful thing happened. My son was given the opportunity to participate in their Pre Apprenticeship program all for free. They helped us with gas cards, educated my son on the Trades profession and they keep track of him with a case worker for a year. His case worker is helping him with a resume other classes to take and helping him find his career path. My son has ASD and this program is really helping my son. Goodwill is a wonderful organization and I will be forever grateful. If you or your child is struggling to get an education or just doesn’t know what they want to do with their life career choices I highly recommend you give them a call and see if they can help. If you or your child ( over the age of 18) doesn’t need any help please consider donating to this wonderful program. I am eternally grateful as I was laid off after 26 years from Chrysler just living paycheck to paycheck waiting for my plant to reopen. This program has been a lifesaver for me and my son.”

“Over the years, I have picked up girl scout guide books, journey books, badges and pins. During this time, the ladies who work here have gone above and beyond getting me the badges and other items I needed. There were even times they had to order items for me but they did. I also enjoy using the cookie cupboard that is located here because it is close to where I work and service was always fast and friendly. They also answered questions I thought to ask about girl scouts while I was there or they called someone who could help me.”
“Many programs are offered here and a place kids can play basketball during winter sometimes and adults if you can get the ball lol. GED classes thru RVC take place there and also AA meetings take place there Fridays at 430pm.Not the best area unless you from the westside than it's normal and could be worse.Staff very nice and helpful.”
“Goodwill is underrated. If you know how to look, you can find some real gems here. Prices are unbeatable, also cool knowing the money goes toward a good cause, helping people get jobs and support. It’s not just about saving money—it’s about finding quality stuff and giving it new life.”

“Our daughter has resided in a Goldie group home since May, 2017. We are very pleased with Goldie staff and her entire experience there. Our daughter can be very difficult to manage at times and the staff in her home are great. We check in with staff regularly and they are very responsive to our needs and concerns as is the nursing staff.”
“This is where our family held our Grandfathers funeral. Its a nice building and very spacious. We were able to fill the entire chapel with people. The people who attend regularly were nice too!”
