Community Services/Non-Profits in Urbana, IL

“This is a small thrift store located in the middle of a historic Urbana neighborhood. Most items were pretty worn, but there were some treasures sprinkled throughout. The book selection was surprisingly great! The store itself is very hard to navigate, and you'll find yourself saying excuse me every other minute trying to get around another shopper. Check out was easy and efficient.”

“This location used to be a County Market years ago. Now it’s a partial grocery store and partial resale store. A lot of people like this store but I’m confused why some of the groceries are so expensive here when it’s supposed to be like a safe haven for people experiencing poverty.

Yes prices are rising everywhere nowadays but check out the prices on the photos I posted here. Over $9 for some peppers? ?

Not the store’s fault but people steal carts from this store often (see photo)

But thank you to Salt and Light for being a place with food in this region of Urbana that is considered a “food desert””

“The University of Illinois Alumni Association is housed in the Alice Campbell Alumni Center building. This is a great area for alumni to visit while on campus and to meet other alums. There is a nice lounge area, library with past yearbooks and displays featuring prominent alumni. There is also an event space on the first floor. This building was open and parking was free on the Saturday when we visited. When on campus, I highly recommend that you go to the Alice Campbell Alumni Center!”
