“I've shopped in here for years. I buy a little bit everything they sell. The ladies are always happy, and they always say hello. Some of the pricing is too high, and I think that's wrong cause management won't come down at all. Which is wrong cause they get it free. You would think they would work with people. Except she doesn't. I heard her lie to a person today who was interested in an item, and she said it was just put out. I go there a lot, and it's been there over a week. That's the only negative thing I have to say. She needs to learn to be honest and listen, when it's all given to them.”

“My RN and aid went above and beyond. They not only made sure my mother was taken care of. They always checked in with me to make sure I was taking care of me. The calls from the Social worker and the volunteers were appreciated.When she finally took her last breath our RN was there within 10 minutes and stayed until the body was picked up. She was there when my grans came to say their final good bye. She made sure all questions were answered. Our aid was always gentle and respectful with my mother. Mommy was a very private person, but she looked forward to her visits.”

“I did t get to look around much because they were about to close but I did find what I came for , jeans for my kid , 2, 3-drawer storage bins for toys and happened to find jeans for myself. All for $30 which was very fair. Loved it! Do not go to the thrift store down the street their prices are way too high it's absurd, shop here!”

“Most importantly, the employee who checked us out was super nice and personable! I visited on a Wednesday afternoon. The store was fairly clean, but not super organized. Specifically the books being spread across 3 different spots in the store. Pretty small selection of toys. I wish the bathrooms had baby changing tables. Overall a positive experience.”

“I love stopping by The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center when I am in the area because you never know what kind of hidden treasures you might stumble upon. The clothing racks are massive and packed with options, and I managed to find a couple of vintage flannels and a great coffee mug for just a few bucks. The store is generally clean and well-lit, though it can get a little disorganized in the housewares section where items tend to get piled up. The staff at the counter were incredibly polite and working hard to process the continuous line of shoppers, making it a wonderful spot to support a good cause while hunting for bargains.”

“Stopped in the store was clean and well kept. The clothes were mostly in the correct spots, so it did make finding things easier. There were 2 cashiers I found Bob (he had a hat with his name on it), not so friendly, which I found disappointing as the lady was extremely nice. I'd give an 8/10 I'd recommend.”

“I can't attest to the shopping experience, but I absolutely love the donation center interactions I have. Every time I donate items, I'm greeted with the friendliest staff. They usually meet me outside with a cart and a helpful smile and the micro conversations are always so pleasant. (They employ a young man that attends Lincoln High School and he is always such a joy to speak with. I, unfortunately, do not know his name. But, he's our favorite employee.)”

“I love shopping at Goodwill bins,my only issue is the little kids. I wish they would do like other bins I have been to and have an age limit, age 16 and up. To many kids running around and in the way. You are either getting run over by kids or trying not to run over them. Makes very frustrating and not so enjoyable.”
