“A tad expensive for a self guided tour but its for a good cause. There were a few items in the gift shop that looked like they may be using AI generated content, which feels wrong for a place honoring the history and origins of an area.
No stars were lost for this, but there were a lot of spiders and wasps, especially in the doctors house. It's an open-air museum in Louisiana in the summer, so that's not a surprise, but you should be aware of it before you go.
Don't think i would go again, but if someone told me they wanted to stretch their legs and see some neat things, I might recommend it.”
“We stopped in here on our way headed west. This was a gem of a store! The lady working there was very friendly and helpful. She has it organized in a way that really makes sense. The painting supplies are in a nook, fiber crafts in their own space, and paper crafts together. I almost didn’t give 5 stars because I didn’t realize the paint brush prices were almost retail and this is a used / donation store. But to be honest, everything else seemed fairly priced. And I can’t say enough about the friendliness of the folks in there. So- 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Good Buys, I love this place. It feel like home. They have good deals on clothes and shoes. The stuff is very nice. Good Buys is the best the price is right.
Thank you ?”
“I always enjoy shopping and browsing at Goodwill stores because they offer job training to people in the community and employment so that the community also benefits and IAM able to donate back to them”
“My favorite place to get inventory. However recently they seem to have the same clothes out for a week. When Marie was there she put them out every day. And there seems to be no shoes anymore. I miss Marie. She was the sweetest. Im not sure where she is - no one seems to know.”
“I was unfortunately placed on house arrest due to a speeding ticket. Dillon thoroughly explained the entire process to me, demonstrating great understanding and accommodating my work schedule. Despite the unfortunate nature of the situation, her patience and support throughout the process made it significantly easier for me to take care of this efficiently.”
“For anybody needing help with food these people are polite they understand that life happens and they don't judge you for it I'd recommend them to anybody”
“The docs didn't think my dad would make the trip from oshner but my dad was always the one to prove people wrong. The hospital didn't bathe him properly but Calcutta made him look like his old self. They gave him his dignity back to where he felt comfortable enough to leave us. They stepped out the room for my mom and I to spend his last breath with him. It was the hardest moment of our life but at least he looked serene and at great eternal peace. I think he knew he felt safe and in good hands with the hospice nurses who were compassionate to us as he passed. Mom and I knew we chose the right place where he was taken care of for his last hour of life. Thank you Hospice of Acadiana Calcutta for taking care of us.”
“This was one of my favorite experiences! I loved every aspect of the job and the volunteer work, and I loved meeting and working with the kind-hearted people along the way. A truly great place to be ?”
“The wonders of what a dream can do ms Brenda's dream for helping pregnant women keep their babies has grown in 25 yrs thank you for obtaining your dreams and beyond all started with one shared office space now look at the progress thank you again”
“Found great prices on Beach Chairs for Vacation, Houseware items for my daughters College Apartment and made a donation from our extras in our home, too. Great experience, especially knowing every dollar spent or donated helps The DesOrmeaux Foundation's Pro-Life Ministry,”
“The store is fine although this site does NOT accept donations. You have to drop off donations nearby at the site on Bertrand Dr. or the one off Congress adjacent to Adrien's grocery store.”
“The nicest of the goodwills in the area. I’ve seen workers actually looking at the clothes to make sure it’s good enough to put out on racks. I’ve found some great things here with original tags still attached!”
“I love what displayed us for people. They help me with my income tax forms and they were awesome especially Miss Irma thank you Smile. I love what you stand for and I love the fact that you’ll help people it’s free!”
“Pretty decent store. Good choices things are moving often. Pretty reasonable prices as well. Would definitely recommend. Plus they have pretty cool/ friendly staff usually.”
