“Loads of variety and healthy stock. All native plants. Well organized. Knowledgeable staff and friendly volunteers. All profits support Blue Water Baltimore, a local environmental advocacy organization.”
“Found the Irvine Nature Center while looking for something fun to do. So glad we found it! This is a must for anyone it is great for kids too. There are so many things to see and explore. It is definitely an educational experience for both the novice and pro outsider! There are lots of trails, through the woods, meadows and wetlands. You never know what you will find. Make sure to visit the aviary and see the birds of prey. We will definitely be back! The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.”
“They are a true gem in our community! Not only do they provide top-notch Russian language and cultural education, but they also offer a wide range of additional language options and engaging activities. The staff is incredibly professional, welcoming, and understanding, creating a warm and supportive environment for learners. Highly recommend!””
“My family and I had an excellent experience at ReStore with Cherrie helping us. She was so kind and knowledgeable. She made the experience quick and easy and she was so sweet to my nonverbal daughter. I will definitely shop there again.”
“New building is an almost exact replica of Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, NY. This is, if I’m not mistaken, the 33rd replica of 770 to be built.”
“If the outside is this amazing and awesome, the inside must be even more amazing!!!! We strolled Mt. Washington and walked by Baltimore Clayworks. We are a family that loves to do pottery. We will be back to take a class!!!”
“This Goodwill is alright. Organized and the employees are very nice. I never really find clothes or shoes I like but the glassware section is usually good. The only issue I have with this store is that there’s no dressing rooms and they close the donation center area before closing time. It says 7pm Mon-Fri, but there’s been a few times I’ve arrived at 6:45 with just a small bag and the door was closed and locked. I get closing/not accepting donations maybe a few minutes early, but not a whole 15min early. Other than that, it’s an alright Goodwill store!”
“Honestly, I think this program saved my life. In 2023, I was in a deep depress. It seemed like all that could go wrong in my life, did. I had recently began experiencing terrible back pain around age 23, which was devastating. I lost my job. I felt alone. I didn’t have any motivation, drive, or interest to live. My home life was really unhappy and my past trauma was weighing me down. I felt like my outpatient program providers were failing me.
When I saw TALMAR on TikTok, it really stood out to me, which was rare. Nothing else could really do that at the time, so this is saying something. I reached out. I would work with an occupational therapist during my visits. The OT would find accommodations for me with my back pain which really made me feel seen. There was a sensory garden that I could help water. It was beautiful, my favorite plant there was lamb’s ear Sage. Also, I got to try growing plants at home (cherry tomatoes, big boy tomatoes, and celosia) and it really gave me pride and confidence. Meanwhile, when I visited, I would help water and care for plants like strawberries (the best ones I’ve ever tasted) and kale (which is now a food I love to make and eat). It was so nice to feel like I was in my own body again. It was so nice to be outside and appreciate the beautiful nature around me. It was healing to feel like part of something. And I felt some accountability and like the plants depended on me. Seeing the chickens brought me joy. This was a really positive experience for me that got me out of a really dark time. I would recommend this to everyone. Even if someone is generally okay but just needed to get out of the house, or to feel like they have accomplished a meaningful task.”
“Cheder Chabad is a wonderful and warm school all the way from preschool through their elementary school. I have been able to know them both professionally from providing Speech and occupational therapy services to children in the school and personally from my own children and would highly recommend them. The Rebbe's and Morahs are warm, collaborative, and caring and have been wonderful to work with on all accounts.”
“This building is pretty easy to spot from the road. There are designated parking spaces in front of the building that are expressly for donors. As I entered the building, I was immediately greeted by the security guard. After checking my identification, he directed me to the donation room. As I entered the donation area, I was once again, immediately greeted. Each person with which I interacted was VERY professional and courteous. I was seen almost immediately (in advance of my appointment time). The technician that took care of me (Ms. S) was one of the fastest and most polite people I have ever had the fortune with which to work (not that I did much). Her donation stick was painless and fast. She explained each step of the process and what to do and expect post donation. The 'recovery' canteen was bountiful. I took in my share of cookies and juices. Upon my departure, I was thanked again and given a t-shirt.”
“The JCS staff are committed to excellence in all aspects of service, ranging from in-home care, to mental health care, to career guidance. The outstanding services provided are available to all members of the community, Jewish and non-Jewish.”
“Everybody at chimes, from top management staffs to the frontline staffs, do performs their duties efficiently to ensure better lives for individuals with developmental disabilities. Kudos!”
“What a process it was but they held my hand through it all. Very communicative, respectful and understanding. I have been in my beautiful home for almost a year now and I couldn’t have done it without the help of this place. I will forever be grateful for each and every resource that they’ve provide and helped with. Thank you PEP!!”
“I liked this location a lot better than the Reisterstown store. It is much smaller, but seemed to have more of a selection and much better prices. The parking lot is horrible and is tight. The staff were so nice and attentive to customers. Without even being asked, the gentleman who rang me up gave me their rewards card, so I could get discounts when I shop at this franchises stores again. I thought that was fantastic and excellent customer service. I wish I knew his name so he could be recognized.”
“God bless this place and the people. For when I was in need, they helped me recover and refocus. All while still caring for my children. I can’t thank you enough. I recommend any mom with kids in that situation to seek their help.”
“I had the pleasure of speaking with Mary Stembler who was the woman in charge. She got me set up with everything I needed to do to be adopted for Christmas since we lost my husband and my daughters father! She gave me so much information on things they do and what they could help with! She is an amazing woman and we are blessed to have her in our corner helping us thru a most difficult time! There are no words I could say that shows just what she meant to us and what she has done for us! Thank you Mary, The Arc, and the company who adopted us for this unbelievable blessing! We are forever grateful ? ?❤?”
