“Wonderful finds here! It's also nice to learn that a fellow disciple of Jesus has successfully created this safe shopping space and place of employment for those returning from complex journeys. May our God in Heaven be glorified forever and ever!”
“I needed some bigger clothes for the end of my pregnancy and did not want to spend a ton. This store has by far the best prices after going to many other thrift shops (salvation army, savers, goodwill, etc.). The place was well organized and they had employees going through regularly to hang up items others drop. I had a very nice experience here! I got 6 large, comfy sweaters for under $30 ??”
“Thank you to the friendly staff!
There’s a wide variety of items that come and go quickly, so if you like it, buy it.
You get a great deal AND, (the best part) you’re helping others at the same time 🙏🏼🌻”
“The best thrift store in town! Well-organized and always has a great selection. I found a barely-worn designer dress for a fraction of the retail price. Love that the proceeds support a good cause.”
“Dorchester Art Project has been serving the community for years. This is the best place for local artists! Rent their theater out for cool underground music shows or check out their awesome studio spaces Make sure to go to a gallery show or see a local band play and support local artists!”

“Closet Connection is one of my favorite places to shop. The owner is absolutely amazing and has helped me find several incredible gifts for my wife through her personal shopping recommendations. Every single time I come in, I walk out with something she loves, it never fails.
The selection is fantastic, with beautiful, unique pieces you don’t find anywhere else, and everything is in great condition. What really sets this store apart is the personalized service. The owner genuinely takes the time to understand what you’re looking for and makes shopping easy and enjoyable.
I can’t recommend Closet Connection enough if you’re looking for great finds and exceptional customer service.”
“This is an awesome spot to visit on the weekend. Cheap prices, funky items, something for everyone. Cash/venmo only. I think on Saturdays they do a fiber arts circle of some sort, which is really cool. I've found some of my favorite pieces here over the past couple of years.”
“I find the most awesome clothes for my toddler girl here. The clothing quality and selection is amazing. I’ll always leave with something that ends up being a huge hit with our daughter, like her giraffe costume, pop up book, cute shoes, etc. Thank you Growing Up!!!”
“Open since 1978 with only 9 reviews? They deserve more! I can't believe I haven't visited sooner. This is a HUGE church thrift store with super affordable prices. They were having a half-off clothing sale so shirts that were already only $4 were $2! Some t-shirts were 50 cents. I got some blank t-shirts, wool vest, wool Eddie Bauer sweater, some LL Bean button downs, and a couple nice pewter candlesticks for only $40 total. I passed on a couple beautiful things there like a long wool Calvin Klein coat and Coach purse that were a steal. They have lots of housewares and craft items but unfortunately not many books or records. Their hours are limited but it's a must-stop if you're into thrifting. Such a better experience (and better prices) and Goodwill or Salvation Army plus all proceeds benefit the church.”
“Very nice little shop. It's small, but not overly cluttered. It has a lot if neat knick knacks and antiques, as well as some newer stuff. It also feels like everything was in good condition, not just old junk someone doesn't want. Pricing was reasonable. The lady running the place was friendly when I asked questions. They have a punch card where if you buy enough stuff, you get a coupon for a future purchase, which is pretty neat in my opinion. Definitely worth a stop by if you're in the area!”
“I love this place, the staff is great, the clothing is organized by sizing, color.
I will have one complaint: if you’ll open the bathroom for the public some will spend more time and more money in the store.”
“A rather well organized store… The toys/books section is quite huge compared to other locations I had visited. I have to say some jackets are quite expensive like $30 a piece which isn’t really justified - they look like 1950s jackets but were in fact made in the 70s or later…”
“The salvation army in Central square in Cambridge on Massachusetts avenue health helped a lot of people throughout the long years that they have been there in that location. I have never stayed there overnight but I have occasionally had need of a shower which they were able to accommodate and a meal from time and time and a couple times during my laundry when I didn't have any money to do them,, don't let your pride get in the way of getting some help from a place like salvation army!! You need to call at 6:00 a.m. the same day to reserve a bed if they have any if you need a place to sleep for the night. If you're going to be staying there I recommend trying to get a bed as close as possible to staff as possible, do not have any loose belongings on you when you go there as they might get stolen, if we have something of value keep it under your shirt or coat or sweater and tie it to you securely before you go to sleep..”
“The second best used/ vintage thrift store in JP next to Boomerangs. This thrift store is huge. Clothing, furniture, housewares. Its all good. Some not so good. Dig deep, there is a lot here. Most of the workers do not speak English, but its all part of the charm. I have found some cool shirts here for nearly nothing. It is for a great cause: The Pine Street Inn charity.”
“This store has all the up to date gadgets. That's if you luck up and find them.
You will be glad you came here. Wanna shout out to a particular manager here,
She's tall with pretty long black curly hair . She is such a very sweet gentle soul.”

“I have mixed feelings about this place. Prices are on the higher side for a thrift store but they do have 25% off days (for clothes, household stuff, etc.) so you just have to keep that in mind to make the most of your bargains. On occasion one can find a great deal - like an Aerogarden for $5. Items are well labeled. Store is clean and well organized. Staff is polite. Not enough parking. Nice neighborhood and clientelle is polite.”

“I recommend shopping at Salvation Army. The store always cheaper. For example, you can buy the t-shirt at $3 or $5. You can buy beautiful clothes and furnitures. Also, the customer service is friendly and helpful.The store is near my house. I can take the bus. For these reasons, you should shop at Salvation Army. You get the best value for your money there.”
“Years back closer to when this location opened they had the worst manager working, absolutely rotten lady. She’s long gone and now this place has the best employees I’ve seen at a goodwill. Not sure what other people’s reviews are on about ! I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the workers there, they have all been outwardly nice and friendly every time I go, at worst a couple are neutral and probably just tired. More than reasonable. Absolutely the friendliest group I’ve encountered at any goodwill ! Good vibes
I’m not huge on goodwills vs other thrifts but this one is my very favorite and in my opinion the best place HP has to offer. Sooo happy I can walk here and almost always find something good.”
“You have to be the best when you have Montea on the team!! Thank you so much for all your help and patience yesterday (and please accept my apologies for not getting your beautiful name right-i have the memory of a rock! I am referring to the beautiful young lady who looks like a model!”
“This Goodwill is my go-to. They have excellent quality control, cleanliness, and very friendly folks working there.
Goodwill’s new “no changing rooms” policy post-Covid is a bummer. Wear a tank top and leggings and they don’t mind if you try things on over your base layers.”
“this Goodwill is on the slightly smaller side size-wise, but is very clean and has a nice selection of clothes. Good prices, takes credit card, and employees are nice. has fitting rooms but were closed when i went.”
“I always do seasonal closet clean outs and sell here. Amazing, friendly staff. I always walk away with a decent pay out or good items from store credit swap. I recommend this location!!”

“I was on a trip to Saugus for a bit and decided to stop by this Savers location. Unlike a Value Village, this Savers actually had restrooms. I appreciate the customer service for letting me know over the phone. The inside was also nice and checkout was quick and simple. Would recommend going here again.”
“The workers at the front desk thing were very sweet and held onto some crystal glasses for me while I continued to shop so they didn't break and no one else took them. Also they had a couple prom dresses and a lovely black short flowly dress that I loved but was to small so go snag those quick :D. Also to the person who came in with her daughter that couldn't use the bathroom, you should have checked if they had bathrooms in the first place and second there is a pet store with a bathroom RIGHT NEXT TO IT, that might have been your own fault”
“I love the store they've got two floors of great stuff I've been in there three times once with two other people and someone and then with me and one other gentleman they have a great selection they take their time to explain the items and they should stay in business as a very long time.”
“I just love this store...
And let me tell ya this place is hoppin on most days ..
I like it because you can come across some really fantastic finds , great prices,
And ...they also have these bins in the back of the store where u can go through them and buy things for even cheaper but it's not in the store it's like down and around the building a little.. ask for the Warehouse with the bins.
Thank you to the staff to...
Definitely check it out...”

“This is such a well curated store; it's always fun to go in. Prices can be on the high side but if you're looking for really memorable, unique pieces, it's a great stop. On this most recent visit we got excellent styling help from June. Her recs helped us build a killer outfit on a tough theme!”
“I like shopping at thrift stores and do that whenever I can, to help a good cause, help the planet, find one-of-a-kind pieces, save money, too, and also that I can feel brave enough when altering some clothing pieces to best fit me, while I am not a professional tailor, knowing that the financial risk is not a lot. Recently, during a family trip to Boston, having about an hour to spare before the hotel check-in, I thought to enter this Goodwill and I was extremely pleasantly surprised! Not only did I find very nice, high-quality pieces in excellent condition, at a great price, but the selection was plentiful. This place has quickly become one of my favorites, although it is not close-by and I might not be able to go again. Thank you!”
