“I like the place overall, but the backroom hard goods.... well, I think they need to get someone else to be in charge of pricing ASAP. Many of the prices are ABOVE what items cost new. I'm guessing that the look up ebay ASKING prices and not what items have actually golf for. Mugs are all like $3-4 each, $5 used candles, generic prints for $40- it's just delusional. Otherwise, the store and staff are fine. They'd move FAR more stuff from the back if the prices were more realistic.”
“Beautiful light displays are set throughout the historic estate grounds (The Bradley Estate). The signage is clear and makes the route easy to follow. The walk through the entire display takes about 40 minutes, so plan accordingly. Restrooms are limited to portable facilities only, so it’s best not to drink too much water beforehand.”
“What a wonderful place. I raised and collected clothing,hygiene products, diapers, formula and shoes for the children and families on the border unfortunately because of COVID I wasn't allowed to come. I heard about Caties Closet and donated all the children and adult clothing what a wonderful thoughtful charity Caties is. Growing up poor i wish I had a place like this. Thank you all for doing what you do❤❤❤❤”

“Just went there yesterday for my 50th birthday celebration and it was great. I have been there in the past and they did a wonderful job with the renovation. Scott the gentleman working was helpful and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here for what ever occasion”
“Awesome. Organized and the activities to have parent engagement is very important and I am impressed in all of the ways they come together and have these activities for the us and the children. The additional services that are provided are necessary in early education and HeadStart does a fabulous job with providing such services! I can go on and on, I’m pleased.”
“This preparation class it was really helpful, I did it 2 days before my test and it was really good to refresh my mind. Took the test next day and was able to pass on journeyman license test !!! Thank you guys.”

“The Brockton Salvation Army is wonderful. They reach out to the whole community with open arms. They care about the community and they go out of their way to care for our children. Our children are our future, they are wonderful kids who have a close relationship with God and the church. My granddaughter is a junior soldier and she's proud to put her uniform on. She signed her "promise" in 2015 which includes "I will not us anything that may injure my body or my mind , including harmful drugs, alcohol and tobacco. They have programs to keep our kids off the streets. I can't say enough about the Savation Army. We love all whom we met in the past 2 years.”
“Just got home from the 100th Anniversary Gala at the Dedham Community House and walking through the front door after not having been there for over 3 DECADES, I was rocketed back to the days of my youth when I spent a great deal of time at D.C.H. The fellowship of the event was palpable and the pride in the principles that D.C.H. encompasses is inspiring. The outgoing director of 15 years, Michelle, introduced the new incoming director, who has decades of experience in non profit programs and knows and understands the missions and goals of Dedham Community House).I went to preschool here and I was both nurtured and gently disciplined so that I could LEARN and the wonderful teachers helped form me into the human being that I am today. I went to Dedham Community House summer camp from age 6 to age 12. I made some of my closest friends during those summers days at camp. I learned teamwork, scheduling and routine, listening to directions, sports, crafts, and empathy and compassion for others. I wouldn't trade those days for anything. It's so wonderful to know that D.C.H. is still a place for children to go to be safe and guided. D.C.H. is an important part of our community and I am sure it will be here and thriving 100 years from now. ???”

“I have been donating platelets for years. I have A- blood and my veins are very deep. This has been a problem my whole life. I go to the Red Cross donation center on Rustcraft Road in Dedham, Massachusetts. I wish I knew the gentleman‘s name, the manager. He’s there all the time and he’s very nice, positive and cheers us on as we sit there donating platelets.
Today, I’m writing mainly because I absolutely love the phlebotomist, her name is Medjine. When I donated over the years, it has been a big deal and a lot of stress preparing myself for draw. I’ve been sent home before because they couldn’t find my veins and after getting all pumped up and prepared mentally to be turned away, has been devastating.
I try to book when Medjine is working. I went today and it was stress free knowing she would be working with me. I had a double successful donation today-in and out quite easily. Thank you!
My friend recently passed away from leukemia and he would go to the Beth Israel for platelets at least three times a week and he would thank me every time and it made me feel really good.”
“Reached out to New England Herpetological Society about finding a new home for our turtles. Spoke to the adoption coordinator and was able to find time this weekend to meet up and drop the turtles off at the animal shelter parking lot. Will definitely follow up to see how the turtles do in the weeks to come. I'm glad that such an organization exists in Massachusetts.
PS Not sure about the previous comment about the drop off being in a dangerous city/location? Not my experience at all. But the fact that the MSPCA recommended them put me at ease.”
“The five stars is for my physical therapist Nancy, my occupational therapist, Marybeth, and my nurse Ginny. They were exceptional if it wasn’t for Nancy I don’t believe that I would be getting around as well as I am unfortunately, I wish I had a few more visits. however the ones in charge think that, even though I still have “profound weakness”in my leg that I’m all set.
Marybeth along with Ginny were nice enough to get a home health aid in to help me out with my personal care, especially with climbing into my shower. Once again those above them thought that this was no longer needed so it was canceled, but I do appreciate the efforts of Nancy, Marybeth and Ginny. Thank you for all you did. Thank you for all your encouragement and getting me to a point where I’m at right now. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to thank some of you in person. However, the rug was pulled out from underneath me before I knew it and without knowing that it was going to happen.
So thank you very much for all your efforts you all deserve 5stars. As far as the way I was spoken to and the lack of compassion I received by Skye RN, Julie supervisor and Elyssa OT I couldn’t and wouldn’t even give them a 1star. As a retired nurse, I believe that once you lose that compassion, you should get out of the profession”
“My son has been attending Quincy’s Headstart program for about two years and has been in two different class-rooms; Both classes we’re awesome. Their communication with parents is outstanding as well as their individualized attention to your child and their needs, if any. My son has some specific needs, due to his disability, and they’ve been extremely helpful and understanding. Please fill out an application or call them- you will not be disappointed!”
“Easy drop off, for donations, in the Southshore area may not take all items donated call in advance if you have any questions friendly staff available to answer questions”
“I was always try to donate to Father Bill’s. There but the Grace of God.
The loveliest people are sometimes those that have been kicked to the ground, but haven’t given up, and God Bless them HAVE GOTTEN UP! Here! Here! to everyone there, but especially to the staff! All the staff, it really takes a Village, and I hope everyone puts at least $010 cents away every day henceforth, until the Christmas Party! They Really deserve it! ??
Today, I had the delight of dealing with someone in Father Bill’s Administrative Office. A Ms. Jill, who could work in a Circus as a Supreme Juggler! A delightfully splendid, gorgeous (albeit on the phone, but how she shined, with a smiling voice)., and how efficient!
She could not have been kinder, and instead of saying: “oh, we don’t take that, click”, this young Lady found me five. (5) other references to be sure someone, anyone could be helped. She certainly is in the right profession! I found out today that MA doesn’t have ONE , not (1) Covenant House?!? I hope there are more Jill’s out there. It’s on my bucket list to change this!
I digress.
Thank you Jill, we need more of you!
Sincerely MMM ???

“Because of the immeasurable kindness and humble intelligence of Dr. Gabriel, Dr. Chang, Dr. Gattereau, and Dr. Rosas. I will always recommend all friends and family to come here. My favorite mentors are at BNHC Dental, and they often treat patients with so much attention, as if they are the only appointments the doctors have that day. Dr. Gabriel recommends the best treatment plans with the patients' interests as the priority and Dr. Gattereau performs root canals flawlessly. Dr. Chang is always smiling, and all docs leave patients feeling so welcomed and cared for. I wish I could give this dental clinic 6/5 stars as opposed to 5!”
“Nice bar, great place to book for parties. Love the Portuguese Feast . June is the feast where they have food, beer and wine and live music. A lot of fun! Especially seeing people you haven't seen in yrs!”
