“Amazing, wonderful and magical staff, they are inspiring just to talk to and interact with, and truelly down to earth and laid back too, they let me slide on a quarter here and there (tho I feel so blessed ive donated some back a time or two hehe)
its the kinda place you really want to take your time, because you can find things you didnt really expect or you can get very much for very little, Im always surprised or finding new things each time I go tho I seem to wander around for an hour it seems at a time,
Ive left with a handful of things many times for only a few dollars and even crayola markers and basic watercolor set lol 😆”
“209 acres of Pacific Northwest ecology tucked between the Coast Fork of the Willamette River and the slopes of Mount Pisgah. Established in 1973, with 7 miles of riverside trails, 23 bridges, riparian meadows, evergreen forest, and a rare preserved oak savanna. Free to enter, $5 Lane County parking fee. Open dawn to dusk every day. Dogs welcome on leash.
The arboretum features at least four outdoor interpretive exhibits and I made a point of visiting each one. The trail network is well maintained and some plants are labeled, which turns a walk into an education whether you intend it to or not. The crowds were thin, just a handful of people, which made the whole place feel like a private nature reserve.
I arrived the day before the annual Wildflower and Music Festival was opening, and the setup was already underway. Worth knowing: when the festival runs, a shuttle is apparently necessary given the crowds. Plan accordingly.
The flat arboretum paths and the rugged mountain trails together create a choose your own adventure park that works for a casual stroll or a serious leg burner. One of the better natural spaces in the Eugene area.”
“Need some tile to do bathroom and kitchen repair. Got enough to get do both jobs for less than $ 60. Not a lot of choices but for a rental unit more than I needed. All new tiles. 😊”

“Love Post 83. We are new members and I can't even express how involved they are with veterans!! Not just locally either. Everyone here is so welcoming. I am a female rider and also joined the riding club, which also holds a lot of events. If you're a veteran and looking for a great group, I HIGHLY recommend American Post 83<<<”
“This is the place to get a used laptop, desktop, etc. for a great price, all cleaned and newly rebuilt. Also this should be your first stop if you need to replace a power supply or cable--they are well-stocked and meticulously organized. Very helpful staff. A great local non-profit that works closely with Lane County recycling infrastructure.”
“This is an unexpected repurpose center. There are some things that are never for sale, things that local artists bring in. However, there's plenty of things for homes that are being repurposed. Such as outdoor lighting, kitchen tile, flooring, doors, toilets. Kitchen sinks. Kitchen sinks. It's definitely worth a look and you can get some really good finds. Even stuff like stained glass windows are available, and even though they're pricey, they're still a good deal. They have senior discounts, you can earn points. I'll always come here first to look for this and that. They take credit cards. They have a good selection of paint for indoor and outdoor. If you can find the color that you need there, it's worth getting the paint from them.”
“The toolbox project is an ideal community service. For expensive tools that you need casually: tree trimmers, hedgers, lawnmowers, and more.

“Exemplary service as well as an invaluable resource in the Southern Willamette Valley. We are blessed to have Nextstep in our community as their impact on our local environment is immeasurable. Thanks for everything you all do!!!”

“This man provides amazing educational and environmentally changing experiences, we should all have the good fortune to partake in. He is an amazing resource. Bee keeping was scary to me. Our family y started keeping bees last year, by accident. A very nice, too-bar bee hive, was donated by a nice neighbor My son and I found, “Free top bar hive!” And a “how-to use it!” book here locally, and being enterprising young fellow(s), decided to put it to use.Brent was able to help us get started. We’ve fallen in love, not with the honey but with the vibes the bees bring us. They immediately awakened our senses to new things in our world and it’s been a great learning experience for my, now 5 year old. He has become more aware of our planet by the bees important, not scary, presence in our lives.If I can review anything, it’s Brent and the Bees. They are a safe and environmentally helpful refuge to any property big enough to safely host them. Thank you!”
“My daughter went here for Preschool. Teachers are very nice and excellent with kids. My daughter loved it there, and her teacher. Her brother gets to go this September.”

“My wife is currently under Dr Abraham’s care, since being under his care I have learned he is the same doctor that she had for a burn injury five years ago. Since this injury and learning new knowledge as a retired 20 year NREMT-I I love learning to help my wife by doing so, physical therapist, Leslie informed me that due to her and Dr Abraham‘s dedication to his patient and his intensity to make sure that he provides the best care to his patients, went so far above and beyond that the protocol for burn patients was actually changed per Workmen’s Comp regulations. They get better treatment options now as a burn patients through Workmen’s Comp than they did prior to Dr Abraham‘s fight for My Wife April.
All of them that work so hard to get the therapeutic protocols in place to help burn patients. it’s absolutely amazing and they need to be recognized for what they did.
Thank YOU sincerely you are all amazing! Phenix A.”
“I had a excellent experience adopting my little girl! Nicole made herself available for any questions I might have after taking the puppy home. You can tell everyone there has alot of love for all the dogs! I would definitely recommend them to everyone.”
“These people are amazing I love the staff here. We got our own place and while we were staying here I seriously met the best employees they were so great to me and my child. I cannot say enough positive things about these people if you ever find yourself in this position and need this kind of help st. Vinny's is the place to go to. I love you guys”
“Truly had a great experience here. The Eugene Mission provides you with all the tools you need to get back on your feet. Primarily, stability. The staff on both the men and womens side are great. Follow the rules, stay sober.
Edit - I just want to share some perspectives. The homeless community is complicated. You see a lot of elderly people end up here because lets be honest, life in America is unfair.
You see a lot of young people here too who are addicted to drugs. I myself deal with an addiction to alcohol. It is a horrendous thing to be adled by drug and alcohol addiction. I just wish it didn't exist.
What I want to say about the Mission is they can be pretty tough love at times. But you have to be tough love in order to see people change. You can't just expect to get a blank pass in life. My wife and I were showed tough love and we needed it, we messed up. But Ben and Julie and everyone around us were doing what they could 100% of the time to try and help us. I thank these people from the bottom of my heart.”
“I recently spent a day at this zoo and came away impressed by the experience. The facility offers an enjoyable blend of education, conservation, and recreation, making it a great destination for visitors of all ages. From the entrance onward, the grounds were well-kept, easy to navigate, and thoughtfully designed to provide good views of the animals while maintaining a comfortable environment for guests.”
