“I did research and found Advantage Credit and was very relieved I did. My debt was growing due to interest rates going up I needed help. From my first interaction the staff was kind. They are very responsive to any question or issue I had. I felt comfortable communicating with them They never made me feel bad. I would recommend their services, I contacted them both via email and phone and got quick answers for any issue.”

It was passed on to the tax preparer. Who got it done in less than 30 minutes. I was amazed. They know their stuff and check each other's work. Awesome people and friendly ?☺️ Thank you all!!! ☺️”
“Creative Reuse is my favorite place on Earth. It is SO easy to find tons of strange, interesting and rare items here that one otherwise wouldn't be able to find elsewhere! I go almost every month to stock up on random cassette tapes to see what's on them (some great indie music finds here if you dig around), newspaper clippings and as many vintage Pittsburgh magnets possible. If you like crafts and unconventional decorations, this place is definitely for you!
Also, everyone that works here is super nice and the prices are usually super reasonable. Every bad review saying otherwise has either never stepped foot in Creative Reuse or are people who don't believe retail employees deserve respect. This is a store that should never go away!”
“Coming from someone who runs a lot of marathons across the US, the Pittsburgh Marathon is by far the most organized, the most entertaining, and has the best course. The live music, cheering sections, and route that allows for family/friends to watch from multiple places throughout the race really makes this event awesome!”
“We booked a fishing adventure for my son's 12th birthday. They handled all the arrangements and Sara was so patient answering my millions of questions. On the day-of, Mel and Dan were friendly, helpful and communicative. They brought everything we needed for my son and his 7 friends to enjoy fishing for a few hours. The location in North Park was beautiful and perfect. It was even wheelchair accessible for our friend who had a broken leg. Thank you Venture Outdoors for a memory my son won't soon forget!”
“Attended a roof top wedding which was wonderful! The Center Office Staff was fantastic & worked diligently to accommodate everyone. Thank you so much & keep up the great work”

“Their staff are very knowledgeable. My child has grown as a musician. Mr. Howie Alexander is amazing. Dr. J, the owner, is very approachable and concerned about the overall musicianship and well-being of the children”
“Fantastic organization in the Pitt area. I volunteered doing home deliveries and it's super organized! The app is great too. A great way to give back to our local community by providing food to people in need and combating food waste.”

“Called them for assistance with my brother’s recent vision loss. They returned my call in 3 days and were very helpful to assist. They said a staff member would call us back to set up a home visit!”
“I was able to share the gift of life with several people from the passing of my greatest love, Kim Monroe Kosmack. I signed up to be an organ donor on September 3rd of 2023 because of Kim and her generous gift.”
“Went to the Center for hearing and deaf to purchase some Hearing devices for a client. The worker was very nice and answered my questions, she alerted that they had resources to help people in need. Then showed me how to use the devices so I can assist my client how to use them. Very informative and helpful. Very nice experience.”
“Rebuilding did our energy audit. They were very knowledgeable and professional. My Sound Home Plan is guiding me through all the improvements I need to make to have a more comfortable and cheaper home! Lucy even took extra time to talk to me about solar, HVAC and heat pump options.”
“Asked for a nuclear bomb, received a dented bomb casing full of pinball machine parts. Can no longer perform act of terrorism, but on the other hand now I can play PIN-BOT in prison. A++++”
“They don't take my insurance so they provide me FREE COUNSELING, with someone who is going for a higher degree and doing clinicals or something to that effect. What ever it is and however it works out its good. I get counseling once a week online. And this is the most comfortable I've been with a counselor in years. It's way better than alot of places my insurance paid for. And the staff are very nice and helpful and supportive.”
“I Went to give blood at a drive so I only saw what I think would normally be a conference room. But I know they have drives there frequently so this may help.I was able to park in the lot between the Red Cross building and Guardian Storage. If you walk behind the building you'll come to some steps that lead up to a courtyard.Cross the yard to the sidewalk and follow it left into where the building makes a U shape. There's a door on the right (ignore it) and a little further along there's a door to the left that lets you in near where blood donation is done.A left once you're inside will take you to the blood donation room.”
“This place has really expanded. I remember when they started out in the Warner Center. They have everything you need to get you ready for a interview, first day on the Job. They're Awesome!!! Leora was a joy.”

“I do not even know where to begin about how pleased I am with the day school. My son has improved so much in so many years coming to the school. The dedication with every area of the school is amazing. I am highly recommending anyone that qualifies for this excellent care.”
“For those that have never gifted their time then they may not understand, but more so for those that have been on the receiving end of this organization, feel like they could never repay the greatness that is Ronald McDonald house. For years we have donated time and energy for those in need.
Imagine waking up as any normal day, for a few hours in your child needs to be life flighted hours away and you are told get in or drive. No chance to grab your wallet, a change of clothes or possibly even your phone to reach out to those that might be able to help. You arrive at children's hospital as quick as humanly possible, your child is rushed into life saving surgery, told they will be in the hospital for weeks. Your family doesn't have reserve funds to pay for a hotel, and the RMH reaches out because a case worker called them. They can provide you with basic help, in a time of more need then you have ever experienced they will give you that glimmer of hope, that glimmer that someone still cares and has your back.
That was the story the team I was with was told as we served dinner. We simply made food and dropped goody bags with basic essentials for those in need. The woman shared her child had contracted swine flu, not during its peak scare, not when there was ever a concern, or even a warning sign. The child lived in a rural area near Erie pa. He went to play with friends, and dropped over playing catch with 2 other friends. Nobody knew why, he left in the morning without even sniffle to go play, 3 hours later he was slow hed over barely able to breathe.
Children's Hospital saved that child's life, and Ronald McDonald House saved that family. The mother stayed with him for weeks, she couldn't spend time with him without being owned from head to toe, no time to plan housing or even grab a wallet to buy food but she arrived 3 hours from home and never left. That was totally made possible by RMH and those that donate time, and money to help feed those staying there.”
“This place is a gem. Polite staff and great facilities. The gym is a bit outdated and definitely doesn't have everything you need but you can still get a workout in. The pool is terrific and the basketball court is a huge plus.”
“I frequent this store as it’s convenient to me. The staff is always super friendly, though the store is small, selection minimal, and prices on the higher end. That being said! I’ve found some really cool pieces here, so I recommend checking it out if you’re nearby.”
“Dr. Meredith Zebrowski is absolutely wonderful. We had struggled for a while to get our daughter help and she was able to confirm her autism diagnosis for us, so we can begin getting her the help & access to resources that she needs. She's also just been very responsive post-diagnosis and quickly responds to emails. The whole process of dealing with different providers / organizations is quite frustrating and Dr. Meredith has been an absolute God-send when it comes to the providers we've seen. Highly recommend seeing her if you feel your child may have Autism and is struggling verbally, socially, & emotionally.”
“I was a milk donor and the staff was very friendly and communicative. They took time to explain the process and answer amy questions. If I could donate again I would def do it. But for now I will donate in other means. I love the cause.”
“My boyfriend and I found Fur All Kittys on Wagtopia and drove all the way from DC to pickup our kitten, Jack!
Brandi helped us and was absolutely AMAZING during our adoption process! It was so clear to us just how much Brandi and all the other shelter members care about the animals. True hearts of gold! The process was quick while also thorough to ensure the best fit for everyone involved. I could not recommend this place more and truly admire the work these amazing individuals do for our furry friends! Words can't describe how much we love our little kitten!”
