“I changed careers and just decided to go to the Goodwill because I heard that they really did have a lot of nice things that sometimes were brand new. I found mini items that were in new or like new condition if you are changing careers and need a new wardrobe, this might be the place to go if you don’t want to spend a lot of dough$”

“I've never donated blood before, so coming in I was quite nervous, but the ladies here did a wonderful job at making me feel comfortable.Mary helped me through the check-in process, answered all of my questions, and was very friendly. She assured me I was in good hands, and not to worry about anything.Once i went back to the donor area, they had plenty of goodies to keep my energy and hydration up while I waited. My wife was allowed to come back with me to the waiting area as well, and although she wasn't able to donate due to being anemic, they treated her with the same kindness as me.After waiting just a few minutes, my donor tech Joana called me back. She explained everything throughly, brought me some ice packs to keep my neck cool, and went over her experiences as a tech. I was very surprised at how well she performed the venipuncture since she had only been doing it for 2 years, and with this being her first job as a phlebotomy tech. I've had seasoned nurses stick me with 18 gauge needles where I almost passed out from the pain, but Joana was a pro, because I didn't feel it at all!As a seasoned phlebotomist and emt, I have to give this place cred, because it was the cleanest, most professional experience I've had in a while. As for the donation, I did feel a little weak afterwards, but they made sure I was safe, and that I sit for a while to rehydrate before leaving. I also had a small knot on my arm after I left, but I typically do that with larger bore needles, and it went away after using an ice pack. Overall it was a great experience, and I get to save a life in the process! I will definitely be back when my next appointment is due.”

“They always need more plastic bags than they have so if you have the large size (bigger than standard grocery bags) please donate them. I don't mean the nice reusable ones, I mean like regular plastic for them to use at the register.
Always get good deals on second hand furniture here”

“I had a really great experience at this dental clinic. I originally came in because I was having pain and wanted to get my teeth checked. They did my X-rays for a very reasonable price, which I really appreciated.

The staff was very kind, patient, and professional from the moment I walked in. They explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I ended up getting my wisdom teeth taken care of and the whole process was much less stressful than I expected.

The prices are fair and the team is honest and helpful. I’m very grateful for the care I received and I’ll definitely be coming back here for my cleaning and future dental work. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a caring and affordable dental clinic.”

“Kinda hard to find. They need a sign or something. If you're looking for it it's in the building with the United Way. The ladies working were very friendly and helpful. They greeted us before we were even through the door.”

“My daughter’s therapist is amazing! She has made such an impact in both our lives. It’s the first therapist of many that my daughter was able to connect with. Going to therapy used to be a chore and now it’s something she looks forward to. We are very blessed to have found her.”

“We go to our local Goodwill every couple of months to pick up movies, music and anything else we see that’s interesting. It’s a nice change from shopping at full retail price and we appreciate that it helps people find work.”

“I had a great experience with them. I had no idea who to turn to when DV happened to me and my daughter. We received counseling & while I was hoping for legal services as well the office is a little disorganized and never heard anything back after following up many times which is why I have 4 stars instead of 5. But if you’re someone in need they do their best to help you.”

“I don't know why goodwill all of a sudden feels that they have a reason to charge $10 and up for clothing! Everything is donated. There's nothing brand new in there. And actually, some of the stuff look pretty sad like it shouldn't.I've even been on the shelf. I guess the millionaire that has this place. Try to make you feel good because he's given people jobs but they're not even making minimum wage.So good for him, he's found cheap labor. I'd rather donate my stuff and go to mom and pops.The smaller area shops. The place where I volunteer we charge$3 for tops and or pants. Because again, after we paid the rent and utilities, the rest of the money. Goes to feed people help people out. Which is what goodwill should be doing? Not giving that guy millionaire status.”
