The Salvation Army

For some reason people think this is the thrift shop, that it is not.
I have been a bell ringer twice for the Salvation Army during the holiday season. It’s so wonderful to stand out there and interact with others. It’s some a incredible organization to give to that supports the community in so many ways. This is one of the very few jobs I enjoy doing during the Holiday season. I was touched by some people encouraging stories that people would share with me how the SA helped them out when needed. I remember one time when I was a bell ringer someone deposited a check for $ 500.00 in one of the buckets, that was amazing. This is a truly blessed organization.

Thank GOD for the SA. If it was not for them many more would suffer 134.00 a month a man cant survive on that. They are always nice and friendly hey… who knows you may even see me there sometimes say hi love to meet you because if you there and I am there we in the same boat Show no shame help someone tonight tomorrow just help someone alone your way, if you ask me how I am doing be prepared to be told Salvation Army Clayton Rd thus place helps all who come10 stars you may make a friend and a change.

This Salvation Army is not a thrift shop. It has church on Sundays, a youth service for kids, and a food pantry. It’s a little old fashion and there’s a basketball court by it, but they’re always nice and very helpful.

This is not the thrift store, but the home of The Salvation Army’s social services, and also their church.
Worship services are awesome, the preaching is Bible-​based and God-​centered, and the church members are friendly and welcoming.
11am on Sundays — check it out — you’ll have a great time!

I was in this store recently. It has a fiendly staff and the store is clean. I had been there many times before, but have recently noticed that the store is cleaner and better organized. It has always has a nice selection of furniture and the clothing a nicely organized, not cluttered. It also has a dressing room, which great!

I rarely shop @ thrift stores, but I’ve donated plenty of times. I love how you can schedule a pick up and slightly itemize your donations. Their site also gives you guidelines of what they do and don’t take, and how to price if you’re itemizing. Great!
I’ve heard from friends they find great things here, but everytime I’ve attempted, I never seem to find anything… Allergies act up even before I get to the gritty.

If you need 3 acres of XXL men’s white shirts –perhaps with a company logo from ’02– this is the place. It’s also pretty overrun with tapered pleated jeans and polyester business wear.
Occasionally, it can be worth it. I’ve found some really amusing kids soccer jerseys, and recently I bought a great dresser– that was priced at $ 400 (!!!) and was «on sale» for only 85.
This absurd pricing is also evident in the glass case of Fancy Bags.
Keep in mind this is Concord– they have a fine selection of donated fakie bags– Chanel, Louis, etc. But they try to price them as though they are real… oh. Kinda embarrassing. They have a lot of books, kitchen stuff and various tchochke.
Minus 1 star because it’s a little sad.
