Salvation Army Hayward Corps

I made an appointment to have matching set of living room furniture picked up. I wanted to make a donation of slightly used furniture. The rep called the morning of my pickup and said due to employees not coming to work no pick up could be made. What an irresponsible and unprofessional service. I got the run around about trying to make another appointment. It appears this SA is poorly run and does not need quality donations. I tried the service after seeing an ad and would not recommend it to anyone seriously trying to make a difference and donate to charity. Total disappointment.

I can’t really review this place as a «client» per say, but I am currently serving community service here due to a red light traffic violation. So I can speak on that…
I selected this place as I’ve always heard good things about the Salvation Army in General. As I was looking down the court approved list of places I could fulfill my community service obligation, Salvation Army turned out to not only be the closest to here I lived, but also the most memorable.
I didn’t know what to expect when I started here. All I knew was I had to serve 44 hours by November. The type of work I ended up doing was basic janitorial stuff like moving things around, mopping, taking out the trash, etc. On certain days I had the pleasure of helping the needy carry donated goods to their vehicles or carts. Before that I also assisted with preparing big bags of presorted goods fir handouts on the next days.
Even though this was for community service I still felt that the time I served (& am still currently serving) was rewarding as it felt great to be supporting a good cause. The staff workers here are truly committed to helping others and their attitudes definitely show it! If you get stuck with community service or just want to volunteer your time, simply give them a call as this is a great place to help out!
