Unfortunately I tried to donate Saturday and went out of my way to support the cause. However NO Donation was accepted 😹. I shared I had gone out of my way, but the cashier indicated All Donations are ONLY accepted on certain days. My recommendation to PAWS is to post on website and outside signage WHEN Donations are accepted. And YES, the cashier AGREED there are many Other organizations that need GREAT items... I moved on with my donations....

Absolutely garbage. The old white lady, who wouldn't give me her name, who also said she was owner of this place, decided it was MY fault I overheard her being racist about me. She told the other worker that she "wasn't even sure that lady didn't walk out with something." There were only 4 people in at the time, 3 who were together and myself. So I confronted her and told her she'll get none of my business if she feels that way and I walked out. She then FOLLOWED me to my car and tried to tell me that she couldn't be racist because she has "several close native American friends." Could not make this up, folks. I'm not even indigenous! Racist. Also, said some gibberish about me never having worked retail, when that has been most of my adult work experience. This is relevant because she thinks that because she works retail she instinctively knows who will steal. I.E. RACIST. Despite my car being in gear and me trying to leave she refused to let me leave. After a could of minutes she finally got out of the way so I could leave. I don't recommend AT ALL.

Cute little thrift store! They have a backroom, so it is much larger than it appears from the outside. I really appreciate that all of the items are labeled "it works" or "it works we tested it" unlike when you go to the corporate, giant thrift stores like Savers. The women working were also super kind! We told them dimensions of the picture frame we were looking for and they went around the store helping us to look until we found the perfect one.

The racial comments and the no children are off putting. I won't visit this place again. There's no reason for owners/ workers to behave like that. I had a iffy experience once before and now seeing these posts it comfort my previous suspensions. There's no excuse for being racists!

They had a lot of costume jewelry there I asked to look at 1 piece that was in the case and the lady took them and said and said they belong to somebody else that she forgot to charge them for but yet they were put back in the case and she would not sell them to me. Not good customer service at all very unhappy

The owner and husband were not very nice and very inconsiderate when I went to Donate at least a $1,000.00 worth of tools, clothes, and misc hardware. They said they could not take donations(said had no room)They said they would give a phone number and to call and come back at a later date. I was at the door with the load, the man said he would look thru the tools to see what he wanted. Are you kidding me? I left not happy and will never go back. I can not believe what I just went Thru. A good donation and they would not take it!!!!!! **************
