We have businesses where we second hand as much as possible with regular turnover (we do not sell the products, we use them). In the past we spent so much at this store that one time the person ringing us up commented about it. They saw something in the system (connected to our phone number) about our total spent YTD and their eyes got wide, so we explained what we do for our business and that what they could see was just for their location. What I am saying is... we have a pulse on what is a good and fair price for these sort of things. I looked at a couch not to long ago at this location. It was half off. The price was still, with the discount, over $1600. When you pay 0% for your inventory you should not be charging consignment prices. Full stop. It is a poor business choice. The idea is to turn over the inventory because more is coming while passing on a lovely savings to your customers. Not hang on to it while it collects dust because you've out priced the new items being manufactured. Know your customer base and price accordingly. We have left empty handed from this store every single visit this year (2026) because the prices have skyrocketed. For reference, we were looking for a washer and dryer...found one brand new at Lowe's cheaper than this Restore had (used no less). That is why I am writing this review. If the free inventory you receive is higher priced than the brand new inventory from the original store...well...here's your sign. So, we will likely have to drop this store from our rotation because time is precious and we cannot waste trips when we could find a better resource to take its place. That's just how it goes, I guess, but it saddens us because we like to support good causes and keep things out of the dump.

We have tried twice now to donate items to the Redmond Habitat store. Twice now they have turned…read moreaway our items, being rude both times. The second time I rang the bell as it says to do for an attendant. A man came out of the office yelling, "Who rang the bell!". He saw me standing behind the fence and very rudely said, "We're closed to donations because we're having computer issues". Stunned I said to my husband How should computer issues affect excepting donations? He told me to get in the vehicle that we were done with Habitat. It breaks my heart because I have always donated to good community causes. We gave our donations to Goodwill who accepted them with a smile and a Thank you.

I worked at Countryside for a while, and I also had a friend who worked at Thelma's Place. We both…read moreended up quitting for many reasons. One of my biggest concerns was how situations with residents were handled. I had an experience with a resident and when I went to my manager about it, I was told it was my fault. I thought that was very unprofessional--especially since if I had actually done something wrong, I would've been written up or gotten in trouble. Another major issue was the cleanliness upstairs where Thelma's Place is. Me and a coworker discovered how unsanitary it was. We even found mold growing inside the kids' water bottles, which the kids were actively drinking from. When I asked my coworker if we should say something, she told me she already had--and that management didn't care. To make things worse, I was told one of the manager's daughters is the boss of Thelma's Place, so nothing gets addressed. I had multiple pictures of the mold in those cups. Please, please, PLEASE check your children's water bottles and belongings if they go here. Staff was only scheduled to clean upstairs once a week, meaning water sat in the cups for days at a time. Parents deserve to know what's really going on. They treated their staff terribly too, they had fired a kid and went around telling everyone he was "worthless"..

As a caregiving assistant to one of the participants in Thelma's Place Day Respite Center, I have…read morewitnessed the most supportive and integrative approach by staff to help seniors (with and without disabilities) engage in the community, as well as engage with children in the intergenerational program. Seeing how the seniors interact with the children of the new intergenerational child care program has been humbling to witness. Thelma's Place participants engage in activities that stimulate memory and physical movement, as well as community integration that involves field trips to places like the high desert museum, the library, breweries, farms, and more. I would recommend both seniors and children to participate in Thelma's Place Day Respite Center and Whoopsy Daisy Child Care because there are so many opportunities for the young and the old to build understanding and meaningful relationships that encourage positive development for all participants.

I cannot say enough good things about COVO and the team, the work they do and the impact that they…read morehave on the community at large. In my time with the Red Cross I was blessed to get to know COVO a bit and had a deep appreciation for the care they put into the community and our veterans. Serving those who have served is something that I feel is of the utmost importance and something everyone should take part in. COVO offers outreach where they help supply food and clothing to veterans in need as well as housing services to provide shelter where they can. You can donate both food and clothing to COVO as well as fiscal donations, I encourage you to do one or the other. Your resources will not be wasted here as they are as fiscally responsible an outfit as I have seen. You can also volunteer and I encourage you to do so. Give back to the ones who gave, our veterans deserve that.

They practice "spacious Christianity:" they are Biblical, but you are free to ask questions without being judged for having them and ALL are welcome. They live out the love of Jesus Christ to everyone to amazing ministries and community outreach. They have an emphasis on underserved populations or the marginalized, but there are ministries for all different types of things. They have or have had an art ministry, an end of life ministry, they open the church doors to homeless when the overflow shelters are full, there's a group that cooks at Bethlehem Inn, and too many other things to list. (Some are constant and some change throughoit the year). I hope you get a chance to visit in person, watch their TV service or listen to a sermon online.
