Dropped off donations early on a Saturday Morning and decided to check out the inside too. I was…read morepleasantly surprised with just how clean and well stocked it was. I like that they have "grab bags" at the front with small items (bundles of greeting cards, sewing supplies, kids toys), this is a great way to reduce waste and put donations to good use! Hearing the staff interact with the customers and each other is part of what inspired me to leave a review. I heard one staff member run to the back to compliment another on how they organized a section of the store. We were also greeted at the door, and talked to by various staff while walking around the store. Great work Ivy City Goodwill!

She asked if I wanted you guys to make the appointment I agreed and was handed a card that said 05/20/24 @ 10 a.m. and given a referral. I show up yesterday and they say the referral is only to have my mole looked at and that doctor is only in on Thursdays. I go to BFC to inquire why I just took a day off to show up for an appointment BFC made only to find it was made incorrectly and a woman says that she does not know why but will call Howard to verify there was an appointment? She acts like I should stay there and wait while they figure out how they just cost me money. I told her she could call me but I had already wasted enough time and money on BFC's ineptitude. That was at 11 a.m. yesterday. I received no call, no explanation, no lame apology, absolutely nothing. You are messing with my health AND money. How would YOU feel about that?

I am 100% sure they kidnapped my cat from my community and hostage her for donation and selling as a business rather than a non profit organization. Pure intention matters! I have donated to multiple organizations monthly base, raising fund for good purpose, money is not a problem for me. However, I don't want to reward bad behaviors. The missing time for my cat and the one they posted online matches and the very detailed stripes pattern matches. It's questionable that one employee said she from North Carolina, another one said she from West Virginia. I have my cat since she was born, I can recognize this cat from eye contact. Well, if you know your children, you know them by the spirit, right? I sent them many details to JUST take a look, they refused. It's not built to help ppl or animals at all. I will show how my cat look like and how sick she is now in their foster home. I'm deeply saddened and worried about her. She is territorial as a cat does. She has been a happy cat in her own home, wtf they think this is a rescue. Now I have to either kiss their ass or be assertive to fight against this negativity just to get her rescued from these horrible ppl. F that! If they don't practice as ethical as it should be, this is a big big issue! I put the photos of how my cat looked before and how she looks now in their foster homes(one with name caption) I am seriously furious and frustrated about this. If they couldn't give me an explanation why they made it so difficult to meet the cat. I have to say I will use my popularity and influence to the extreme to make things right!!!

If you're looking for a suggestion on where to bring your elderly family member who is in dire need…read moreof housing, I would recommend Little Sisters of the Poor. Although run by Catholic nuns, this organization welcomes those of all faiths and makes it easy for them to practice their own beliefs freely. Most nursing homes smell bad. There I said it. But I will vouch that this location is so clean and has no hint that is even a nursing home. If you are looking for a place to volunteer, I would highly recommend lending your time here. The volunteer coordinator is super nice and will find a volunteer duty that can fit anyone's needs. I bring my dog in for visits. They need everyone from people to serve food, to working in the nail salon, to just visiting with the residents. Perhaps you just want to give some money as your time is more valuable? GIVE HERE. I promise you that every dollar and/or donation you give is used properly. There is no mismanagement of funds. I am very happy to have found such a wonderful organization to lend my time to. It's truly rewarding.

Dear sir/ma'am, I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed…read moreI am with the service of Feral Friends Networks, Atlanta, GA. I have practically begged for help for two mother feral cats and their kittens. Not to mention the other feral cats that are around my neighborhood. It is so horrible that your services advertise to help cats and requests donations but when it comes down to it, no services are provided to these poor animals.  I contacted every single person on your list that you provided and only one person was willingly to suggest that I do the work that I'm asking the exact help for. I ask why then do you advertise that there are services for these poor feral cats when there are none? Why do we bother donating to your organization when the time comes to aid these animals no service is provided? I am appalled at how each and every person on the Feral Friends Network in Atlanta, GA. did not come to the aid of these poor feral cats when they claim they will, yet ask for donations, and advocate to do good works for these poor animals. There was only one person, that is so sad, these actions are beyond disturbing. This is just horrible to request for donations and claim to aid feral cats but when the time comes, Feral Friend Network does absolutely NOTHING!  Regards, Requested for Help and Never Received It for Feral Cats and Kittens
