I take it it's for a good cause but, is ridiculously overpriced, especially given questionable merchandise: holes, visibly old, stained, parts missing etc. Ladies were at least polite, not so the male supposed manager: rude, condescending, patronizing, & likely racially profiling: uncalled-for, suspected thieving, & gave some lame excuse to go through my things before I left the store. Didn't see any staff do this to any other customer! read more

This place is wonderful. First impression: Friendly staff and pleasant vibes. It was one of those places you walk in and immediately feel at peace. The selection wasn't huge but it was very organized and the pieces there were very nice. I picked up some cloth napkins. Would definitely recommend this thrift shop to others! read more

This afternoon while swinging through the area I decided to stop in at this thrift shop to see what they had to offer. When I walked in I was amazed at how well organized the store was, and how many nice items they had. This store has many clothing choices as well as a ton of different jewelery items and furniture. They also had a nice section towards the front of the store that was completely filled with books. As the previous review states, the store is priced a little high. That being said, the money goes towards a great cause which makes spending a few extra dollars worth it! read more

See all

Friendly, mission-driven place to donate your thinks to supoort those battling cancer.

As one who's made a study of secondhand shops (including volunteer gigs at some), this is as good as you can get. Clean. Doesn't have that "leftover" mold smell of some. Well priced to MOVE, which is part of the key to a well run charity shop. read more

The store is nice but the treatment toward to people with different backgrounds is awful. I have been documenting situations where I been in the store and they are awful with an elderly that didn't know English. They were so bad that the poor guy couldn't buy things in the store because what the employees was doing was yelling at him. I assist the person myself and I explain to him in Spanish. I was outside the store waiting to be open and it was the time to be open and a gentleman came out yelling at me saying that they weren't ready yet. Lack of manners!! Totally!! No even say good morning and nicely could explain to me that they weren't open yet. I really think this store need more cultural sensitivity training or hire some or find more volunteers with different backgrounds, considering that Northampton it is a very culturally diverse town. Most the employees have attitude. I understand that they don't get pay and the work they do is volunteer. Hats off ! Thank you. I was very threatening the way they treat customers and I included myself. Nobody like to be yelled at 10 am in the morning. The Greeting part was missing. Lack of welcoming customers. I hope the foundation take the reviews very seriously and start working right away in those issues. Anticipatory customers service is always a good key .. of hospitality and keep customers happy Thank you read more

My new favorite thrift store in the valley!! I literally just got my whole professional wardrobe there. Super cute work skirts, blouses, and shoes. The ladies working there were very sweet and told me I looked great while I was trying things on, which is always fun. Plus, their sales are awesome. Loved it! read more

Such an incredible place! Wonderful selections; friendly staff; and a great cause! I highly recommend it.

Well priced secondhand clothes, I've found some high quality staples here. Random, but they also have a lot of cute handkerchiefs and I stocked up on a couple of them. In my experience it's clean and you can tell effort was put into the presentation. And most importantly the proceeds go to a very worthy cause. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Wow! Never in all my years of thrifting have I happened across such a gem! The selection was truly delightful and the prices were outstanding!! And to boot, it all goes to a great cause! The more than friendly staff brightened my day :) would absolutely recommend ... Sincerely, Content Consumer read more

Nice selection of clothes, shoes, bags ect. Prices are a bit high if you are going to resell. Store itself is very clean and well organized. Staff is friendly and helpful and proceeds go to a great cause. read more

One of my favorite thrift stores to stop in and browse when I am in Northampton. Very clean and organized. They always have an interesting variety of items. Moderately priced, not a hunting ground for resellers, but a great place to find a unique vintage gift, decor or artsy/vintage clothing and costume jewelry. read more

Very very nice staff and an easy location to access. The merchandise turnover is pretty good for a small city. Great deals on music and books. The selection for men's clothing is small, but their prices are ok. The shop has a high ceiling and clean bathroom, so you don't feel like you're shopping in someone's basement. read more

Love this place! The staff of volunteers are so helpful and the shop is bright and warm. All proceeds benefit the Cancer Connection, so it's a win-win. read more

I give the shop four stars because it is very clean, well lit, organized and attractive and it benefits a non-profit Cancer organization. Staff is helpful. However I feel the prices are on the high side for thrift and I left empty- handed, which is rare for me. Examples of prices were $24 for a man's chili pepper print Hawaiian shirt, $8 for clothes from shops like the Gap and Target, $24 for nice vintage hats, and $200 for a signed oil painting of an elderly woman. One vintage hat chosen for the fashion show was out at $49 so it would not sell before the event. (As a point of comparison right before I went to the Cancer Connection I bought two vintage hats at the Hospice Shop on Bridge Street for $3 each.) The lady who does the pricing, who used to have an eBay store, explained that they are creating a boutique experience where they have done the sorting and it is easy for the customer to shop and they have taken on a lot of overhead. One of the volunteers was steaming every garment...they do have great attention to detail. The result is excellent for middle class customers and students with an allowance or a job who are willing to pay used clothing retail prices and don't have the time or patience to dig through a lot of merchandise. However, most items are too high for vintage dealers and resellers (I buy to resell) and also too high for people who shop thrift because they can't afford anything else. The very best items are on a separate rack. I would like if they separated all the low-end clothes like Gap, American Eagle, Target, and cut those prices in half and also instituted a mark down calendar like the now defunct Filene's Basement. Don't even think of trying to buy the fantastic mid century furniture, for which I would have paid dearly- it was left to them on the condition they use it in the shop and not sell it. read more
