This is a warehouse (think Sam's Club) full of canned items, fresh vegatables and meat, fruit, drinks etc. It's absolutely unbelievable.

If you operate a food pantry, provide meals as part of a community service or organization this is a place you should visit. Just ask for Moxie! She runs the show!

In 1993, the Inner City Youth Opportunities organization was founded by Jeanne and Phillip Bell…read more They saw inner city children struggling in the classroom and with family problems, and they wanted to help. Seeing the positive impact that sports has on the development of children, the Bells took to combining their love of tennis with helping local inner city kids succeed in the classroom and out in the real world. By combining tennis, academic intervention, and youth development programs the ICYO strives to teach the children important life skills to succeed (according to ICYO Newsletter and website). Through the Academic Intervention Program, the ICYO offers tutoring and homework help four days a week, assisting with anything from reading, writing, and spelling to organization skills, math, and even computer/keyboarding. During the summer months, Mrs. Bell runs a tennis program at Withrow High School, Monday through Thursday for three hours. I was a volunteer three years ago and it was such a great experience and it felt really good to help the many children with their tennis, watch them enjoy it, and just to be their friend while I was there. Transportation (and meals) to all ICYO events is free, and for those really interested in tennis, they will take them around to play in the area tournaments. Although I was too young to see it at the time, playing in these tournaments and sometimes seeing the Bells spending their Friday and Saturday nights watching their program's kids play tennis is truly remarkable. The best thing is when they issue their seasonal newsletter and you can read some of the success stories. The most important thing to the Bells and their staff and many volunteers is teaching the children life skills and leading them down the right path towards earning a high school degree. In the summer tennis program in 2005, I worked alongside a man who was ICYO's first high school graduate in 2000, an honors student and National Honors Society member, and then a 2005 graduate of Kent State University where he was on scholarship for football. Without the ICYO program, it's not likely he would have been able to achieve what he did, and he recognized that, which is why he gave back to the program in which he grew up. Inner City Youth Opportunities is an excellent program and the number of nationally and community-based partnerships they are involved in shows that too. Whether it's from tutoring, tennis, or a trip to a Xavier basketball game or Camp Ernst, for example, ICYO provides great opportunities for inner city children of Cincinnati to have fun, while also growing as both persons and students. It's truly outstanding and touching what the Bells have been doing these last 15 years with the ICYO program, and I'm glad to have been a part of it.

Overall I'd say this thrift store is conveniently located and tidy…read more There are two dressing rooms when you walk in and the entire main floor is women's clothing and shoes. Everything is organized by size and category which is helpful. The men's, kids, and household section is in the back. These areas are quite small. I'm assuming the store simply does not receive ample amount of donations in this area. I went with 50% off, and felt the discounted price I paid should be the original price. For example I bought one old cotton long sleeve. Basic and it was $5 full price. Many times thrift stores charge more than 50% of retail and this is a big issue for access. Speaking of accessibility. There is zero disability access into the store. This is a major problem. As a mom with a young child, I had to unload everything, including my child and carry everything with the stroller up the steep stairs. I try to walk to stores when able, and I couldn't simply throw the stroller in the car, or leave it outside in the rain. I'm not sure why a second hand store where many parents and disabled people shop would not have accessibility. I cannot imagine being in a wheelchair, being elderly, or having other physical ailments having this road block to a store that is supposed to be for the community.
