My house burned last year (arson), I had no insurance, no place to go, lived in the back of my…read moretruck in my driveway for a couple of months before I managed to get the world's crappiest trailer house moved in so I'd have shelter for the winter. I lost 35 pounds in just over a month from starvation because I'd spent the last bit of cash I had to buy food for my 11 year old deaf german shepherd, as I couldn't bear the thought of her going hungry, she was my kid's dog as they grew up and is more loyal than any human who ever lived. I was encouraged by several people to go to crosslines ministries in Neosho and ask for help. Reluctantly, after a couple of months, I did. They refused unless I was able to produce a document from the fire marshal stating that my house did in fact burn. Just what I needed to do, spend money on gas I couldn't afford just to chase down a document that shouldn't have been necessary (they could've called the fire marshal and verified anything they wanted to within just a few moments). After this piece of red tape was handled, I was informed they'd put together a "fire victim" package. I wasn't sure what this meant but at this point I'd had the trailer moved in and was glad to be getting some help, as I had absolutely no household goods left. I was told I could pick up the package the next day and did so. Now let me pause here: if you've ever been in their thrift store, you'll notice that they have some very nice things there, all donated, they don't pay a penny for their inventory. I'd expected the package to consist of a few household goods, those things that would help give the minimum creature comforts after losing everything to a fire, maybe some clothing, and possibly a chair or two, a small table....even imagined their might be a fridge in the deal, though didn't expect it. When I picked up the package, it turned out to be a small-ish fruit box (banana box, in fact) that had 2 flat sheets, queen size (not that it mattered, I didn't have a bed), mismatched and uglier than homemade sin....obviously something they couldn't sell....2 cups, both chipped, a couple of plates (not matching), a plastic drinking cup with a stain in it that couldn't be scrubbed out, the ugliest napkin holder ever made (again, something they couldn't sell, and why would a napkin holder be something they'd put in a box for someone who's home just burned?) and a few bent and mismatched pieces of dinner ware. I'm not one to look down my nose at a gift, but this was more like a slap in the face or a kick in the jewels than any attempt to help me recover from my personal tragedy. i'd rather have been told to bugger off than to have them waste my time and precious gas money cutting through their piece of red tape and returning to pick up a box of useless junk they were only willing to give away because it would obviously never make them a penny in profit and only took up space. Crosslines ministries isn't a charity, it's a fraudulent organization using the law as a way to make big money and pay no taxes. I wouldn't walk back in the door of the place even if I were paid.

The staff we encountered were especially helpful and unlike the regular thrift store, some of their merchandise is available online and can be set aside. Warehouse 479 is definitely worth a visit.

Really? This is a store correct? Things on shelves/in cases are for sale correct? The strange thing is last year my husband was at the check-out with a vintage board game he had found on the shelf (with a price tag mind you) and the EXACT same thing happened, lady looked at it and said "oh we can't sell this" It appears that if an employee notices something a customer has that they want then suddenly they 'can't sell it' Very very bad way to run (and also ruin) a business.

But that's totally forgiven as they seem to be staffed by volunteers. If this was more of a corporate thrift store I'd dock the stars for that.

I would check with them for hours if you're driving to Seneca. The food pantry is by appointment for those in need. As for the thrift store...it's not huge, but it's pretty well stocked and they have low prices. There's quite a lot for babies, kids, and expectant mothers, including linens, pregnancy and childcare books, children's and maternity clothing, etc. I was seeking adult clothing, magazines, books, and decor, and found a few items that made it well worth the drive from Joplin to Seneca on a Saturday morning. Most clothing is neatly hung and reasonably well organized. My favorite find was a vintage style top that seems to be homemade but is fantastic! They were having a special summer sale making it dirt cheap. They also accept donations of merchandise or spare change for their mission of providing hunger relief for the community, so I have to give five stars. The ladies working were very friendly and polite when we visited the store.

We were standing there staring directly into her lower side. Not only was the experience incredibly unprofessional, it made me wonder what manners we're teaching teenagers today! So sad.

Think "dad" shirts like denim and corduroy and flannel, but all clean and in good condition. Low prices. The guy running this place is very friendly and personable, and seems open to haggling and making special deals. We bought some clothing and he gave us several old magazines for free (we were gonna buy them anyway). He said that due to the Route 66 location they have shoppers come in from all over the world. Their shoes and bags were not in the best shape, but again this place is cheap! There is not really room for a lot of housewares or furniture due to the shop's size but it's charming and fully stocked. I would absolutely return.
