The Goodwill in Chula Vista was a solid stop during a quick visit to the area and a fun place to…read morebrowse. It's a fairly large location and felt pretty well organized, which made it easy to look around without feeling overwhelmed. There was a good amount of variety, so it worked just as well for a short walk through as it would for a longer treasure hunt. Even though I only stopped in once, it was still enjoyable to browse and see what unexpected finds might pop up. It's a good option if you like thrifting and happen to be nearby.

The first time I heard about this place was a few years after it had opened up and I needed to…read morecomplete 30+ hours of community service in order to graduate from high school. I think at the time, 2003 or so, I was a sophomore and I was catching up on those community service hours (on top of it, I know). I remember I had to do a lot of trash pick up and cleaning up graffiti. Aside from that, in these last couple of years, I frequent the recreation center to play basketball (indoor). Their basket ball gym is so cool! First of all, its air conditioned. Second, they always music playing. And, finally, they have a total of 6 hoops. Two main ones and two on each side. However, sometimes they might have only a few down. It just depends. There's definitely regulars here who come in the afternoon to play five on five. Te best times to come are usually the first three hours after its opened. Its dead during the first couple of hours. Honestly, I love this place to shoot around, practice, relax and get away for a bit from everything.

While this was my first time here and the store was EXTREMELY clean, I was disappointed. The racks…read morewere pretty unorganized when it comes to size and the 'boutique' section is nothing special. It is composed of any donated clothing that still had tags on it. While the selection itself was alright, the sizes are not really together and you have to really search for the properly sized items. Overall, they have a lot to choose from. From clothing to furniture and all in between. The associates are also very nice and helpful.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. I called to see if they take commercial retail clothing racks and…read morethey said yes bring them by. I packed up a whole truck load of retail clothing racks after spending days moving my business to another location. I get there and I get an immediate attitude and said "we don't take bed frames" I said these aren't bed frames they are multiple racks worth $$$$ and he said hold on my boss wants to "look at them" I didn't call and pack up a whole truck worth of racks to just be looked at. That's why I called in the first place. She didn't want them because they had slight wear (not even rust) obviously they would have some wear. Everyone was rude and didn't even take in to account our time loading these when they said to bring them and they accept them. Honestly so disappointed and I definitely won't be donating there ever again. Which I feel is disappointing for them because I donate so much vintage/collectibles. Will be going to veterans from now on!

Don't waste your time or let your insurance waste their money on this place. I highly recommend Mom's Meals. You actually get educated, informed people who will help you get the meals you need.

I came in on a…read morewhim with a friend, not expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised by how many dresses I genuinely loved. While some were out of my budget or would have required alterations I wasn't willing to do, I ended up finding the perfect dress--already my size, needing little to no alterations, and within my budget. We were honestly amazed. I also really appreciated that they offer to hold a dress for a short period of time (either a few hours or up to a day). When you're making a big purchase decision--especially since the dresses are final sale--it's refreshing and reassuring to see a business that encourages you not to rush. It felt honest and thoughtful, not like they were just trying to make a quick sale. The only downside was the fitting room lighting. It isn't very flattering and doesn't show well on camera, which makes it hard if you're FaceTiming family or friends for a second opinion. I'd recommend stepping toward the front of the store near the window for better lighting. As a suggestion to the store, improving the fitting room lighting would make a huge difference and would also allow customers to feel more comfortable without having to walk to the front of the shop or be visible from outside. Overall, though, it was truly a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this store.

I understand that they're run by volunteers and that makes it more complicated but they're not very helpful when calling to find out when you can drop off the clothes.

They could tell you Friday they're open but make sure to call Friday because it's likely they're not actually going to be open.

My friends and I taught meditation and held a Native American styled council with talking piece. I felt sincerely humbled to connect with these kids. And to be able to relate right back at them, keeping it real made for an incredible experience. This youth is on point for way more than I gave them credit. We also had the great treat to paint a huge canvassed mural with all the kids. It came out great and will be placed soon. Performers included: Paula DeAnda and Baby Bash (that "Suga how you get so high" song) and Frankie J. They had the whole place up and bouncing!! They were even kind enough to take pictures with anyone who asked.

They also force breastfeeding when I've already seen a lactation consultant regarding breastfeeding and formula supplementation. I don't know what qualifications they have to be "counselors" but they don't seem to be licensed counselors or medical professionals to be taking any kind of weight or measurement on a person let alone give medical advice as to what I should and should not do for myself or my child. This office is also filthy. For a place that's supposed to help women and infants, there was not a clean place to change my baby. They also obviously don't care about your schedule either bc my "counselor" wrote a follow up appointment on my card handed it to me and walked me out of her office without even asking if that date works for me. Save us all the trouble of trying to reschedule. Will not be continuing with this office. Extremely disappointed.
