It's a thrift store run by volunteers, people; it's not Walmart…read more I donate to and shop here frequently. When I lost a significant amount of weight, I purchased a new wardrobe here of gently worn and name-brand items. If you think something is priced too high, wait a bit; they regularly run clearance sales. I've always received pleasant service from the very busy people running the outfit. And yes, they operate a cat shelter, which is separate from the main store. Animal rescue and assistance is the primary goal of the operation. For those with allergies, know where you can go or shouldn't go. A thrift store of any kind is likely not a good choice---I have five cats, so any items I donate will carry a degree of cat dander. For example, I am allergic to wheat, so I don't visit bakeries. Just saying. There is another animal assistance thrift store in town, and their prices are set twice as high. I spread my business between the two, but when it comes to ease of donating, Friends of Animals Thrift Shoppe of Eldon is tops. I'm heading out right now with a back seat full of second-hand items and a #20 bag of cat food for them. I'll probably explore the old jewelry while I'm there to see if there is anything to add to my collection for making Christmas trees. Last month I scored a whole bag of beads for a song. It's a great place and a great cause.

The store overall is extremely spacious and well-stocked, with a good mix of a variety of merchandise. It's kept neat and orderly, no matter how much merchandise they have on the shelves and on the racks. I like that a lot: Just because you are dealing in thrift goods, your store doesn't have to look like a junkyard. There are quite a few thrift/junk stores that could take a cue from this Salvation Army location. They're exemplary! There are some treasures here, too, and you don't have to dig terribly hard to get at them. The prices are terrific. I'm impressed across the board with this store!

Today they said we don't do that at all. I will not be wasting my time with inconsistency with a business. I was about to drop over $200 dollars on booth #19. The lady behind the counter said no military discount and some guy sitting down said that discount wasn't authorized last time. Not a good business practice. I will not be back, and I do not recommend this business. Go somewhere else. There is a difference between running a business and being greedy. Train your staff and be better. 6 June 2025
