Remember this is not a quick fix, it takes time and work to improve on over all mental health. It is a process for them to internalize what they have learned and become functional human beings. Remember they are the experts and that's why you bring them there. Parents without any education in drug addiction, or mental health who involve themselves is foolhardy as they are not trained. Would a surgeon allow you to critique or assist them through brain Surgery? Patients need to have control, and power over their future destiny. This builds their confidence and self esteem. Kenneth Young is a place where it is confidential and safe. No need to micro manage them. They do a tremendous job with they way they serve they serve the entire community, Eternally grateful and appreciate the entire organization for all they do. Thank you for your commitment to excellence!

Mm-hmm!…read more Since I moved to Roselle a year ago, I've been driving myself out to distant Goodwill locations and other assorted retail shops while overlooking this gem right nearby. Actually, I did know it was here, but I had poor experiences at other Salvation Army locations and didn't want to come here. A few months ago, I stopped in this location on a whim to drop off some donations and ended up being kind of impressed! It's one of the largest, sunniest, and most organized Salvation Army stores I've ever seen. Every section is clearly labeled by a sign hanging from the ceiling. The clothes are organized by colors and styles. The employees are actually friendly. And the prices!? LOW! Yeah, some things smell "old," there's a bit of dust in the air, some of the aisles are quite narrow, and some things seem kind of broken (I would recommend staying away from the toys and electronics), but it doesn't bother me. Somewhere in the midst of all of this, there is treasure to be found! While the clothes are a bit worn down and more along the line of spring break t-shirts than designer tops, this is my jam for last-minute grabs. Although I probably won't be filling my closets with clothes from Salvation Army, this is a good spot for pick up some clothes that can be dirty, items for homemade costumes, knick knacks, and furniture that you can upcycle. I am, however, currently wearing a pair of pajama pants that I bought here (don't worry, I washed them first). Oh, and as Candice mentioned in her recent review, the couches here are awesome. I found myself wandering around the dozens of couches, wondering if there was any chance that my husband would be willing to drop a few bucks on a new (and unnecessary) addition to our living room. There were so many to choose from and they weren't icky at all! We haven't found the perfect couch or armchair yet but I'm keeping my eyes peeled. By the way, donations are accepted at the Salvation Army truck in the parking lot of Nerge Road. I don't understand why donations are accepted this way, but hey, it's for a good cause. And it works.

No signs posted but finally figured out where to take my donations.

I'll stick with Goodwill by the house who brings a cart out to you and you don't see any of that.

I would give them 10 out of 5 stars if I could…read more The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about the animals. The animals are clearly well cared for, and the adoption fee includes a lot, such as microchipping and keeping the animals up to date on their medical care. They are also happy to answer questions and provide advice, both before and after adoption. If you're considering a special-needs pet or aren't sure what type of pet would be the best fit, they'll take the time to explain the responsibilities involved and help you make an informed decision. What really sets this shelter apart is that they take the time to get to know potential adopters and make sure each adoption is a good fit for both the animal and the family. Their focus is on responsible placement and the well-being of the pets, not superficial factors. I especially appreciate that they don't judge a person's ability to provide a loving home based on their social media presence. Too often, some organizations seem to equate online popularity with being a good pet owner, but those things have little to do with one another. In fact, the amount of time someone spends building a social media following says nothing about the care, attention, and commitment they'll give a pet. This shelter evaluates people based on what truly matters: their ability and willingness to provide a safe, stable, and loving home. I adopted two kittens from them about a year and a half ago. One grew into a gentle giant, while the other stayed petite. A few weeks ago, I returned and adopted a large 3-year-old cat as a companion for my gentle giant. The adoption process was just as positive the second time around. I highly recommend this shelter to anyone considering adopting, donating, or volunteering. They are doing great work and truly have the animals' best interests at heart.

A great cause, awesome people, and a playlist of absolute throwbacks. At one point, there were 30 grown adults singing way too confidently to songs none of us had any business knowing every word to. Productivity remained surprisingly high. In all seriousness, it was incredibly rewarding knowing the meals we packed will help feed children around the world. It's one of those rare volunteer opportunities where the hour absolutely flies by, and you leave feeling like you genuinely made a difference. The staff keeps everything moving, everyone is welcoming, and the atmosphere is upbeat without ever losing sight of why you're there. Highly recommend it. Come for the volunteering, stay because apparently you're the lead singer of a 2000s cover band whenever a throwback comes on.
