Service is friendly though or is, at least, as friendly as you are to them. Drop-off is around back.

They're only open 3 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) and only accept donations on Saturdays until 3pm. I went 6/3 and found some good finds. I saw a lot of name brand clothing in the women's and children's section with some items as low as $1. My personal finds were a new with tags pair of white shorts from Marshall's for $4 and a pair of Columbia brand pants for $4 as well. I also got a few books for $1.25 each and a shot glass set priced at $3 for 5 glasses. They do offer colored tag specials like 50% blue or 75% off pink so check out the signage when you come in.

Very nice thrift shop in Charlotte. This is a members and non-members kind of thrift shop. For…read moremembers (those who contribute to the store's charities), they have a separate room where the members get first dibs on all the new stuff that comes in. For non-members (like us), the merchandise that remains (and there is a lot of it) is then arranged in a different room for the greater public. Even though there is a hierarchy to the visitors, the merch was still in abundance ... they have nice standards of what the take in and sell. We think they are only open two or three days per week, but if your looking to do a little thrift shopping, this is a nice one.

I attended IOP at HopeWay in December 2024 while struggling with unmanaged chronic pain and severe…read moretrauma. I told them I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to sit in the chair because my back hurts so bad and they told me it would be no problem to just get some pillows and sit quietly in the back however I needed to. I see now that it really was just like collecting tuition at a time when the body count was low due to the holidays. Because I started and they were like welcome-no problem- and then I voiced my issues about loose structure feeling like it's day camp. With young counselors, offering to start late and end early. I found this destabilizing and in effective and despairing. I asked for structured, therapeutic support, but what I experienced was programming that consistently started late, ended early, and was often framed as "giving us a break." The in-between time was loosely structured or unclear, which left me feeling more destabilized than supported. At that point it was the new year and the body count was back up and they said they didn't know if they could accommodate me with my chronic pain that I should move to the inpatient. The thing is impatient, receive the same care from the same therapist in the same building. The only difference is they sleep there and they get their medication managed so when I wasn't manageable enough for them and I wasn't needed because body count had increased. They let me know that that was really my only option if I wanted Care there. It was very stressful. I would not send anyone there. Additionally, I know someone who attended also and shortly after leaving was not able to stay on the Earth any longer. It's not necessarily a reflection of them. It's just odd that I only know of one other person who went there, and we both had experiences that left us feeling similar. HopeWay may provide safe supervision during a crisis, but if you are looking for intentional, trauma-informed, and neurodivergence-aware therapy, the program as I experienced it lacked the consistency and depth needed for true healing.
