I'm from out of state so it took a little bit to check out because of friendly conversation in front of me plus they use an old fashion cash register which was giving the poor lady a hard time. The stores proceeds go to a good cause of helping foster animals. There was a selection of a little bit of everything however some of the stuff was overpriced. boots are normally 6.00 unless marked but they had a new pair of boots priced at $75.00. The store was small but it was packed to the brim so it was hard to move around and look at everything.

They take those items and set up two building to help those in need. From homeless people to families finding it hard to clothe and feed themselves, they come and get help. Very easy process to come in and get registered then you have a schedule to come in for food and other clothing or household items like blankets. Food bank gets donations from everyone, individuals, churches, businesses and the same for the many volunteers who help here. Food bank is open Tuesday-Friday's. They have homeless boxes of food for those without the ability to cook. Then others get 17lb of food to start, plus other items like bread, milk, coffee, drinks when they have those items in stock. If you know of someone in the community who is struggling, let them know there are places to help. Very rewarding to come in and volunteer here or just stop in and donate your old coat, good socks, food.

I'm a local, and this is my honest experience…read more This place has gone downhill. What once felt like a nonprofit thrift store serving animals and the community now feels more like a for-profit or consignment-style operation, except the items here are donated, not consigned. Prices have grown exponentially. I've personally seen used Danner boots priced around $175 for used shoes, dish sets priced $50-$100, purses commonly priced $15-$100, and everyday household items priced far beyond normal thrift store standards. Cups that should be 50 cents are a couple dollars or priced much higher. Used shoes are often far outside what locals can reasonably afford-$10-50. Again for used shoes!!! This is not consignment. These items were donated by local people out of the goodness of their hearts with the expectation that they would stay affordable and accessible. Blairsville is still a lower-income area overall, even with tourism. Pricing should reflect the people who actually live here. They also removed the monthly $6 bag sale, blaming theft. From a customer perspective, this feels less about theft and more about greed. Locals have complained repeatedly and they ignore them citing their same excuse. I've been in the store multiple times and heard shoppers openly say things like, "That's outrageous" while looking at prices. I've also been informed that this store is generating millions in revenue each year in a small town. I can't confirm if this is accurate but there are some reliable sources that are getting very fed up with the greed from the people at the top and that work at the store. If that's even remotely accurate, locals deserve transparency. Where is the money going? The board members are reportedly not local, and it shows. The community connection that once existed feels gone. As a low-income local, I used to enjoy going into this store. It was friendly, welcoming, and community-focused. That atmosphere is not there anymore. If you want to donate to a place that clearly gives back and shows where the profits go, I strongly recommend: * Habitat for Humanity Blairsville-prices are starting to elevate to but staff is super sweet * Safe Thrift Shop * Empty Stocking Thrift in Blue Ridge, which actively supports their community and prices items fairly This community needs accountability and transparency. A nonprofit thrift store should not price out the very people who helped build it.

So someone tell me why does this thrift store have 3 different shopping areas and why is there now a rule that if you buy something from one area you have to walk whatever you bought all the way back out to your car before you can shop in another area. I have never in my life walked into a store and had to pass through 3 separate checkouts AND walk my purchases to the car 3 separate times in order to continue shopping at the same store. That's nuts!! Also, its kind of rude and embarrassing to be hollered at from across a room full of people "you can't come in here with that!!!!" Like I came there to steal or something. By the way I have given to this place far more than I have ever bought and the fact they still treat people like dirt while they mark up a high price on the items I gave to them is perhaps the epitome of shameless. Maybe just maybe consider making it into one big shopping area so you dont have to yell at people or make the elderly walk back and forth in extreme heat for no reason.
