    The woman working here could not have been friendlier or more helpful! I would not hesitate to bring donations here in the future.

    Saint's Place - Shopping at the Clothing Closet

    Saint's Place

    (1 review)

    It's hard to find a good place to donate to these days. How do you know that your donated items…read morewill actually go to people in need? I had a closet that needed to be purged desperately and Saint's Place has a community in need of gently used women's clothes. When my friend told me that they'll use my old clothes right away, I was sold. It was a match made in philanthropic heaven, so to speak. Saint's Place is located in Pittsford, adjacent to the St. Louis Church. Their goal is to aid and assist newly arrived refugees by giving them clothes, housewares, tutorial services, and by setting them up in new apartments. Lots of families rely on Saint's Place to get set up upon arriving in Rochester. What I really liked the most is that the refugees pick out clothes and leave with them that same day. Here's how it works: you can just leave your donations on the back porch and grab a receipt if you itemize. Make sure you keep everything together in a plastic bag to protect from the elements! For those of you who love a good garage sale, Saint's Place has an annual super sale. This is noteworthy because it's the one time of the year when they accept donations of non-children's books. Saint's Place normally only takes children's books because the refugees are only now learning to speak English. Clothing donations should be of the casual variety, maybe a little business casual to be thrown in. Pickup is available as well if you can't drop off your donations easily. Of course, volunteering is also good too! I'm glad my friend told me about Saint's Place because I know my old clothes will be put to good use here. If you need to clean out your closet, consider donating here, there are lots of families who will be glad you and I did.

    Lollypop Farm Humane Society Of Greater Rochester - Giant cow outside by the petting zoo!

    This has to be the most beautiful, well maintained SPCA I have ever visited. The building itself…read morelooks epic from the parking lot. (And there is a good sized lot for parking, by the way!) Flowers were planted everywhere. You can see a big metal heart, a gigantic cow, and signs for the petting zoo and the farm walk. We started inside. When you first walk in you are greeted by the gift shop. Lots of fun things here. My daughter of course was totally entranced by this part of our adventure! Then we started with small animals. We saw bunnies, rats, ferrets, and turtles. They all seemed content and well cared for. Everything looked and smelled clean. They had hammocks, toys, food and water, and space to play. The kitties were next. Though the cages are always smaller than you'd like to see due to necessity, almost all of the them had a box, a bed, and a litter box, and quite a few were doubles that had places to climb, toys, and "privacy" visors for kitties who just wanted to nap in peace. There were a couple of larger rooms with cat towers and other fun things for free roam time and visitors! We saw the dogs last. There weren't too awful many, and most of the rooms were signed "staff only". So that part was a little bit disappointing. I would have loved to have a little more interaction with the pups! We wandered outside after that to scope out the petting zoo, which was closed at the time of our visit, and then the farm trail. We LOVED this part, as we got to see horses, cows, pigs, and ostriches! There was also a really beautifully done pet cemetery, complete with "rainbow bridge". If you're an animal person this really tugs at those heartstrings. You know what I'm talking about! The whole farm trail was just so beautifully done and well maintained. And it made for a decent walk, too! On our way back to the parking lot we saw some other things that caught our eye, like sidewalks bricks that were laid "in memory". Right next door is a playground, too! Absolutely 100% recommend for pet adoption, volunteering, or if you are just looking for a fun place to meander like we were.

    Lollipop Farm is composed of a board of individuals that turn a blind eye to animal abuse. They…read morehave refused to step in and help dogs that were chained up outside in temperatures well below zero. In fact dogs have froze to death due to their negligence.They also have lied to animal advocates regarding dogs being kept inside an abandoned "house" without heat, food and water- stating that they were taking a dog that was in a crate and had eaten his way through the side- and was stuck and bleeding, for help. Animal advocates watched them back a van in to "take the dog for medical help" while numerous Rochester PD stood guard on the property. However, it was later learned that they never removed the dog- it was all a staged game. Lollypop takes in thousands and thousands of dollars- pays their board of directors massive salaries and continues to abuse and mistreat animals. STOP SUPPORTING THIS TRAIN WRECK!! THEY ARE USING PUBLIC DONATIONS TO FUND THESE SALARIES-NOT PROTECT ANIMALS. After walking through the above mentioned house - through feces and urine and finding more than one dog in this type of situation, Reno DiDomenico, from Lollypop, stated that they don't take action because nothing is wrong. You do the math.

    I wanted to give another review on Perinton Ambulance, although my original experience was not…read moregreat. I have to say that the quick response and concern was really impressive. I received a call the very next day from the Chief and he wanted to know what happened. He took great notes we review things and talked about how that was not how things are done. I believe this will be a teachable moment for that EMT and everyone needs those now and then. I was very impressed with how he handled things. I did talk with my patient the next day...home and resting. Thank you again to the Chief.

    In January 2024, I woke up in the middle of the night with chest pain and a heart rate too rapid to…read moremeasure. I called 911 and was told paramedics could come and take my vitals. Perinton Ambulance arrived, talked to me at my door for a minute while I was in deep distress, and then told me they could not take my vitals unless I consented to an ambulance ride to the ER. Then, they got back in their rig and waited like an Uber driver while I personally struggled to get dressed to go to the hospital (it was 3am) - completely alone, during a state of terror and pain. But that's not the worst part. 2.5 YEARS later, in late May 2026, I received a call from a debt collector saying I owed an unidentified business $2,300. At first, I thought it was a scam, as my credit is good and my credit app showed zero delinquent accounts or active collection attempts. But after calling them back and providing scary personal information, I learned they were collecting on behalf of Perinton Ambulance! I was shocked - as I had high-quality health insurance coverage then (and now) and my ambulance copay at the time was just $150. In addition, I never received any call, email, or mail from Perinton Ambulance since 2024. The first notice I received was from a debt collector, which could have led to collection or credit consequences - especially since I assumed it was a scam, in this day and age. I had since moved to a new city, and had different health insurance now, so I spent the next hours looking for old paperwork, and waiting on hold with my old insurance company. When they were finally able to confirm my account, they were able to find the claim and told me that their records showed the claim had been processed/paid and that my patient responsibility was only my copay - especially over 2 years later. What transpired next was just as shocking - the helpful health insurance rep offered to call both the debt collector and Perinton Ambulance with me on the line (she was amazing). But the debt collector was of little help - they said I had a right to appeal and would receive an "appeal packet" in the mail within 30 days, wonderful. Then we tried calling Perinton Ambulance. Eventually, a man named Robert called us back, and I am still stunned at what he said. I merged the call with the health insurance rep and Perinton Ambulance, and then I was a witness to an outrageous argument between the health insurance rep and "Robert," who claimed Fidelis had only paid them ~$150 (my copay amount), and when they were unable to attain the charged ~$2,300 from my health insurance - even though they could see that contractually I only had a $150 copay and Fidelis told them in 3 different claim adjustments that I was covered and only owed $150 - they had no choice but to come after the patient for it. The Fidelis rep then proceeded to politely reprimand the ambulance worker, saying that the issue should have been escalated directly with Fidelis through proper channels - not pursued against the patient. A heated back and forth ensued with me just caught in the crossfire, stunned. Fidelis said they would be escalating to their grievance department and filing a complaint with New York State on my behalf. Robert sounded frustrated and said "they'd call me back," and became defensive, and when I interrupted calmly (as I sensed the call was about to end) to ask for his name and phone number, or the name of a manager, the call suddenly disconnected. This whole process took ~3 hours during a work day, looking for old files, and navigating phone calls with old insurance companies, opaque debt collectors, and ambulance companies that don't answer the phone. The medical system in this country is broken, and if you're not killed by a heart problem (terrifying enough as that is), you might feel like you are slowly being killed by the Kafkaesque, dystopian, predatory system we ironically call "healthcare" in this country.
