Its in a rougher area but if you want good stuff its most definitely worth your time. All of the furniture in the store has been donated, but its not your run of the mill donations: much of it has been donated directly from mid and high-end furniture stores. The manager told me El Dorado sends a lot of their scratched or dented pieces that they can't sell, but are still in very good shape. A big chunk of the pieces at Better Way are most definitely designer pieces, some of the smaller pieces selling for upwards of$400-$500 dollars each, some easily for more. I couldn't believe some of the high quality pieces they had that were priced waaaaaaaaaaay below what they would be sold for in store. Yeah they've got a couple little dents and marks, but you'll make some on your own eventually when you buy them. I got a very stylish brand new dresser with a couple marks which I think will come out with some elbow grease, and for a very, very good price. Also the thrift store supports a recovery center, and I love to support a good cause. If you want to support local business or are a bargain hunter like me, check this place out!

Community Centers are the heart of their community. They offer classes, exercise, can be rented out…read morefor events, and they can even give a helping hand through their many programs staffed by city employees. A good community center offers varied opportunities for its residents of all ages. A shining example of a great community center is the Pinecrest Community Center across from Pine Crest Library. I was able to check out the Pinecrest Community center during the Pinecrest Farmers Market. Overflow parking for the market is behind the community center and library. The Pinecrest Community Center offers many free and low cost programs for all residents. These include personal enrichment programs, social activities, creative activities, active recreation, STEAM, arts, health, camps, and fitness programs. The community center gym is a popular destination for fitness enthusiasts. There is cardio and strength training equipment, stretch zone, locker rooms with showers, and personal trainers and fitness classes. The community center also has an indoor play zone for children and families and spaces that can be rented for private events. Outside the center is a shade covered playground and paved walkways for exercise. There is also a cafe called Elia Pinecrest that anyone can visit for dine in and take out. You can register for classes and upcoming events online and follow the community center on social media for event news. There are volunteer opportunities too. If you want to be active, make friends, and learn new things, the Pinecrest Community Center has just the right program for all ages. It kind of makes me wish I lived in Pinecrest.

I really love Alper JCC…read more Both my kids have been coming here for years and the quality of education and the love they give here to all students is palpable. JCC is truly a great institution and the facilities are excellent. Pools, gym, theater, tennis... etc all very good. I'm actually sad that the kids have to move on from here but their foundation is strong from JCC teaching and their values.

As a gym, Alper JCC's Fitness Center is a treasure for several reasons. First of all when you come…read morehere, there tends to be plenty of parking outside. The price per month is affordable (for me, it is about $35 per month), the location itself is big, and it is a community center. While I haven't participated in any of the local events, I really appreciate that this place is meant to be inclusive to the entire community. This means that as a community center, they have special things offered for children and for senior citizens as well. I was considering taking my daughter here for their theater program which I know is excellent and provides great training for this. Moving onto the gym itself -- they offer Hot Yoga, Vinyasa, and all kinds of other Yoga. There are many kinds of in-person classes that tend to be offered here. Even during CoronaVirus, they have been offering classes from their teachers on Facebook just so that people can still exercise without endangering themselves. There is a massive pool in the back and the bathroom has both a steam room and a massage chair that can be used. This place always serves coffee and free / clean towels for gym members to wash their faces. At a premium price, they offer pilates for those that are interested in this. There is a weight room for lifting weights, exercise machines, a Peloton machine and a room for spinning bikes in the back (not the quality that I'm accustomed to, but still, I found this kind of cool). Overall, I really appreciate the hospitality that this gym shows in terms of its customer service and what is literally offered to its members. There is also a daycare center here if this is needed. I like that this gym makes an effort towards inclusion which means that they encourage older people to stay in good and healthy shape. While I might be working out next to someone that is 60 years old, I really appreciate that this gym and the atmosphere here is inclusive to its entire community which also means its elders and children within the community too. This place is a hidden treasure and it would be hard to find other places that can match how welcoming and caring this place is.

I had some time to kill so I thought I would pop in and glad I did, and also I'm glad I speak Spanish because nobody speaks English in this area lol it was well organized, focus was mainly enclosed, small amount of books and CDs, but I was ecstatic to find this luggage find it that was barely used. I looked it up online and people tend to say that the handle telescoping handle does not have a button to push and they could accidentally push it down and also that they handle was a little on the cheap end, but for my travel purposes, it was perfect!

I love that this is a family friendly place and I love their high success rate of getting people off the streets and into real housing, not just their homeless shelter. Which is probably why they take ALL SORTS of donations. When you have residents get a fresh start in their own place, they could use the furniture and wall pictures and dishes and vases and stuff. Which makes it different than a normal homeless shelter. I donate stuff about once a month to either this location or to the downtown location. (I have put the word out to neighbors and friends that they can drop stuff at my house, even if I'm not home. You'd be amazed how many people just throw stuff away because when they are in the cleaning mood, they want it gone now.) When I go to drop off, there is great security. Also, the residents seem to do volunteer hours and come out to help me unload my van and then sort our the donations. When I go inside for my receipt, I overhear conversations where they are helping residents set up appointments and job interviews. I am very impressed with this organization.

Everything in the facility is pretty much donated by various organizations. From the food to the rooms these families are provided for.
