Drive through - easy to get from the street
Victoria T.

This review is for the donation process- this by far has been the most convenient donation process I've been to! They are located right off the freeway and has a drive through area. The people helping are always friendly and do all the heavy lifting for you. They make it go by quick! They also accept many items and what they don't accept they list up front. They have good hours and it's easy to pull in and out and get rid of a ton of stuff at once! This is the only goodwill I go to now for donations.

Poop or something splattered on wall

The bathrooms are really nasty. The floors have dark black stains on them and the back of the toilet had something splattered behind it. It's just gross.

Donation line totally empty on midday Monday

This review is only about the donation experience. I know a lot of people have their own personal reasons why they choose not to donate to Goodwill. Personally, sometimes I just need to get stuff out of my house as soon as I can. Some other locations require an appointment or aren't always accepting certain items. I try to be a community conscious donor and I don't just give the Goodwill my trash. I would encourage others to do the same. They're open seven days a week and their hours for donations are nearly all the hours that I might feel inspired to take something out of my house to give away. I think it's 9 AM to 8 PM to be exact.

There's a decent book, DVD, CD, & even have vinyl . I'm surprised there's so many different things that you can find here. it was my first time here, but I was impressed. You really never know what you're gonna find.

I really like everything in this store. Everything is clean and in order. You can always find what you want.

See all

They were fantastic! Unloaded car, extremely polite, and very nice! Great experience! Drive thru for donations was clearly marked. Wow!

Get your hours straight and don't have a attitude when you tell the manager they should fix it.

Ask the Community - Goodwill Industries Sacramento Valley & Northern Nevada

Are there dressing rooms?

There used to be dressing rooms to the far right when you walked in, near the books. However, I'm pretty sure they removed them.

Do they sell patio furniture?

Sometimes, if someone donates it. I don't see it there often, though.

Is Goodwill still accepting all donation items, or are there restrictions due to COVID 19?

They are accepting donations but only in the back area. Drive behind the store, wait your turn as its one at a time, and the workers will instruct you where to place your donations. Btw to ensure safety they will not touch your donations, you have… 

Is this goodwill open right now?

At the time of this question we were not as we were shut down due to covid on ~March 19-20. we reopened on ~June 3rd if my resources are correct. Our current operation hours are 8am to 7pm and donation hours 10am to 3pm 7 days a week (as of…

I've been shopping at this location for years and I've never been disappointed. Today I stopped in…read moreand experienced the recent changes they've made and I was impressed with the layout and organization and overall merchandise they had available. So glad to see this location is here to stay.

Ever since my lady and I have been watching our spending habits by not shopping at retailers that…read moresell "new" merchandise, the whole thrifting thing has been surprisingly successful as of late. Which takes me to the city of Folsom where we both had the opportunity in checking out "Snowline Thrift Store". Located directly on East Bidwell St and adjacent to Glenn Dr, this very well-known thrift store has been serving the Folsom community and its surrounding areas dating back to 1979. Best of all, the money that is collected goes towards hospice care for a variety of hospitals and care facilities in the greater Sacramento area. My lady and I came here during the afternoon on Saturday 5/30/2026 at around 3:00pm. As for the exterior of building, this place offers ample parking for a couple dozen vehicles which is very convenient on the busier days. Upon entry, I was greeted by a huge jukebox (that sounded amazing) playing lots of great upbeat music; my kind of vibe when I am thrifting. The main register is near the front entrance while there are actual fitting rooms (unlike Goodwill) where you can try your clothes on before you buy. Finally, they do offer a single one-person restroom towards the mid-rear part of the building. Business hours are also quite reasonable as they are open Monday through Saturday from 9am-7pm and Sunday from 11am-7pm. The overall prices here are quite reasonable as they sell a nice assortment of men's, women's, and children's apparel all at decent prices. Here you will find quite a bit of tees, polos, blouses, pants, jeans, skirts, outerwear, ties, shoes, and much more. They also carry a nice variety of glasses, dishes, small kitchen appliances, home apparel, artificial plants, mirrors, artwork, and even larger items such as tables, recliners, curio cabinets, and bedroom/living room furniture. And for the bookworm/audiophile in all of us, this place sells quite a decent amount of books, movies (VHS/DVD), music (vinyl records/CD's). During our visit, my lady was able to make a few amazing purchases on some small accessories for her workstation as well as some nice little side pieces for the living room. Even when she took these items to the front register, they gave her a better deal which meant she left paying a lot less than she had anticipated. However, the store itself was a little bit cluttered but still easy enough to navigate around. With the above average customer service, decent selection, and very reasonable prices on much of their merchandise, I am giving the Folsom "Snowline Thrift Store" an above average four stars.

I thought the store itself was decent. My comment is for the manager (Supervisor? Lead of some…read moresort...) I was in on Wednesday. Me, among other customers who were shopping, got to listen to an immature. Unprofessional rant from the lady apparently in charge. One of the employees father is dying, and they didn't come to work. "I don't care her dad is dying! You come to work! At least call!" Direct quote...to the other store employees. She then got on the phone to (apparently) her boss to rant about how she wants to terminate this lady who's dad is dying for not showing up.. (see? I know the whole story! A customer! Does this place not have a private office?) I don't do well with places who treat their employees that way...publicly on the floor no less! I'm apalled. The only one who should lose her job is that woman in charge!

I love this store! The manager and staff are very friendly and great with the public. Very…read moreenthusiastic, and they appreciate donations. Their proceeds benefit the Stockton Shelter for the homeless which is a very good cause. They offer very creative specials and deals, and many shoppers here are regulars. Clothing (and other departments) is always well organized; sizes are in the correct spaces. I heard that they were to close Feb 16 of 2018, but have not been there to see if it was true. If so, it is a great loss to Stockton, particularly those from here and other cities than enjoy shopping at thrift and second hand stores. They sure did a great job running this well-managed store at Hammer Ranch Plaza, for years. We donated household goods clothing, newspapers (for wrapping breakables) and plastic bags for years, and they were always extremely appreciative. I hope that all employees find good jobs elsewhere.

We purchased this ceramic planter today, and once we got it home and started removing the tags we…read morediscovered a large chip in the ceramic. The employee that covered it up used two price stickers, as the chip was too big to cover with just one. Very disappointing and highly unprofessional. Ironically, we had asked one of the long-time employees at the register if they still take donations of used items (as we saw the store had a lot of brand new items this time around), and she said in a condescending tone, "Well, yeah, but not if it's damaged or stained." Evidently, damaged donations that can be covered with a price sticker must be ok.

The people taking the donations were so rude. Specifically the older man…read more At first, he would reasonably tell us which items they couldn't take like air mattresses. Next, one of our boxes accidentally had paint on them, he gets it on himself, and he throws a hissy fit. He's like "I WON'T TAKE THESE THINGS" being impolite, not telling us the reason why, and shoving the items back. Mind you, the paint didn't get on the cups and plates we were donating. He then proceeded to barely look in the rest of our boxes, and also says "I won't take any of this." This guy needs to remember that he's not working at some high-end designer store. This store is meant for people who can't afford new items and want to purchase affordable, secondhand goods. Donations should be accepted unless there's an actual problem with them, and there wasn't one here. We had old items that could've gone to a new home like plates, cups, and clothes.

I hadn't been to the Salvation Army in San Rafael for quite a while because, honestly, I used to…read morefind the store very messy and chaotic. I started going back a few months ago, and I'm really happy to say that I've noticed a big difference! The store feels much more organized, and the team working there is always so nice, friendly, and welcoming. You can tell they really care about keeping the store as tidy as possible. I see them constantly putting things back, picking items up, and trying to keep everything in order. They really do their best, and I appreciate that. I do wish upper management would do a little more to address customers leaving things all over the place. I see items thrown on the floor or left in completely different areas all the time, and it must be frustrating for the employees to constantly have to clean up after people. It would be nice to see some rules or reminders encouraging customers to be more respectful of the store and the people working there. I also feel for the employees because the store has been incredibly hot during my recent visits. I'm not sure if the air conditioning is broken or just not working well, but it must be difficult to work in that heat all day. Despite that, the staff continues to be friendly and helpful, which says a lot about them. Overall, I really appreciate the changes I've seen over the past few months. Izzy and her team deserve a lot of credit for the effort they put in every day. I enjoy stopping in to look around, and I hope upper management continues to support this team and give them the resources they need to keep making the store a pleasant place to shop.

Yesterday, I was passing the Salvation Army in San Rafael and I decided to go in just to look at records. It was the most revolting time I've ever had anywhere. Even the "dump" store in Petaluma is far cleaner. This was a Wednesday afternoon, not a weekend after a hurricane from a mobscene of shoppers. I'm not sure I EVER want to go into that store again and risk buying something that has spent an unknown amount of time on the floor. Also, I won't be bringing donations to them either because they already have more going on than they can handle.
