First time visiting the Jacksonville area and we decided to stop by a Goodwill after doing some…read moreshopping at a local shopping center nearby. This location is a bit awkward to get into as it sits at a T intersection with a major street dead ending right into the parking lot of the location. So if you are pulling a trailer or driving a larger vehicle, you may want to park closer to the entrance of the parking lot to avoid getting stuck in the two lane parking directly in front of the store. Once you get into the store, you'll find that this isn't the largest Goodwill, with the majority of the space allocated to clothing. The furniture section in the store was somewhat limited, but did have a couple of bookshelves, entertainment centers, and couches. Same thing with sporting goods, housewares, and miscellaneous items. Not much out of the ordinary here. A lot of wake boards, beach accessories, and golfing accessories, as you would expect in North Florida. From a clothing standpoint, I didn't find much value here at all, despite the massive number of racks. I always use the men's suit section as a indication of the quality of clothing you can find, at least in the men's section. The suit section in this store was really challenged. I think out of 40 or 50 sport coats there may have been two suits with matching pants. And these were more in the Steve Harvey 4-button range. Definitely not anything a modern suit wearer would consider a value. Customer Service was good though. We did end up buying a small IKEA bookshelf and a vintage Ralph Lauren rug, which we purchased for less than $40 total. Definitely a location I would stop in if I lived in the area but not something that I would go out of my way to hit.

everyone needs to know that the CRM program and shelter is NOT what it's cracked up to be. I…read morestarted out first at the women's shelter and while I admit it was really nice to have a hot meal, shower, and a bed to sleep in there are many problems that they don't tell you about. First, there's no screening process for those who stay at the shelter except for hepatitis (which you have to have a card within 4 days clearing you). while good there's many other issues they don't screen for. They don't check to see if you're "clean" meaning if you have open sores or even body lice [which 5 people had while I was there] which could put others at risk for health issues. They also didn't check for drugs being brought in or even small knives -a lady in the bed next to me had a comb that concealed a knife - correct me if I am wrong but this is a danger to anyone including staff. Second, the showers.. yes, you can take a shower, however, your time for a shower is 7 minutes. This time IS NOT from the time you are in the shower...this 7 minutes starts as soon as you walk through the bathroom door. So, you are lucky if you get wet. Third, every piece of clothes that one takes off for the shower is thrown into a large trash can, which they gather to wash the clothes. ALL CLOTHES ARE WASHED TOGETHER IN ONE BIG WASHER. Now this problem goes back to previous statements all the clothes put together opens everyone up to the body issues (sores etc.) as well as possibly spreading STD from one person to another. off to the side of the shelter you see a big building which we were all told was the housing for those in the life builders program..along with some offices a clinic and bathroom. A few people went from the shelter to the program but I guess it didn't click as they ended up 3 days later back at the shelter. I went from the shelter into the program and I admit I had some expectations thinking I'd have a nice room to myself.. wrong. You ended up having close to 30 ladies confined to one floor! Everyone had to share rooms with others, showers and such. You basically could be using the bathroom and someone walk in wearing a bathrobe take it off and get into the shower in front of you...no privacy at all. Many described the situation as being a vamped up jail setting. Everyday you had classes you had to take which I have to say were a little odd and didn't really address the problem at hand which was the addiction everyone there was fighting. The "counseling" that everyone was required to have as well is NOT done by licensed professionals but by the instructors or even office workers. I can honestly say I didn't do shit when it came to counseling because I could tell from day one it was a crock of crap and everything you shared at any time was not private. Everyone knew your business. Oh and this is the most important information to know. They emphasize from early on that the life builders program is free and helps you save money to assist you when you leave. This is partly true HOWEVER as soon as you gain any type of income you have to repay them for everything they did for you. A better explanation of this... when I came into the program I had nothing to my name. I didn't know that I had gotten disability and found out while I was there. They sent me a check for 4,000,000 and I was really happy and wanted to put it into the bank right away...I WASN'T ALLOWED TO !! As soon as they became aware of this check I had to repay every cent of the program and pay rent for the room I was sharing with another person. Out of the 4,00,000 disability check after everything was taken out I saw only 25.00 dollars! Correct me if I am wrong but they had zero right to take money specifically for a disability I had. This is just downright wrong given that my disability affected movement and my ability to function daily. While I was there with all these ladies several were stealing from others and using drugs right in the open. Yeah we were tested but they found ways around it. The program is just a downright lie or scamming people so they can make money. It's not what it's supposed to be.

They asked if everything was freshly laundered, and if all sets were together to which I confirmed, yes, and they were. The older lady who checked me in only told me a couple items she was not accepting, and then walked off the whole process was 100% unclear on what was being accepted versus what was being declined. I 100% understand that they can't buy everything and everything is based off of current inventory and what they can sell fast so I want to assure anybody reading this review that I am not mad about them not buying my stuff. But I am mad about is the fact they didn't make their process clear and couldn't even treat me a little bit of human decency. I would like to thank Ren and the tall young boy with wavy brown hair and light eyes who helped me out to my car with the stuff, considering I was recovering from Surgery and I was already spent in this Florida heat. Those were the only two individuals who even treated me like I was a human coming into that store versus some piece of trash just trying to get money for crack or something. What really annoys me the most about this whole experience is of course they only took my designer boutique items, but I understand why but they didn't even take the complete set. They only took certain parts of each set, leaving me with a bathing hat, but they took the bathing suit or they took the dress and left me with the bloomers. If you expect me to keep all the sets together, and I have to go through all this work to make sure everything's together then you better take the entire damn set and not just half of it. They also didn't keep the sets together on the items that they did not accept. I had to go through everything again and pair everything up. Do not expect me to have the professional courtesy to do these things and then you can't even be kind enough to do it back to me. If I were a firefighter I wouldn't step foot in this place, even if it were on fire because absolutely screw these people Also wanna say they charge outrageous prices for clothing that has been very well loved.
