Quaint location, great customer service. Welcoming and helpful. Drop off in back area. Clothes, accessories, vases, DVDs, CDs, books. Well organized and displayed. Easy to see what they have available. Ample parking right in front with neighboring shops. Right off the 215 fwy.

Small location. 90% of the inventory is clothes. Glassware inventory is low and expensive.

An amazing community resource, Jacob's House exists to support families in crisis. Judging from…read morereviews and personal stories we hear, the mission is being accomplished. Our local hospitals are blessed to have this refuge for their patients' loved ones. May Jacob's House continue to bring peace and tranquility to our neighbors in need.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not just as guests, but as people in need of a safe, supportive space to breathe and regroup. The team at Jacob's House extended kindness that felt so genuine--it was as though they wrapped our family in a warm hug during a very heavy time. The home itself is peaceful and thoughtfully maintained, with every detail clearly designed to bring a sense of calm to families like ours. But beyond the physical comforts, what meant the most was the human kindness. The staff checked in on us, offered encouraging words, and created a space where we didn't feel so alone in our grief and uncertainty. It's rare to find a place that truly lives out its mission, but Jacob's House does just that. Their presence made a heartbreaking chapter in our lives just a little bit lighter, and we will always carry gratitude for the compassion they showed us. If you or a loved one are ever in need of a place to stay during a medical emergency in Temecula, know that Jacob's House is a sanctuary--one filled with heart, understanding, and hope. With deep gratitude, Nora

The interior is still in the same configuration and has remained organized. I noticed prices have gone up considerably but it is going to a good cause. I found more books. I love reading Sandra Brown, Tess Gerritsen, Dean Koontz, and James Patterson. I have a lot of time to read at my leisure since I'm now retired. The staff are so sweet & friendly and you can tell they enjoy being there. The nice lady checking me out was making commentary on my choice of books. One of the books I chose is a nonfiction book about the American ambassador to Nazi Germany. She said it was a fascinating read. Looking forward to returning & supporting this organization.

Thrifting for Gifting is a decent thrift store. I really appreciate how organized and cleanly…read morearranged everything is--it makes browsing much easier than at a lot of thrift stores. The prices are a little on the high side, but I understand that the proceeds go toward charity, so I'm okay with that. My biggest issue is the customer service. The staff can come across as unnecessarily rigid about small things. For example, if you set an item down on the counter while the employee is standing just a couple of feet away, you may be told to bring it over to a specific spot rather than them simply picking it up. Even something as simple as wanting to tap your phone to pay can seem like an inconvenience. I'm all for having procedures, but there's a difference between being organized and making customers feel like they're inconveniencing you. I'd probably shop here again because I like the selection and organization, but a friendlier and more accommodating attitude would make the experience considerably better.

Act 2 Rescue

I had a beyond expectation experience with Mindy and her daughter, even though at the end I didn't…read morechoose to go with the adorable and sweet boys Teddy and Khabib they brought for me to meet and interact with. Mindy provided a very personable, warm and extremely responsive service, made every effort to respond to my inquiry on Adopt-A-Pet and approving my application as well as just answering my questions and chatting with me about my potential cat baby's personality traits and his background story. She responded to emails as late as 11PM on a weekend and her demeanor was always welcoming and reassuring, like an old, caring friend. Mindy's words and actions convey that she truly truly love all of her rescued cat babies and she only wants what's best for them and she works extremely hard to find them good homes. I was very sad that neither cat babies from her rescue matched the particular personality I was looking for (I was trying to fill this big hole in my heart with the tragic loss of a stray cat named Cookie I cared for) and I really wished that given all the hard work she and her daughter put into, I'd adopt either Teddy or Khabib. Despite these big, affectionate sweet boys were not the best match I was searching for, I don't think any less of them, I sincerely hope they will find their forever home they deserve and I cannot be more grateful for Mindy's time, patience and understanding she's extended me and my family. If I had more capacity for an additional cat baby in the future after finding THE ONE, Mindy and her rescue is the first place I'd check out. If you are also searching for your feline soulmate, please look no further!!

Never heard back from them and we were ready to adopt immediately. Both myself and my daughter…read morecalled, (the "are too busy to care for kitties AND answer the phone, so please send a text"), so we texted, created an account online (because they want to know you're "actually serious" about adopting before you can even MEET the cat you're considering adopting.) (I do understand and respect prioritizing the mental health of the cats, but I'm sure the cats, especially the adults, would prefer a compromise, like being required to fill out a one page form on the spot before meeting). Every serious adopter that goes into a pet store and sees one of this organization's animals that they are interested in adopting and is told they have to go through this and this and this step before they can even interact with the cat and know if the personality is a fit. Everyone loses out. In my experience, even if you do go through all the steps, they won't call you back, and a cat that could have had a home I know had that opportunity taken from them because of the seemingly righteous or superior attitude of the rescue people. They surely know how many people go in and out of those cat and kitten rooms at the Animal Friends of the Valley shelter. Having a few people go in one at a time to meet one particular cat, I don't feel, is any more dangerous or unhealthy for the cat than them losing the opportunity to be adopted and eventually being put down. I just don't understand rescues like this. If you're too small to actually help, then let somebody else do it.
