My daughters and I recently volunteered with their school at Mitzvah Circle Foundation on MLK Day…read more I was so touched by this organization which helped 45,000 people, including over 2,000 children with developmental issues last year alone. I really enjoyed not only meeting, but hearing what founder Fran had to say about her original plans for her non profit organization (which grew tremendously over the last few years), as well as their mission, and how the process exactly works. She told touching stories of those she has helped and it really inspired me to do more! I really liked knowing that our time was really needed and our donations were headed to the appropriate places. I love the fact that The Mitzvah Circle creates individualized care packages. They aim to satisfy the personal needs of each and every family/person on a one on one basis. Whether it's school supplies, outerwear, educational toys, pajamas, or sturdy shoes, they will do their best to send seasonal, correctly sized items with each package their volunteers create and deliver. They have many ways you can help... -Donating very gently used items on weekdays. Their motto for donating clothes is "if you wouldn't put it on your child or wear it, don't send it". They noted the item we bag up and send may be the nicest article of clothing they have. Good to keep in mind. It definitely makes this Mama feel a lot better about some of those pricier items we part with. They accept all sizes, all season, all genders. Shoes are definitely an item they don't have enough of! Send 'em!They ask that you call or email before dropping off so they can be sure someone can help you unload your goods. They did say email is the fastest method of communication. -Donating a monetary gift through their site. That money will be used to purchase diapers and baby soap. (They are the ONLY organization which provides diapers to families in neeed! They also send out 500 bottle of baby soap every 2 weeks!) -Volunteer. There are many days to lend a hand. I posted a photo of upcoming available dates of service. Often groups, schools and business come together and select a day to help out too! Contact them if you think you may have a larger group interested in helping out! Volunteering was rewarding and easy. They are a very organized and well oiled machine. My children ages 5&7 had no issues helping out. They really enjoyed bagging the 5 toiletry items as well seeing how fast they could help us separate the garments by size into appropriate bins. Everything was explained well and we accomplished a great deal in our 3 hour slot. I've already been bagging up some goods to take up there. If you are looking to give a bit more in whatever way you can this year, I couldn't recommend this organization any more! I was happy to be a part of it and look forward to working with them a lot more!

Absolutely lovely and kind people who run this charity organization. I had the opportunity to meet…read moreFran Held who is the founder and executive director. She gave me a tour of their warehouse where they sort and ship donations to those who need then the most but cannot afford. These include school supplies for deserving kids, shoes, toiletries, food, books, etc. I was so impressed by this kind-hearted lady and appreciate the amount of effort and dedication it takes to run such an organization. So glad to be able to chip in with what I can to help those in need through this organization.

This chain of thrift stores to benefit Habitat for Humanity is a worthy cause, and fills a niche in…read morethe thrifting market, bridging the gap between household goods and furniture (which are typical of most any thrift store), and the housing structure itself. Every ReStore will be a little different as its inventory is dependent upon its community donations, but the general store model is to have dedicated ongoing Home Depot clearance section for a good portion of the store. The Phoenixville store, like others, will be hit or miss on what you need. Yesterday I needed prehung exterior doors. Called ahead and they claimed to have some, but they had zero. I took a pretty thorough look around and posted a lot of photos. I bought some small items for an art project but otherwise it was wasted gas based on them claiming they had what they didn't have. Good cause, and if you are remodeling one room, or trying to fix or replace something in your home, you will probably have good luck here (or at another nearby location), but if you own a rental property, have new construction, are doing a major reno, etc. and need bulk stuff, you will be out of luck. Flooring and tile are in "leftovers" batches of one or two rooms worth, if that. If you check these stores' social media, you will see new arrivals if a supplier donated a larger quantity, but if you have a time limit on your job, you can't rely on them to have something in stock as you need it. I couldn't even get a door, which they claimed to have, so take phone calls with a grain of salt. Prices are okay, not amazing. The 5-gallon paint at this store is $75, while same stuff at the West Norriton store is $90, so watch out among stores.
