Goodwill tells you what you need, even if you don't need it! It's easy to find good deals at this location. I've found some of my best clothes here. However, I don't like the new face lift that they gave this place. It looked better before they renovated it on the inside! However, I highly recommend checking out this location.

I like Goodwill and other thrift stores, but the Goodwill Outlet has people who take a cart and…read morefill it with their things, then stand or sit around and wait for bins to they can buy more. I understand that many people buy there for resale, but it is hard for people who want to buy things, but have to hover like vultures around the cash register to get a cart when there are between 10 and 20 sitting with stuff in them. Maybe more carts is the answer?

I really love shopping at Goodwill on LR. This guy named Cameron always has a very great…read morepersonality. I noticed when I was in the store shopping he was always moving and helping other customers. I also noticed that he greets every customer that walks into that store. I am very happy to see that in a Goodwill.

I recently dropped off three 30 gal. bags of freshly washed clothing and bedding in addition to a…read morebag of hangers. The young man at the drop off entrance was very disinterested in assisting me in unloading the car. He was more interested in his phone. He did not even ask if I wanted or needed a receipt, which I did not, but asking me would have been courteous. I left feeling that neither my presence nor my donations were welcome. I will be taking furture donations elsewhere.

One of our vacations this year was to drive the entire length (469 miles) of the Blue Ridge…read moreParkway, starting in Cherokee, North Carolina and ending in Rockfish Gap, Virginia (near the entrance to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia). Unlike Shenandoah, which charges $30 for one week access for a private car, the Blue Ridge Parkway is free to drive. Unfortunately, the National Park Service's budget is insufficient to meet all of the programming and maintenance needs of the Parkway, and there is no dedicated source of funding from user fees. That's where the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation comes in. The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was funded in 1997, and is an official fundraising partner of the National Park Service. They provide support for initiatives along the entire 469-mile route, including historical and cultural preservation, environmental protection, visitor amenities, and education and outreach. For example, some more specific examples that we observed during our travels included, for instance: view-shed restoration (arborists oversee clearing of overgrown vegetation at viewpoints); traditional musician programming at the Blue Ridge Music Center; Mabry Mill complex repairs; Kids in Parks; and platform reconstruction at Mt. Pisgah. The Foundation has raised and implemented $22 million towards Parkway initiatives and programming since 1997. Having benefitted from their efforts, my husband and I decided to make a donation to the Foundation. That said, we first checked with the Charity Navigator, and found that their rating is very high at 99% or 4/4. Most (80%) of the rating reflects the Foundation's accountability and financing, but also leadership and adaptability (10%) and culture and community (10%).
