Went to this store the next day to pick something up and found one loveseat and the tv stand in the dumpster out back. Spoke to the manager who showed me a rip now in the loveseat that wasn't there before, and told me they didn't sell tv stands after having been told by the driver they did. He apologized but was dismissive and not accountable for the rip. Can't recommend this outfit and won't donate anything to them ever again. My intentions were to have these go to another home that could use them, but never did see the other items in the store.

This store presently (2017) has changed it's name to "Mission Thrift Store", but it still is the…read moresame great store. I agree with the other "5 star" rating. Staff are kind & friendly, selection is varied & nicely displayed, and they gratefully receive anything that anyone is lead to donate. They don't display or sell "junk"...but, their staff check out all electrical items & computers, and they probably receive some recompense for "recycling" some of the things that they don't sell. One can check out their online site to read about their mission statement, which is excellent. I wish their store hours were extended on Thur. & Fri. eves, but hey...these good folks are volunteers, so we adapt. Brides! Go see a large bridal dress area. Happy shopping, everyone!

Prices are higher than what you'd find at Goodwill, Value Village, other thrift stores, but remember that money goes towards a good cause. On the other hand, customer service is really notable. Always get acknowledged on my visits. Unlike the majority of retail stores, person at cash has always been chatted and friendly.

The Restore is a nice place to pick up used construction materials to finish a project and some…read morenewer items if you're lucky. I have found some great deals at the Restore but I find most items are way over priced. In my mind the Restore should price items to sell especially since everything has been donated for re-sale. That's all profit. I'm not saying the Restore should give the items away but to keep in mind the Restore is a Thrift store and should be priced accordingly.

Kitchen appliances, computer chairs, retro kitchen dining sets, crappy vintage floral couches, CRT televisions, stereos, desk lamps, ironic scenic paintings and BLINDS. Every student needs real blinds instead of those see-through bedsheets that are a peeping tom's dream-come-true. This place has all the furnishing you need to put together a student dwelling! If you're doing renovations, they have supplies like surplus tiles, light fixtures, even unopened cans of paint and caulking. It's a good deal, worth checking out and it all goes to a good cause. They also accept donations if you're moving out and don't have time to sell your furniture, etc.

Second Harvest is a fantastic charity that has been helping hungry people in Toronto since 1985…read more Second Harvest picks up surplus fresh food from food donors such as grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, manufacturers, and events and delivers it to social services agencies, such as shelters, food banks, and breakfast programs. Second Harvest depends on volunteers to help with deliveries, sorting food, and running events. If you would like to volunteer, you can sign up on the website: http://www.secondharvest.ca/volunteer/index.php. I volunteered at Second Harvest for the first time this week in both helping with deliveries and sorting food in the warehouse. Working on the truck was great because you can see firsthand the people who are benefiting from the service. It feels good to do something tangible to help people in need. The warehouse is a much more solitary activity, but there is a lot of work to be done to portion donated food, so it was great to lend a hand. The annual Turkey Drive is coming on Dec 6-7 and Dec 13-14, 2008. You can volunteer or help by buying a frozen turkey at participating Loblaws locations where volunteers will collect and deliver them to people in need.
