I go often so I catch the inventory as it cycles through. The work they do to help veterans get into housing and do repairs is just an added bonus. I arrive at times when the donation truck is being unloaded and have never seen the staff picking out items before they hit the floor as has been mentioned in a prior review. The comment may have been made but having been in the store so often it doesn't not appear to happen. This is one of the best organized and clean stores I visit on my "thrifting" and bargain hunting shopping days. Its a hidden gem that is a great find for people in need of furniture, appliances and home decor. They have some really up scale pieces for a good value!

I am a graduate student at the University of Texas at Arlington. I worked here last year as a…read moresocial work intern. I worked from January to April of 2023. I worked in the Information Center (IC). I barely learned anything about social work. Making phone calls and providing people resources for shelter is the ONLY thing I learned. I spent all of my time in the IC giving clients their mail, badges, unclogging toilets, toilet paper, baby products, hair care products, cleaning products, and over the counter meds which has nothing to do with social work. My field supervisor (Brandy) told me and my field liaison that I was going to learn about intakes in March, and then she turned around and said that I will be learning about intakes starting in June. My field supervisor terminated me in April and claimed that I was not upbeat, had poor social skills, and depressed. I regret discussing my depression and what I was going through at home to employees, and I had no idea that you could get terminated for that. But see, I never worked before, and so I am new to the workplace. I regret telling people who I don't know about my personal life, and oftentimes, I have a habit of ranting and getting things off of my chest, but I still believe that I shouldn't have gotten fired over that. It's whatever, I guess! My positive attitude and work ethic are what matters. I also noticed that I was the only social work intern who did not get a chance to learn about case management, and I believe it's due to the fact that I am Black. One of the directors (Misty) said that I looked depressing and intimidating. I should have reported her for saying that to me because her comment about me was very disrespectful and bigoted. Employees and interns in the IC should NOT be handling client's prescribed medications. Samaritan Inn needs to be reported! I was kind, respectful, and worked hard. I worked so hard there for no pay, and what did I get? Nothing, but a stupid thank you card in the mail. Ridiculous! Please DO NOT come to this place. You'll definitely regret it.

Worst shelter I have ever ever been to. I had my personal belongings thrown in the trash. While I…read morehad to relocate out of state. And I did keep in touch with this shelter in Greenville Texas. Crystal Johnson the Director never ever notify me that all of my deceased fathers pictures including my tax information would be trashed. I kept in touch. And no one never ever notified me about it. And I even left a phone number for anyone at the shelter to call me. Pictures are MEMORIES and you can't get them back. Because I had no negatives to have them reprinted. I only had the original pictures. For you ladies who have nowhere to go. Please do not go to Women In Need. Because they will NOT help you with nothing. The Director is lazy, rude, and she's the only one that trashes all of her clients personal belongings regardless even if you communicate about any difficult situation and circumstances you are having she will still throw all of your belongings without notifying you. As many times I have called and left messages she not once never ever called me. This is why I wanted to write this and make aware of anyone out there to reconsider about going to Women in need Shelter. I would hate knowing that this will happen to the next person. I will be contacting BBB about it. I pray that this doesn't happen to anyone in the future. And find a better caring shelter rather a shelter who doesn't care about your needs nor our traumas as a victim of domestic violence.

I reached out to Operation Once in a Lifetime seeking assistance and unfortunately left the…read moreinteraction feeling deeply uncomfortable and concerned. My point of contact was Patrick Sowers. One of the biggest red flags was being asked to send copies of my DD-214 containing sensitive personal identifiable information directly to a phone number. At no point was it clarified whether this was a secure work device or a personal cellphone. I was never offered a professional email address or secure document portal, which I found highly questionable given the nature of the documents involved. While I complied in an effort to move the process along, I was not comfortable doing so. In my experience, reputable organizations handling veterans' records typically have clear procedures and safeguards in place for transmitting sensitive information. Beyond the privacy concerns, the conversation itself was frustrating and unprofessional. Instead of feeling heard, I felt repeatedly invalidated, challenged, and put on the defensive regarding my own experiences and concerns. The interaction came across as passive-aggressive and unnecessarily contrarian. I also found it inappropriate that examples of other veterans' personal struggles were repeatedly brought into the conversation as comparisons. I contacted the organization for assistance with my own situation, not to hear about or be compared against the hardships of others. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. What should have been a supportive interaction instead felt judgmental and disrespectful. Trust and professionalism are critical when working with vulnerable veterans, and unfortunately I did not experience either here. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage others to exercise caution when sharing sensitive personal information and to ask questions about how documents are being stored and protected before sending anything. Patrick Sowers is a fucking moron.

They have a Holiday Adoption event, numerous times where you can volunteer to help with certain events they are running throughout the year, an ACO Annual Silent Auction (which includes wine & appetizers), and countless numbers of specific events to donate to if you do not have time to volunteer. The best thing I love about ACO is your money ACTUALLY GOES TO HELP A CAUSE. How many times have you donated come to find out that only $.10 of your $1 went to help someone? With ACO, this doesn't happen. Make your donations count! With an organization like ACO, mine do.
