Serving hearty, made-to-order breakfast and lunch fare every Thursday - Sunday from 7am - 2pm, every cent earned will be used to support The Joy Bus, a local charity that's been bringing chef-inspired meals and caring conversations to cancer patients Valley-wide. I ordered a grab bag of 5 ready to go meals through the Too Good To Go App to try something new. I got beef barley stew which was a great tasty quick meal for dinner and some enchiladas for lunch today. Simple and perfect. They have a plant stand inside and plenty of seating. Busy little area.

Per my usual, I tried the chilaquiles. I forgot to request the brisket and I really feel that addition would complete the dish. The chilaquiles were crispy, dipped in a red sauce, on a small bed of beans. The egg was nicely cooked. The one thing I did not enjoy was that they were cold. I would go back and try something different. The biscuits looked amazing. Service was very friendly and professional. The morning we visited was early and was not very busy. I'm not sure if it would be a loud environment on a busy day.

The staff was super friendly both times and I was also in awe at how clean the building was. Shout out to Barbara, the volunteer who spent time with me and my kids during our recent visit. She was amazing with answering our questions and not pressuring us even though we fell in love with the pups we looked at. We are close to being ready to adopt another puppy and when the timing is right, we will definitely look to Almost There to do so. To all of you at Almost There Rescue - huge thanks for taking such great care of the many mama dogs and pups, and for finding them forever homes. Also - keep the puppy pics coming on social - they always bring a smile to my face and so many others.

It was basically 90% puppies and 10% yoga, but honestly, the puppies stole the show.

I would go back in a heartbeat--and now I'm dreaming of having my 40th birthday there!

I was interested in learning CPR and first aid, so I took the Adult CPR/AED/First Aid class ($88)…read moreon Saturday from 9 to 3. The classes are held in a training classroom of the Red Cross building (see photos). Our instructor was Johnny, who came up from Tucson to teach the class. The morning was occupied with CPR/AEG training. A couple students who only needed certification in that left at that point. After lunch we did first aid for the next hour or two, and those who signed up for Adult training (including myself) left, leaving only a few students who also signed up for Pediatrics. I can't say enough good things about Johnny, our instructor. I had anticipated long dry lectures, and struggling to keep my eyes open. Instead, he was casual, humorous, and obviously very knowledgeable about the subject matter. The only drawback is the large amount of material covered.

I was initially taken aback by the entry of the shop. They had a coffee shop and a large sitting area. I also saw stairs, so I assumed this would be a multi-level thrifting experience. We moseyed around the area just past the coffee shop and found lots and lots of glassware. Dare I say too much glassware? The linens and trinkets sections were disheveled with a handful of visibly broken items sitting on the shelves. The main area of the shop was more visually pleasing and was a bit more organized, but we remained underwhelmed. The biggest disappointment, however, was that the upstairs was restricted to employee access only. We were so disappointed that there weren't more thrifty treasures to be uncovered. The exterior of this shop was deceiving as we thought it would be massive, but it was actually quite small. Bummer!

I had recently been sheltered at cast, which did have amenities, but not as decent as JustaCenter. I was able to take a shower in privacy. I was able to access the Internet privately for me that was the outside world of resources. Was able to have mail services, have a healthy snack and a lunch as scheduled, able to sit and rest inside or out within a wonderful area sat enclosed in private. Many times i could look up at the beautiful sky and appreciate things as they were- only there seemed for me i could do that. Have my laundry done and folded for me in small batches weekly. This is a place with schedule and time frames and it was exactly the type of routine regimen i needed schedule throughout the day that kept me focused intact. I could keep my goals and make them in more of an orderly fashion than just an average homeless resource way. I admire their crew. The coordinators that operate there are fine people. It showed to me. I shared a need /extraordinary goal that I had to accomplish and I did through Justa Center. I will forever be grateful. I'm so glad that there's a place like that on earth. Homelessness was a very unexpected experience of mine in my life at the time to say the least, I felt human being an added as a member of the Justa center, instead of the demise of a place like Cass shelter. Conveniently it was located but a few blocks away. That place is definitely deserving of great contribution. I couldn't compliment enough on the coordination that happens because of the people there that run the place from top to bottom. I personally had a life-changing issue that I had brought attention to a coordinator there at Justa Center. Through staff and all that work there together, they made that change happen for me. I am ever so grateful, may be someday I'll be able to contribute in the same way. Leilani

The Quality I received was throough, as I got help getting off the street. I think they liked my dog, as they took care of him first. Shots, License, check-up. I love Justa Center as they are perfect for getting help when you are homeless. It has been close to 3 years, and I am getting ready to go homeless again, as I am having surgury in the next week, and cannot work to pay my rent. I need more help, this time with a pro bono lawyer about my past that stops me from getting a place I can actually afford. It has been over 23 years, and I still have a record that says 'just live in your car' and my record is really old and now the drug is legal. I will go back to Justa very soon, as soon as I can get some add'l gas to get there. Thanks Justa!

What they do ask of you is to respect others, be cooporative around others, as well as being honest about your personal feelings, about yourself, and others. Honesty seems to be their directive they try so hard at offering to everyone that stays. Like the old saying goes, " What comes around, goes around. ". They spend a lot of time H. E. L. P.ing everyone with their problems they might have, if one occurs. Very nice people. Very cooperative and correspondent towards everyone. A lovely set of attendants, security, and staff that are on-call 24/7. The people that stay here are trust worthy, safe and also loving. . Beautiful place. Rooms are very spacious. The people are very comfortable to be around. The grounds are well kept. I would say A $1,000,000¢ dollar business, easy. But, I would definitely consider one thing. This Is A facility that H. E. L. P.'s people to all standards of Living, so putting A price on this place would be uncalled for. They need real support from business's that like to HELP others. They need HELP from organizations that are into supporting places like this, and they also need HELP from People who have belief support, that, families who have broken family members of some sort of living conditions that aren't very up to standards at first, but, can be rehabilited and given A second chance to at least try to support themselves with help from people like these people who really do make A difference IN one's life, so they can have A place to call their own, I think IS A real blessing and should be well kept reasons as such. It's really hard to get help In this world, and, places like this really make A difference In ONE's Life. I would honestly say, " This IS one of the safest places to stay and comfortable place to rebuild your life. They don't ask much. The expectations are easily lived UP too. And as for the staff, Security, And Attendants. A great set of people. Can't beat'um. I hope everyone who stays here enjoys themselves and remembers one thing.
