We love that WINGS supports women and children. So, when we have things to donate, this is usually…read moreour first choice. I don't think I've ever been in their retail store before, but have dropped off goods many times over the years. We're purging our house of 20 years of accumulated stuff. When you arrive, they have a door for dropping off donations. We've given them clothes, nick-nacks, paintings, glassware, and more. They take everything with a smile. We'll continue to drop off merchandise as we have it. And, perhaps next time we go I'll stop into their store. The reviews are certainly good.

WINGS Resale is my favorite donation center in the area. They take all types of donations from…read moreclothes, shoes, handbags, accessories, home decor, furniture, and more. It's easy to drop off donations at their back door which is separate from the store entrance. All items are organized, priced, and resold in the store. Walking around, resale items are very fairly priced and in good condition. Their profits from the store go toward supporting families fleeing domestic violence. What a great way to give back and help those in need! Donation Hours Daily: 10am - 5pm* Tip: They have locations in Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, and Niles. Pro Tip: Check out their daily discount specials before heading over to browse their great selections.

I would've given them five stars years ago but the pricing and point system makes it a three though if I could I'd give it a 3.5 Still recommend trying it out though! Great book selection always!

Why are items on the floor if you won't sell them? I have…read morespent hours in this store searching for an item only to find it has no price tag. The staff then refuses to sell it to me, stating they cannot because it's unpriced. This is a terrible policy. If an item is on the floor, it should be available for purchase, and the store should be able to quickly determine a price. By turning customers away, you are losing easy business. Frankly, I know the second I leave, that item will be put back out with some randomly chosen, overpriced number on it anyway. The refusal to make a sale over a simple missing tag shows a serious disregard for customer time and loyalty.

I really hope the people who run Anderson Humane read this review because I want to plead with them…read moreto give up this insane philosophy of keeping every animal alive no matter what. We adopted our cat 11 years ago from Andersons. She had been born in the shelter and was never adopted (until we took her home). She has extreme anxiety and never socialized in all those 4 years with other cats, nor do I believe humans very much. When we saw here there, sleeping with her chin on her LITTER BOX (which of course cats do not like, to sleep next to their own waste), acting very afraid and skittish. My husband went to pick her up to put her in the carrier and they quickly hustled her away from him, I'm sure because they didn't want us to see her feral behavior. I know you think you're doing a good thing not euthanizing any animals, but let me tell you from what I've observed: there are many things in life worse than death, and living in torment for 4 years is one of them. In addition to this woefully inadequate first 4 years, our cat has developed lifelong Chronic Rhinitis from a virus she picked up in her institutional life. She is 15 now and for about 3 or 4 years she has not played at all from fatigue--I've had older cats that play until they're way older than that, so its not just age. Because of her early institutional life, she is semi-feral--she has NEVER sat on our laps, she is impossible to give medication to, she struggles so severely if she is held, I'm afraid she'll dislocate something. Because of this, the only treatment she can get for her Chronic Rhinitis is antibiotic shots, and they have stopped working. I wish you could hear her struggle to breathe every night through her stuffed up airways. I fear she is in a constant state of agitation and anxiety caused by her breathing difficulty. At the very least she is definitely not living her best life: she should be playing, sitting outside under her favorite bush to watch the birds, and visiting us while we watch a movie at night- none of which she does anymore. This all comes down to your decision that keeping all animals alive at all costs is the best decision. A painless and humane euthanasia is a millions times less cruel and barbaric than insisting that your religious and/or philosophical ideology trumps all other considerations. This cat has suffered a lot because of *you*. If you work at this place, please reconsider your outlook and ideology. Making an animal without a voice suffer for years is sadistic and weird, especially when euthanasia causes no pain or distress. Are you really doing this because its what's best for the animal?

I visited here with a friend who lives not too far from Stillman and was eager to check it out…read more The parking area is small, and the whole experience reminded me of a 'self-guided' type of thing. We did not see a single person working there despite many raptors in their enclosures. They all were listed as being injured and unable to survive if returned to nature, so kudos to Stillman for taking care of them! We hiked most of the trails on the map and enjoyed the hike. Some of the trails were less clear, and we assumed we were on the trail, but they are not always well-worn and obvious 'trails'. We made it out of course, but at times we may have wandered off trail and somehow re-connected and not even realizing we left the trail. We enjoyed the bird-blind on one of the ponds and saw some migratory ducks diving into the water. I can't remember what they were, but they are only here in the Spring and Fall. Very cool to see. The trails of this nature center take you through some degraded areas - lots of buckthorn all over and some tall mono-culture 'prairies' of invasive non-native grasses. Lots of phragmites in some areas. We did see a recent burn scar from a brush pile, so they are at least trying to control the non-native buckthorn! This nature center is not perfect, but I am very glad it is here! I recommend to any nature lover in the area check it out. Stillman is only open 2 days a week, but they have many programs on their schedule for nature hikes and bird-watching experiences. This is a nice little patch of nature!

The volunteers bring raptors (birds of prey) out for people to have a close-up experience with and ask questions about them. Stillman Nature Center is about 80 acres located in South Barrington off of Penny Road. They offer multiple nature experiences from walks to education to birdwatching year round. It's run by volunteers and it's a great nonprofit. Everything is made from nature, whether it's the enclosures that the rehab birds live in to the seats which are made of stone out in the forest areas. you can't help but fall in love with nature in this beautiful setting. The volunteers are always willing to answer your questions and no question is foolish. They're so well educated and make you so much smarter when you leave Stillman. Check out the website at stillmannc.org Do not hesitate to come and bring the family. There's so much to see and appreciate there.
