Maryland Food Bank thrives off of weekend volunteer hours for packers in their conveyor belt area to box canned goods and boxed foods as they'd otherwise have to bill these hours to payroll. I enjoyed myself and even got in a little cardio as the belt moved more and more foodstuffs through. I was in charge of canned veggies and boy were there lots of them.

We were greeted by 3 staff members (apologies I don't remember their names). I initially thought this was just a venue to smash stuff but it was explained that this is a mental health venture aimed at spiritual healing. After signing the waivers and donning our PPE, we went in. The wooden structure isn't huge so you cant get running starts or make any long over hear arm movements, but it ended being just the right amount of space to get your smash on. Initially I was caught up in the novelty of smashing things, but a point in time came where that novelty faded and I found myself tapping into an aggression and emotion I did not go there with. It wasn't until I stood there out of breath with my hands sore that I truly understood what this place was for. That session provided a space and avenue for me to truly let go, for just a little bit. If you haven't done that recently (or ever), you need to book a session to understand what im talking about. A challenge was issued to me to put in work on the water heater and I made a decent hole in it but that thing was tough. They sure don't make em like they used to.

Great experience at Remix Rage Smash Room. I visited a few weeks ago based on a Groupon that I had…read more The staff was extremely helpful in organizing my session and preparing for my appointment. The site was well furnished with safety gear (goggles, gloves, etc.), tools (bats, sledgehammers, etc.) and objects to smash (microwave oven, water heater, glass bottles, etc.). It was stress relieving and fun with the opportunity to damage and destroy inanimate objects in a normally civilized world. I definitely recommend if in the DMV area.

He did not call. At 5:30 pm as we were leaving the house he showed up, no apology, and just as we were preparing to leave. They serve indigent clients and yet they turned up his nose at many of our pieces and rejected them because there was a stain on the wood or a knob missing. I was shocked they would deny poor people items for such trivial reasons. Overall not impressed with the lack of courtesy or appreciation. I'll go with Goodwill.

This review is based on my online experience of winning an auction item on shopgoodwill.com that…read morecame from the Goodwill of Greater Washington, in Forestville, MD 20747. I indirectly got the idea of reviewing items that I purchased online from my fellow Yelper and Yelp mentor, Britt Z., as well as one of my newest fellow Yelper friends, Edwin C. of Chicago, IL., who posted a tip for Jimmy John's that he posted to every chain of the franchise, or so it seemed to me. Thank you to both Britt Z. & Edwin C. for teaching and showing me what is possible to do on Yelp. I have been a little frustrated since COVID-19, as I am not going to many places and have definitely cut back on my activity and reviews. Now, I have a whole new way to Yelp, and I cannot wait to get this party started again. I have been an avid shopgoodwill.com shopper for the last 6 years. Word to the wise, Goodwill posts the best of what they have online. The quality of the items available online greatly exceeds what is available in their stores. This is true of every Goodwill store. I have actually bought just about everything you can image from them online. Pottery, including high end artisan made pottery (one of many things I am passionate about collecting), jewelry, clothing, artwork, sculptures, uncommon collectible plates (although they sell the common ones as well), shoes, and assorted home decor. I could go on and on here. They even auction off cars! I actually decorated my entire apartment buying stuff from here. The prices really ranges, and I should stress that most of what I purchase are auctioned items. There are opportunities at times to purchase items for a "buy now" price that is higher than the auction amount, and I have done that too, but rarely. I like the auction process myself, and I am quite good at it, even if I have to say so myself. Wink, wink! Just keep in mind that before bidding, you should check out the estimated shipping and handling costs. These can really vary, and this is especially true if the item is oversized and/or heavy. That said, there are also items that are pick up at the actual location as well. This is not happening as much during the COVID pandemic and many stores (depending on the state, etc.) are not allowing anyone to enter them currently. I have paid more in shipping than I have for an item, but again, that is a very rare scenario. Also, keep in mind, these are items you are acquiring from a thrift store chain, and will likely require cleaning. It has been my consistent experience that as good as things look online in the pictures, that they look dramatically better when they show up. One caveat, to that remark, is that fragile items sometimes do not survive shipping. However, you can contact a customer service via their website and have your money refunded in full. Only once in all my years of shipping on shopgoodwill.com did one Goodwill store not refund my shipping costs. And yes, I was miffed. But now, I know to check out that policy for each individual Goodwill store. Lesson learned, Now to get to what I bought directly from this particular Goodwill store. I bought a dicrotic glass American Indian Raven brooch/pendent that I received today that is knock your sock off gorgeous in my opinion. I am afraid my picture does not do it any justice but, I will attempt to take a better photograph of it. The colors are incredibly luminous which is a large part of what I love about dicrotic glass items. It is made by Essential Glass Works and sold at the Essential Art Gallery & Fine Gifts of Moscow, Idaho. I paid $9 for the item and another $9 for shipping and handling. I can tell you from countless years of high end craft show attendance and browsing that dicrotic glass is extremely expensive. Being obsessed with American Indian culture and mythology, this was a no brainer for me. I am going to wear it both as a pin and pendent and enjoy it for many years to come. If you have not been a thrift shop shopper, now is a good time to dive in. These are financially hard times for most of us. Unfortunately.
