Workers always pick up your bins for you when you're done putting your recycling in as well and receiving your payment is quick and easy via check. Some say you lose more money by turning in recycling by weight instead of per bottle but those like me who just need to recycle and get out right away, this is your place for good value in experience while doing a tedious task. Workers deserve a raise. They work hard to make the process go as smooth as possible for all customers. Thank you for all your help. My family and I will continue to use Valcore as our main local recycling center.

At the time Braid was just kicking off and after having coffee with Rebecca and Chris (co-directors of Braid) and participating in an orientation I signed up. Fast forward four years and the relationships I have made with my co-mentors, group facilitator and our youth are some of the most meaningful ones in my life. I have had the amazing experience of being a part of of a young girl/tween/teen's life and my life is better because of this relationship. I also feel wholeheartedly that our youth truly loves her times with us and has had many experiences she wouldn't otherwise have had. Braid Mission is unique in that the mentors work as a team of three mentors and one facilitator. This has proven to be HUGELY helpful in having people to lean on and brainstorm challenging situations together. The relationships that I have with these other woman are amazing and I am so grateful to have them in my life. If you are looking to make a difference in a child's life and have an hour a week, I would encourage to reach out to Braid Mission!

Upon driving up you can't help but notice that their building is HUGE! It's as big as a Costco! Tons of trailers were docked getting filled up by the many volunteers. They even had a Amazon trailer at the loading/unloading dock. There were approximately 30+ volunteers. We all gathered at the picnic tables inside the warehouse. Coffee, Tea, and snacks were provided - nice touch. We all worked together to load many boxes of food that were sent on a rolling conveyor belt with volunteers all along it. I was a team of 2 that stacked the boxes on multiple pallets before a forklift driver whisked them away. It was so awesome to be apart of. If you ever have a chance to volunteer please do so.

They go above and beyond, not just in medical care but in how they treat people, too. Their services are affordable and provide tremendous value, especially considering the quality of care you receive. It's rare to find a clinic that combines professionalism, heart, and accessibility so well. I highly recommend Animal Fix Clinic -- and if you're able to, consider donating to support the amazing work they do for our community's animals.

It's no longer a dark and cramped museum of over-priced items that sit for literal years, gathering dust. It's now a bright, spacious, and dynamic place to shop and visit. The new owners (a young sister duo) have an incredible eye for pieces from every decade in the past 100 years. No matter what you collect - be it media, ephemera, kitsch, housewares, soft goods, lighting, home decor, clothing, jewelry/accessories, or furniture - you WILL find something that calls out to you for a price you can't resist. I especially enjoy chatting with Sam (the sister who happens to have been there each time I've visited) about our shared fascination with the stories behind, well, everything. There's just something about knowing where an object came from and who loved it first that makes it extra precious. Bonus: A cat museum - appropriate to the store name - is being planned. Stay tuned!
