The selection varies wildly depending on time of year, but there's always a nice selection of clothing. The concept of the free store originated with the Digger movement of San Francisco of the 1960s. They had a free store on Haight Street where soldiers on leave could walk in looking like a soldier and walk out looking like a hippie, then they would probably go AWOL and ditch Vietnam. Nowadays it's a great way to curb the awful waste of our culture through re-use. As the website says, you need to swipe your card to get into the building. If you can't find someone to let you in, you can call the store and they'll come up and get you.

I highly recommend the free "store"--especially at the beginning of the year, when all the stuff…read morefrom the seniors that moved out last year is still there.

While here, they had lots of traffic in and out for bike repairs. There were 3 volunteers working. Friendly people. We bought a bike for $60, a cushioned seat for $20, and new grips for $4. Well worth a trip in to see what they have or a bike repair!

I have used other lawn mower repair shops that were more local for me in the past, but by far, C&C goes above and beyond to be the best repair shop I have ever used. I highly recommend C&C to anyone that owns a lawn mower. My Dixie Chopper is running it's best and they will keep it running that way. Thanks, Donna, and group (sorry I can not remember the tech's name, but he was amazing - very knowledgeable and very helpful) for all you did to help me get up and running again! Mark M

Great community organization…read more They are probably most known for their fish fry in the spring. You can get perch meals to go every Friday. You drive up and order without having to leave your car. They are well packaged and come with everything you need. They have an Easter egg hunt for children. Lots of eggs filled with candy. Everyone there was friendly. Kids were also able to choose a toy. They also offer summer events, canned food drives for the community, a community garden and more. Side note - they collect used eye glasses as well that are donated to third world countries.

An excellent early childhood program. I volunteered here for Sociology credits and it was one of…read morethe most rewarding experiences of my senior year. The Reggio Emilia approach that this center takes is outstanding and really challenges the kids. It exposes them to the best aspects of learning. Teachers are taught not to just answer a child's question, but instead boomerang it back to the child - and ask "what do you think?" The answers are always smile worthy. The center's main goal is to encourage a child's crucial c's: curiosity and creativity. From pre-school yoga, to child-directed plays, and all the rest - the center bears all the markings of Oberlin. OECC also has an unbelievable art program, run by Jill Harris and others, harbored in three amazingly crafted buildings; allowing the children to explore their hands-on art talents through a clay room, wire room, and paint room. Probably the best aspect of this center is the diversity. There is a beautiful mixture of professor's children, single parents' children, and all the rest. A fusion of cultures and economic backgrounds. All the staff are excellent, really enjoy what they are doing, and communicate on a regular basis with each other and parents; helping build a phenomenal community. It takes a village to raise a child: a mantra taken seriously here - and it shows.

Here's the bad part about OECC: the wait lists to get in can be pretty long…read more That's literally the only bad part we encountered in the year+ that our kids were there (we started with our infant foster son and his toddler sister). The staff is super diverse and so are the kids who attend, the grounds are beautiful and huge, there's tons of space for the kids to run and play and the staff was consistently so attentive and thoughtful, not just of our kids but of us. Things I especially loved: -Big classrooms, lots of play space both indoors and outdoors -Regular chances for the kids to work with a garden and a REALLY big nature/grassy/play area outdoors (plus two smaller fenced-in areas for really little ones). -Sliding scale for folx with different incomes. -Incredibly good with communication and with working with us (one of our kids had unique health issues and OECC was wonderful with him) -Really open to feedback and flexibility (we had a few times where we gently asked for folx to refrain from touching/playing with our foster daughter's hair and they were totally understanding and it didn't become a Thing) -They provide meals themselves and they're well-rounded, and you get documentation for toddlers and babies of what/how much they ate. Honestly... I could go on and on. As foster parents, our kids sometimes need a bit of extra help or have more appointments/visitors than most kids, and OECC was wonderful in working with us and with the folx involved. We would love to have kiddos go there again someday if there was need and we could find an open spot, and I genuinely can't recommend them enough!
