It's fun to browse and just look around. We both 5 gallons of great paint for a big deck painting project and it looks good 2 years later. My only complaint is that the prices have increased too much over the past 6-12 months. With the economy the way it is, increasing prices is not helpful for working families. Please re-consider these price hikes-after all, people are donating items to the store!!

I think i heard someone call him Will. I have been in the food line and overheard him heavily flirting with females in front of their boyfriends on 4 separate occasions. There is one in particular he has heavily flirted with in front of her boyfriend and even has gone as far as ask her out. Her boyfriend is one of the main volunteers there and I have seen staff target him on several occasions But I have witness them ban people if they lodge complaints against staff. He does not do this with the ones that are single. I have been going there long enough to know a few people and recognize most. If this is part of the new bible of which they preach, I dont want anything to do with it.

One little Tortie calico started cozying up to me. shy be willing. She looked like a kitten, so I made a deal with her. mind the rodent population in the barn and you can stay. not more than two weeks passed and I went to my bard to find 5 fuzzy little kittens staring at me. Who was the mom!? Not that tiny kitten I've been adopted by??? YES! They were indeed hers and another week later, she had gone and left them to me to care for! Of the Three who lived to be old enough to have spayed, I was able to get them treated on vouchers issued from C.F.A. And together we put the brakes on spreading the population and diseases. The three are thriving near and around my little minifarm. catching voles and rats and once in a while allowing me a full on cuddle session.

When a new employee came in nobody introduced me even though was standing a couple feet away. I introduced myself. Visitors came and even though I was standing next to employees nobody introduced me. I gave a beautiful flower vase for an auction and it was only on the web just a few days before closing. I was appalled at the photo uploaded. Gray, ugly and looked like it had a crack. I would have gladly submitted a photo if asked. I went to an artist friend and she donated an expensive painting. I went to local businesses asking about donations. When I told the community representative that I was not returning all she asked was if I could give some reasons to facilitate interaction with future volunteers. No concern for me at all. I have no idea about the reason for the disrespect. I did joke about hair picked up from the vacuum but mentioned it could also be dog hair. When an employee was leaving everyone was at the table. Just as a joke I asked "was it something we said"? She did not smile and said " it was you Judy"! Nobody laughed and I didn't know what to do. I still don't know what I could have possibly done. I saw a local festival with proceeds going to Concern for Animals. I would love to go but refuse to support an organization that treats volunteers this way.

Recently I've been seeing GRuB volunteers in my neighborhood building free victory gardens for low income neighbors. The victory gardens are raised beds that include soil and plants provided by GRuB and paid with community donations. I was talking to some of the volunteers in passing. It turns out that each garden is 'worth' $1,000 if you're including materials, labor, and gas to transport. I'm very impressed with how many neighbors they've been able to help.

Completely in agreement with the other reviews. Grub is an excellent asset to the community. I…read morehave now been there four times for classes, both cooking and educational. The kitchen is well equipped and well labeled. There is a five burner cooktop in the center island which is ample enough to handle most cooking tasks. It is a multi-use facility that provides space for classes for the local schools and outdoor programs dealing with gardening. It something can be grown in this climate someone at Grub can give you pointers on how to best grow it. They have programs for veterans, school kids and home gardeners, as well as programs where a home gardener can get a raised bed for a reduced price, and in some cases for free. There are programs dealing with local, native plants as well as other types of gardening, composting and most anything to deal with pest control and how to utilize your harvest. Grub is community focused and you know it after spending a very short period of time there. Grub is the kind of asset that any community would be proud to have.

They also like a good conversation so it was nice to talk and learn more about the town. At the time they were having a 50% off sale for the whole store excluding the $1 rack they had outside the store. (For a $1, it's already the best deal!) Out of that $1 rack, I was able to put together the cutest outfit and most were like new if not brand new. Also had a lot of nice brand and quality clothes. They have so many unique things for Halloween, and the coolest vintage jackets and bags. Will be my go to spot whenever I drive back down. There's something for everybody here!

One acupuncture visit with Shelby at Olympia Community Acupuncture turned my pain around. Shelby suggested a second visit a few days later, then once a week for a month. I'm grateful for the sliding fee, which made it accessible to make those appointments. I've only had to have 2 pain pills since these treatments. I could cry, the relief has been liberating. I'm also getting support for grief and gut health. Acupuncture is amazing and i really like this shop and the people there. Shelby is incredibly knowledgable, caring, and effective.
