They're also having a toy drive there so if you happen to have to toys, bring it along to donate if you plan to visit this location!

I used to only come here while waiting for DMV but with the addition of the good produce store next…read moredoor I'll pop in and pick up a treasure or 12. I am budget conscious so I can spend in other areas and save so if I can get things here at a fraction of the price I'm happy to. Plus it diverts things from landfills. Doesn't it feel good. The store can be disorganized. The store can be a mess. The staff are mostly friendly - Karen and Robert and Helen are the best! Jeans for $10-15. Tops for $5 Slightly worn cap for $5 Great! Can I complain about some stuff sure but why? Just come look around and see if you find your treasure. I didn't see that mean lady Glenda yesterday that was a win.

I have shopped -and donated- at this GW location for about 15 years, visiting at least every few…read moremonths and I'm pretty much done with shopping or donating there in the future. The experienced has degraded to the point that it's become pointless to visit. The pricing has increased but more remarkably, the quality of items has been significantly reduced, with most of what I see on the shelves and racks being a lot of overpriced crap and ugly clothes. I read on sfgate.com in an article dated March 18, 2026: (Why Bay Area Goodwills are sending truckloads or clothes to Arizona) that a national Goodwill organization took over our Bay Area regional organization so stores are now being run by a Arizona- Maryland multi-state organization. (Some regional Goodwill's are still run independently/locally like the Silicon chapter). While GW has for years sent all local donations to sorting locations local then sent tagged inventory to locations to put on shelves, I suspect that they are now skimming most name-brand and 'like new' goods to sell online and sell in other regions rather than stocking our local stores. One of the regular shoppers at the Fillmore location was quoted that they have noticed that the quality of their location's offerings has been so degraded so much they no longer bother to visit the store, despite previously visiting weekly for years. Thrifting has changed a lot over the past decade, especially due to the number of 'resellers' who buy items to stock 'vintage shops' or sell on EBay, but lately it's lost pretty much all of the appeal to thrift, especially at Goodwill. It's unlikely that I'll continue donating to Good Will in the future and instead will direct my donations to local charity shops where the goods will be more likely to benefit my own community, rather than supporting a huge organization from out of state.

Yesterday, I was passing the Salvation Army in San Rafael and I decided to go in just to look at records. It was the most revolting time I've ever had anywhere. Even the "dump" store in Petaluma is far cleaner. This was a Wednesday afternoon, not a weekend after a hurricane from a mobscene of shoppers. I'm not sure I EVER want to go into that store again and risk buying something that has spent an unknown amount of time on the floor. Also, I won't be bringing donations to them either because they already have more going on than they can handle.

Parking is super convenient with free street parking right out front. This place is a solid win every time I stop by. Highly recommend if you're in the area and love a good thrift find.

Always find something I like at a great price. Probably less stock than Goodwill or Flip, but I do love that you can try things on. I read some other reviews complaining about the prices, but I found jeans from Chico's and Macy's in perfect condition for 6 dollars each. Sounds like a bargain to me. I did four stars because it is smaller so there are not LOTS of quantity, but it would be 5 stars for cleanliness, organization of clothes, orderliness and easy to find sizes you are looking for, and again, being able to try them on.
