I am super irritated that this is the second time the Hope Chest has been picky about what they…read morechose to accept as donations. I am not donating poor quality items. The items are in great to excellent shape. My first experience with them as far as donations was when I needed a couch to be picked up. I heard they would pick up items. When I called they gave me the third degree and acted like it had to be brand new for them to pick it up. My couch was perfectly fine to donate and the family who received it was more than happy. Because in the end, I told Hope Chest to just forget it! They obviously didn't want my donation. Well, today I called ahead of time and the person I talked to said, "Make sure you don't have a truck load of donations right before closing!" She didn't say anything about them not accepting toys of any kind. I would not have wasted a trip. I also agree with some of the other posts, their prices are pretty high for a thrift store. Yes, sometimes the manager will work with you. But I don't like to haggle. I would rather just see a good/fair price, pick it up and take it home. I also wish they would have student/teacher discount day like some of the other thrift stores have. It would be nice. :)

I wish I had more time to go through the whole thing slower but not today. The service was busy for sure being half off everything. Last words...saved for another day.

The largest regional food bank in Sacramento. This organization has been serving the community…read moresince 1976 and will soon celebrate its 50th anniversary: check out my photos for the QR code and anniversary details! I came here to volunteer, and to my surprise, there were even younger kids participating. I learned that the minimum volunteer age is 10 years old. Some students were volunteering for school service hours, while others came through different companies and organizations. We joined the second shift from 1pm-4pm. The session started shortly after 1pm with a briefing and task assignments from the group leader. All tasks were explained clearly. The leaders checked on us throughout the shift to make sure we were doing okay and to see if anyone had concerns. Halfway through the shift, we had a 15-minute break, and one of the leaders brought ice cream to celebrate a volunteer's birthday and shared it with everyone. I thought it was a meaningful way to celebrate a birthday while helping a good cause. We actually finished around 3:30pm, and our shift completed: - 5,451 lbs of food packed - 474 boxes prepared for the "No Student Goes Hungry" program supporting students from elementary school through college in Sacramento County. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, and the facility was clean and organized. Restroom: clean, bright, and decent. If you are interested in volunteering, check out their website and register in advance.

Although not fun, there is one huge benefit to moving...being able to sort through a bunch of…read moremisplaced and forgotten stuff. Within all of this stuff, was a bunch of new and lightly used clothing. In the past I have donated clothing to my local Goodwill Express. However, I did some reflection and realized that all of the clothing that I donated was being sold for profit. Going forward, my intention was to donate to an organization that receives the donation(s) and distributes them to underprivileged individuals/families free of charge. Some research led me to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. Upon calling to verify their hours (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 10am-1pm and Wednesday, 4pm-7pm), I gathered all of the clothing and hit the road on a mission to make a difference. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a Sacramento Food Bank employee who eagerly began to load my clothing donations onto a cart. Since a lot of the clothing consisted of dress pants and dress slacks, he proceeded to inform me about a program called "Job Smart Clothing." Job Smart Clothing is a program within Sacramento Food Bank that provides career appropriate apparel for underprivileged individuals interviewing for employment or currently employed. How cool is that? I'm not a representative for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. However, I will say that they provide an awesome service to the community, and that a little donation goes a long way (individuals who benefit from their services often leave with 15-20 pieces of clothing per visit). Before you throw away that piece of clothing that you think is out of style or doesn't quite hug your curves the way that they used to, think about donating it to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services!

Animal Friends Rescue Project - Wishes, adopted inJune 2024.

I applied as a foster (never fostered a dog before) with AFRP in 2024. My experience was very…read moregood. I submitted an online application asking for a smaller dog and my preference for a poodle mix. They responded within a couple of days, as I recall, and asked a few more questions. After a few days, they contacted me with a possible match, explaining he was a senior poodle mix with a few medical issues. They work closely with Hitchcock Animal Services (county shelter) and had several dogs that had issues and needed a rescue with a strong foster program. They brought "Bernie" over, and I became a foster mom with full support from AFRP. They provided guidance and everything from beds/blankets to toys and even food! They provided the vet services to help Bernie be the best dog he could be. They invited me to various events (and even a TV spot!) to show off Bernie but unfortunately dogs with medical issues can be a little harder to get adopted. So after six months, I fell in love and became a "foster win" and adopted him. To this day, AFRP considers me part of their alumni family and invites me to activities such as local parades or fun events. They have a variety of dogs and cats, young to old, healthy to some having medical challenges, and work hand-in-hand with several shelters to help find fosters and ultimately final homes! I found their offices to be clean and functional, although if they were bigger, they could help more animals. I use Yelp frequently and know I make decisions based on reviews. I wanted to provide a positive and more recent outcome than some older comments which I feel are no longer applicable. The last note I will make is that as of 2024, they have new executive and support staff who are fantastic. So please consider discovering this great local rescue organization. AFRP have been around for a while but today, I find they are an excellent organization always improving on their processes and staff. So please GO FOSTER! It's fun, rewarding, and inexpensive. You get lots of love in return.

In 2019 I found the website for AFRP made an appointment to stop by and see the dogs that were on…read moresite and talk about having a visit with a possible dog in foster. I chose an adorable little dog named Oscar. Next was becoming "eligible", yes eligible, to take in a dog from a "rescue". A paid foster (her words) then brought Oscar to my home for me to meet and fall in love with. The foster mom was too busy on her phone and with her teenager to give me information. After waiting over a week for a response I was then told by a woman with AFRP I did not qualify! The AFRP inspector that had came over obliterated my house. Apparently there was nothing good about my house and a rescue couldn't possibly be homed here. A little bit about me; I am disabled and home 90% of my life. I decided to go to an actual rescue in Salinas, CA. Monterey County animal services. Where I was told I was an ideal candidate since I'm home all the time but perfectly fine to take care of a dog walks etc. I paid a total of $100 to Salinas Animal Shelter for my chosen dog (Piper) to have a full hysterectomy. Including putting a microchip and doing vaccines. After rescuing Piper I found out from Salinas Animal Shelter employees that AFRP procured all of the "most desirable" animals from Salinas Animal Shelter. Salinas Animal Shelter's requirements before adoption is spay or neuter microchip and vaccines before they will relinquish animals. Yet AFRP fees for me to "rescue" Oscar was over $300! They are not a rescue! They are a facility to purchase animals that have been procured from a shelter. I would never ever recommend AFRP to anyone and any person that mentions this facility I tell my story to. If you want to support a actual rescue go to Salinas Animal Shelter. Yes it's further away and far sadder than going to the plush AFRP site. Salinas Animal Shelter had puppies kittens senior dogs big & small. My dog is 9 pounds for those that say it's OK to buy a dog because small dogs are not in shelters. Since then I have had to lean on Peace Of Mind Rescue in Pacific Grove California. It would be impossible for me to give an adequate review. They have helped me financially, with Emergency temporary foster options and delivering & returning Piper to an emergency vet hospital for an MRI and spinal surgery several hours from my home. They are angels, please support Peace Of Mind Dog Rescue if you can! AFRP should not have the name rescue in their title.
