I visited Shelter Ministries Thrift Shop today, and what a disaster. NOTHING had prices on it. I…read moreasked a volunteer about the prices, and she tried to help but said she wasn't sure because she was new. I understand being new, but items should absolutely be priced so customers don't have to guess. Another thing I noticed while looking around is how extremely small the shopping area is. The building itself is huge, and I know the entire layout because I've been there before it became a thrift store and food pantry. It's surprising that such a tiny portion is actually used for the store. Now let's talk about the pricing. Pants are $5.00 each -- for used pants. Shirts and pajamas are $3.00. Kids clothes are $3-$5 depending on what you pick. Socks are $1.00 a pair... for used socks! And then there are the used undergarments. VERY used underwear and bras are $3.00 EACH. Used. Most of them showed extreme wear. That's honestly shocking. The store itself is extremely disorganized. Nothing makes any sense and there is no clear system to how things are arranged. Items are placed everywhere with no rhyme or reason. It's so cramped and packed that only one person can comfortably shop in an area at a time. Another thing that really bothered me: while I was there, four volunteers were going through donated items and setting certain things off to the side that they were planning to take home. So if you donate to this thrift shop thinking everything will go back to the community, just know that some items appear to be getting picked through first. Overall, the place felt chaotic, overpriced for the condition of items, and poorly organized. It really needs better pricing, better organization, and much better use of the large space available.

love this place so much, they have a color code system for prices and I enjoy the lady the works…read morethere very much she is so sweet! one of my fav places to go to spend time looking around!
