    We had to dispose of an upright piano prior to a move, and I called around to 4 local junk…read morecompanies for estimates, including Got Junk. The other 3 quoted me in the 500 dollar range, understanding that it might change a bit depending on the labor it would take to get it out. Given that it was on the first floor right in front of an exit and on wheels, I wasn't that worried. When I spoke to the Got Junk woman, she did inform me that they didn't give official estimates on the phone. I told her I understood and, since we were on a time crunch, asked if she could give me a ballpark for what it generally cost for people to get rid of an upright piano? She said $450. Based on that, I booked them, recognizing it to be on the low end of the range the other companies had quoted. I figured that even if it went up $100, we'd still be in the right range. When the people arrived for our appointment, the person saw the "for sale" sign in front of our house and the first thing he asked was when we were moving. Then he looked at the piano and said "Oh, a big boy, huh?" Given that it's just a normal sized upright piano and not a baby grand, I knew we were in trouble. After looking at it for a minute, he started pointing at pictures on his clipboard, saying that it would be $650 for the base cost, plus X dollars for space on the truck, plus X dollars for an additional fee, and the whole thing came to $1,100!! We declined, voicing our displeasure in what felt like a bait and switch, and they went back out to their trucks. A few minutes later, the manager calls and says that he heard it was a "little high" for us. After pointing out it was more than twice the price, he said the woman shouldn't have given us a quote. I told them that is for them to figure out, not us. Plus, if the other junk companies were quoting $500, what possible reason could there be to charge over 1,000? He then said that the lowest they could do is $600-$650. While this sounded better, given that they dropped the price by almost half, it made me suspect (even more) that they were trying to take advantage. In the meantime, my husband was on the phone with a scrap metal collector who took it for $280. So we said no. Obviously, we didn't have the easy experience they claim in the commercials. It's not as simple as you point and they take. There is a lot of haggling involved.

    These guys had to climb 3 flights is stairs to reach the junk. They were quick and efficient. The…read moreprice was extremely reasonable.

    There are just so many good things to say about this place that I'm not sure where to start…read more First, it is not a "shelter" in the typical sense of the word, and the staff and guests do not refer to it as a "shelter". They consider themselves a "community", and act as such. There are NO lines for anything at the WLP. The women are served their meals at their tables by volunteers, and their materials are bussed for them once they are done, unless they choose to self-bus. The food. Oh heavens! WLP prides itself on serving nourishing, FRESH food. Each meal will have all nutritional requirements met, and there is always a veggie option. We're not talking canned goods or sandwiches here, folks. No, this is chopped and diced fresh veggies, prime cut meats, the finest ingredients. If you're a good cook and after you've volunteered a few times, they are happy to let you get in the kitchen and help whip up stuff. The resident chef there, Gina, is wonderfully creative in the kitchen (and very nice), and from time to time, other professional chefs from local restaurants come in to put together a meal. The WLP isn't jsut a food place, although that's the highlight of the day. It also provides the women with full time advocacy support to help with finding housing, food, or other services. There is a computer room/resource room that the ladies may use. There is also a nap room where women can go to get sometimes some much needed rest, and also a quiet room for just some peace, solitude, and maybe reading or reflecting. Women are also able to get various toiletries and clothing that they may need. They may do their laundry and take showers. The Program Manager, Heather (also very, very nice and competent) has done a great job of making sure that there are interesting activities for guests if they choose to participate: yoga, painting, field trips, knitting, etc. Since the WLP is run as a "community", the staff are INCREDIBLY patient with the women, and if a guest is being disorderly or breaking a rule, she is not immediately tossed out, but is counseled and given more than one opportunity to redeem herself by correcting her behavior. Throwing someone out is a last option at the WLP. WLP treats its volunteers as the valuable commodity we are. We are appreciated, thanked, and made to feel a part of the "team". Added Perk: They also have really incredible volunteer thank you events! I enjoy volunteering here. I learn something new and meet new people each time I go. I don't have a lot of spare time to volunteer, but when I do, the WLP gets me all the time, every time. It's important to know that this place could not be so great without us- the community at large supporting it through donations, volunteering, contributions, etc. The staff, Regina, Linda, Joanna, Lauren, Linnie, and Cheryl are terrific- go meet them! This is just a wonderful, wonderful place. You will not leave here without your heart being touched in some way.

    Just to add to the great review by Adrienne -- The Women's…read moreLunch Place is an amazing community run by dedicated and caring people. I've volunteered there many times, and the experience was wonderful. The staff is as open, kind and welcoming to volunteers as they are to their ladies. The ladies? Wow. Having the opportunity to really get to know some of the women in this community is a real blessing. The WLP is one of my favorite volunteer opportunities. Try it out!
