    I am addicted to thrift stores. I love the thrill of the hunt. I am bored with just shopping at the malls. I love to treasure hunt unique items you find in thrift stores and its also fun to find something you just saw at the mall for $$$ for a few bucks at the thrift store. The store has gently used treasures and i hardly ever walk out empty handed. They even have sales on Thursday morning from 9am-15pm for 25% off. The parking lot is large and convenient though it can get quite busy and the lot can get full especially during the sales and on weekends.

This partnership was vital, and very much appreciated by all because it helped improve food access throughout our community at wellness fairs and nutrition classes. Thank you for your hard work! I will never forget about the huge difference Food Share continues to make in countless lives throughout Ventura County, and the value they place on equity.

SO needed in our community…read more I love that it has SO many things for littles: They offer story time & bubble dance parties, dress up costumes, A play cafe & farmers market shop, A "camping" area, A sensory garden space, A "dig pit" with fossils, Water tables, A baby area with blocks & board books, And for the bigger kids- There's fun climbing structures, A sloped hill for "surfing" down, A creative space for crafting and science experiments, A whole wall for assembling Legos! And there seems to be more every time I go. There's enough to keep many kids busy for 2 hours or more (depending on their attention span). I also love that tickets give all day access, so you can leave and return, same day. It's next to a nice shaded area with picnic tables so you can have a little picnic lunch and go back in after. The facility is nice and clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Bonus: Their annual membership makes it SO worth it after just 3 visits!! Really a good value. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area and have little kids!!

There is basically one big outdoor area and two smaller indoor areas. The feedback I'd give; More shade outside would be helpful. It waa very hot when we were there and not much shade. A water exhibit would be good too with the heat! Overall we had fun but I did wish there was more to do for the kiddos.

    I am absolutely, unequivocally obsessed with cats. Frankly, I worship them more than the Egyptians…read moredid and I am quite sure they are Gods. In fact, I am throwing my cat a 5th birthday party literally at the time of this review (she gets a party every year!) and she is laying near me as I type these words waxing her kind, poetic. This means that any place that involves cats is a place I want to be; and thus: cat cafes is a trend I stand behind. A place to hang out with cats AND promote adoptions of said cats on premises? Yes, please! These cafes are growing in popularity and one of note is Purrmaid Cat Café, located in Camarillo a stone's throw from the famous Camarillo Outlets (on the way from Los Angeles to the outlets at the exit prior). Typically, not much positive can be said of social media platform, Facebook but just this once: I can thank them. My cat-loving algorithm is what introduced me to Purrmaid as I proceed to 'follow' the business and engage with the owner on her posts. I immediately knew there was something different about Purrmaid from their competitors and that I would someday need to visit. Purrmaid is the love project of husband-and-wife team Robin (who goes by Cat) and Jeff Kent who were locally known as animal advocates and top-of-the-line pet foster parents. Having dreams of opening an animal sanctuary; the universe opened the door for them as their friend Nikki, OG owner of Purrmaid was giving up the reigns and Robin and Jeff knew this was their time to shine and took over. The rest is history. Located in a busy but quiet strip plaza shopping center; Purrmaid is super welcoming the second you cross their threshold. The small lobby area is colorful, smells amazing and is filled with cat merch for sale from local artists. Refreshments (soda, coffee, water) and Robin's very own homemade baked goods are available for a small sum (and adorably, Purrmaid posts on their socials as though the cats pick the deserts for the day/week!). You must try these desserts! The selections during my visit were chocolate chip cookies and brownies and although these may sound basic - my boyfriend and I were obsessed! The cookies were chewy and soft with browned butter caramelization flavor. So good! Purrmaid isn't your typical cat café and is so much better. After signing a release and paying the $6/person fee (must be at least 7 years of age and children must be accompanied by an adult); you enter the cat room which eschews the standard clinical feel of cat cafes and is instead set-up like a living room which carpeting, couches, arm chairs plus cat towers, shelves and toys galore. Purrmaid is spotless (which my OCD approves) and has a calming, quiet, Zen energy. At Purrmaid, you will feel like you are simply hanging with Robin and her beautiful feline Gods in her living room! Robin and Jeff also have the best interest of the kitties in mind as the cats have access to a cat door to a back room they can 'escape' to when they don't feel like being around guests. Or, they can live out their wild cat fantasies watching bird TV. This is truly a Grade-A cat café. Even the bathroom was spotless and decorated with cats down to the hand towels! As amazing and obsessed with cats Purrmaid is; their mission is to find the cats a forever home and they take this very seriously with a $150 fee, application and home visit and adoption contract. Robin is not playing around when finding the perfect home for these cats whom often come from prior traumatic situations. Want to hold an event or birthday party at Purrmaid? Or attend one of their events like tarot card readings? Yup, they do that too! Purrmaid is an amazing facility! Purrmaid is a purr-fect cat café and Robin and Jeff are simply wonderful individuals running an amazing business. If you are even mildly obsessed with cats - or looking to adopt - you must visit Purrmaid Wed- Sundays 11am-5pm. Heck, you may even see me because I already want to return!

I'm not sure what cloud this man dropped from but his genuine kindness and support/enthusiasm in helping others succeed, whether through means of Goodwill or otherwise, literally brought me to tears our first phone call. I've unfortunately run into people who aren't kind at all in social service programs so it was a pleasant surprise to meet Micah in a time where people aren't always so patient or kind. When I called Micah back a week or so later and just gave my name, it really touched me that he actually remembered everything we talked about our first call and he asked about how it was all going and again let me know that if I needed anything further that I was encouraged to call back. When people are down and just looking for a help to get them along on their career paths, a kind and caring person like Micah can make ALL the difference. I think Goodwill is very blessed to have such a person on their team.

Its a little far away but was worth checking out. After reading what happened to Mary M. in 2017 I can't give 5 stars.

The amount of volunteers that showed up today turned a 2 hour event into 30 mins and it was such a refreshing time - especially to do on a day of love . I LOVED what I did today and I LOVE knowing that what we did today effects the future of tomorrow . This makes my day , check their website out for more opportunities .

The staff at the…read moredistribution center truly care about their mission, and it definitely shows through their actions. At a former job of mine, Food Share allowed the educational non-profit organization I worked for to shop weekly for fresh produce to distribute directly to elementary school students and families served in need, many of whom struggled with food insecurity. This partnership was vital, and very much appreciated by all because it helped improve food access throughout our community at wellness fairs and nutrition classes. Thank you for your hard work! I will never forget about the huge difference Food Share continues to make in countless lives throughout Ventura County, and the value they place on equity.

    I had to laugh at Eric J review! I volunteer occasionally at the corporate offices that the COO and…read moreCEO work at and obviously you have been misinformed and are speaking out of place. When I am volunteering I see nothing but dedicated individuals answering calls, reaching out to local government, city officials creating strategic solutions to be able to serve the people they serve. They work hard to keep the doors open!! Interacting with both of them has been nothing but positive and NEVER toxic. I have been given a tour of the pantry and COO interactions have been nothing but lovely. The pantry is just one part of this place. I am sorry Eric J but your information is false. As far as the bathroom I can't speak on that because they have bathrooms in the office I volunteer at. Research your facts before posting such ignorant reviews. If I ever need help in Ventura County I will go to Project and will always refer people to this organization before anywhere else and the reason for that is solely because of the CEO and COO. When I am in Ventura County again I will volunteer again! Thank you!!

The poor case workers can't even let their clients go pee with out fear of some sort of retaliation or reprimand for a inhumane and prejudiced policy.

But I saw some really unique dining sets, which I WOULD buy if I lived in a much larger space! They have stricter standards for furniture they'll take, so prices are higher but still super affordable. It's laid out bit like showroom warehouse. The back corner has all the 'contractor' type items for building, painting, and adding smaller finishes. I would return to see if any smaller items pop up, and maybe some of the artwork up in the front of store.

Those in need truly benefited from the chance for a warm meal of merit + a few minutes of Christian guidance. My daughters and I served plates, bussed tables, and I serviced the water for the dining room. They carry on entirely with NO government support. It is all funded with donations of food and materials which they sell at their thrift shops. They claim 86% of all revenue pass through to the actual rescue mission. That is exceptionally efficient! With their operation they generate an average of 500 meals a day. This translates into 3500 meals a week... or about 15,000 / 30 day month.... or an IMPRESSIVE 180,000 meals a year! Families are served separate from single men, and the men are divided into a safer and not so safe group. Children and young people volunteer and the staff watches over them carefully. Contact or interaction with volunteers and those they serve is well managed and seems safe enough. By the same token those whom my daughters and I served were cordial and grateful with thanks and smiles. I am truly humbled by their plight and am looking to help in more ways then just volunteer hours. I encourage one and all to go volunteer. It will help you find thankfulness for where-ever you are in life ... and your time and efforts will help those in need in meaningful ways. The organization also runs facilities which provide a safe place to sleep. They have rules for those sleeping in their facilities so it is sheltering and permanent continuous residency. Curious and logical. Oh well - there it is .... do some good for others ... maybe do so good for some in our region who have great need for basic survival. I give 4 stars because it can always get better. I have seen amazing work done by other organizations for those in need (in comparison).

Sonia along with her kids and the many volunteers that come together to put these awesome bags together for children ranging from infant to teens that are suddenly taken out of their homes without any warning. They are donation based and so with that they are always in need of clothing, toiletries, coloring books, things that are both a necessity & then that small item that might be able to give a child a bit of comfort in a traumatizing time. I had the pleasure of putting together a donation collection through my office last year, the picture I posted does not even do justice as that box was packed... We had such an outpouring of support and it goes for such a wonderful cause. A year round organization , they can always use volunteers to help put the bags together and Sonia along with her family are a joy to work with.

I don't think I would go out of my way to visit this thrift shop, but if I'm in Ojai I would definitely take a peek to see what treasure it may hold. On my recent trip I bought a white puffer vest that fit me perfectly and it didn't even look like it's been used. I suppose consider the size of the store they only put out the best items so it's worth a look if you're in the area.

The staff are so rude every time I drop off where they don't thank you for donations but make you feel like they are drill sergeants telling you where to put your items and if you mess up they correct you fast. Iykyk how it is then you'd agree. The bins are labeled confusing so it is guessing sometimes.
