Maybe you're new to the area or just haven't had a reason to come in contact with this organization…read moreso let me share this tidbit from their website. "We provide quality food and groceries to hungry individuals across our 30 county service area. Since 1982, we've distributed more than 250 million pounds of food and fed more than 14 million people." So why am I talking about them? Because I recently had the privilege of volunteering at their food bank. "Bank" should honestly be replaced with "warehouse" because that is exactly what it is. They have boxes for food and drinks coming in (by the pallet) and boxes ready to sort then boxes that have been packed up and ready to ship across the region. And this place is systemic. You have a job and they show you how to do that job as well as be available for questions. I have served at and taken groups to a number of food warehouses and soup kitchens throughout my life. This, by far, is one of the best organized ones I have encountered. The instructions will tell you, but let me say it again. Wear comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes. Prepare to sweat and know that you may have to lift up to 20 pounds. Feeding people isn't always easy, but it is always worth it. Find a way to support. *Insider's Tip -Volunteer either at the Food Bank or the Master's Table (a once-a-day meal providing location downtown). But there is a process so check out the website for instructions.

First let me state that my experience with the Dream Center is as a volunteer. That role still…read moreafforded me the opportunity to learn about the many great services they provide for Augusta and their team, but I do recognize that is not the same as if I were a recipient of their services. Centrally located in South Augusta, this facility is amazing. From the moment you arrive, the team is welcoming and smiling and making you feel like this is a family reunion and suddenly you are now a member. From the exterior it may appear to be nothing of worth, but trust me it is a treasure chest filled with benevolence. There is a weekly grocery pickup service, meals provided, food bank, clothing bank, community services mediation, and more. The facility is two stories and a basketball court-sized gym area. The team is collaborative in focus, which is what brought about my involvement with them, and always seeking to come alongside their neighbors. If you are looking for a local non-profit to volunteer with, start here.

By far my favorite thrift store in the Augusta area. They have everything here- clothes, shoes,…read morebooks, movies, appliances, furniture, toys, decorations, etc. Every time I come here they have something new. Most items appear to be in good condition and are very reasonably priced. I was able to get an entire bag of clothing for only $10. The store is run by a woman named Pat and several volunteers. All proceeds from sales here go towards running a homeless shelter for women and children. Whether you're thrifting to try and save money or reduce your environmental impact, I highly recommend checking this place out. They're also looking for volunteers, so if that's your thing this is a good place for it!

Group class yay! This was supposed to be just a check in but somehow it deleted two of my reviews…read more Yawn! Yes, great group classes here. They have AOA or Active Older Adults, yoga, Pilates etc. But my favorite classes are Spin and Boxing. Those two support both physical and mental health as they require focus which I really need. Front Desk and other staff are generally very friendly and supportive. Manager is generally very supportive. Gym is laid out well with enough room to not feel claustrophobic an be safe. Restrooms are fair with lockers there and in main room. Shower is meh if you need that. This gym is focused on machines and heavy lifting equipment or free weights. I'd still love to see black lights in spin room to help with workout meditation. Also less dang volume in main room during classes. Many complain as we're older and can't hear ourselves think. And the class participants all shout at each other. It sends some into anxiety and we have to leave. I have noise cancelling EarPods but if we get an urgent call etc., it's disruptive. Beyond those, love the place and prefer over gyms in area.

I have been going to the Statesboro Y since moving from Charleston. The facility has all new…read moreequipment since being redone a few years ago, free weights, machines, and is a large open gymnasium. The staff are excellent, have daycare and the classes are a mix from Mui Thai, Boxing, Dancing, kids' classes, and the instructors are highly skilled. I decided to get some one on one weight training with Joel Toledo, he runs the Mui Thai and Boxing classes as well. The past 4-5 weeks have been a workout but increased 30+% in deadlift, bench and squat mostly by understanding having good form is the base to getting stronger, especially the 'core'. I also attend the boxing classes, is a mix of serious cardio but also learning the basics of how to box. Joel's instruction style is solid, he demo's the action, explains the why of it and then demo's again. No drama just excellent commination and good motivation. I cannot recommend the Y more. No other gym in town offers so much. And the monthly membership fee is a true bargain. If you are looking for a gym to get started at or your membership is expiring somewhere else, stop by, I think you will be really impressed, this is not your typical YMCA. Robert M.
