The perfect place to either: 1 - donate nice women's clothing (as like-new as possible) to be…read morescored buy women who need something nicer than they are in a position to buy and might need for a job interview, etc., Or: 2 - if you need some clothing to look the way you'd like to be seen for that special opportunity, be sure to stop by and check out Bloom. It won't be a waste of your time. Drop off what is nice but not needed so that someone who really needs it can have it! Note the specific open hours and donations accepted times on their website. Tip re. Dropping off items: Donations are received at the rear of the building, down the immediately adjacent driveway. Back down it if you can. It's difficult to turn a car around at the bottom!

Inside, we discovered that all yellow tag items were 50% off, something that is unheard of at Sonoma County Goodwill locations.

Cons- smaller store = less merch, very little parking - but is walking a bit on a Saturday really that bad? Pros - very welcoming and nice employees, store was clean, selection was organized and priced well. I did not use, but the drop off section seemed busy and well organized. All in all, I will return when I'm in the area or doing a full thrift day.

It's a great cause ( which…read moreis verbatim what staff will say should you express your discomfort) but it's still a thrift store and the prices lately are antique store esq. I find it insulting and a discredit to the very definition of what a thrift store should be: appealing to all especially those who truly cannot afford to shop elsewhere. This is absolutely no longer the case. What should be a fun "find" At a great price is now sorrily a researched item priced at retail or above. Example is a Zadig and Voltair Suede jacket at 200$. Jackie is the manager, she's a bit off... I've been a client for years yet she's always a bit cold. Who knows what the deal is... maybe she's pressured to make quota? Some lovely woman work here and the volunteers are wonderful.

I hadn't been to the Salvation Army in San Rafael for quite a while because, honestly, I used to…read morefind the store very messy and chaotic. I started going back a few months ago, and I'm really happy to say that I've noticed a big difference! The store feels much more organized, and the team working there is always so nice, friendly, and welcoming. You can tell they really care about keeping the store as tidy as possible. I see them constantly putting things back, picking items up, and trying to keep everything in order. They really do their best, and I appreciate that. I do wish upper management would do a little more to address customers leaving things all over the place. I see items thrown on the floor or left in completely different areas all the time, and it must be frustrating for the employees to constantly have to clean up after people. It would be nice to see some rules or reminders encouraging customers to be more respectful of the store and the people working there. I also feel for the employees because the store has been incredibly hot during my recent visits. I'm not sure if the air conditioning is broken or just not working well, but it must be difficult to work in that heat all day. Despite that, the staff continues to be friendly and helpful, which says a lot about them. Overall, I really appreciate the changes I've seen over the past few months. Izzy and her team deserve a lot of credit for the effort they put in every day. I enjoy stopping in to look around, and I hope upper management continues to support this team and give them the resources they need to keep making the store a pleasant place to shop.

Yesterday, I was passing the Salvation Army in San Rafael and I decided to go in just to look at records. It was the most revolting time I've ever had anywhere. Even the "dump" store in Petaluma is far cleaner. This was a Wednesday afternoon, not a weekend after a hurricane from a mobscene of shoppers. I'm not sure I EVER want to go into that store again and risk buying something that has spent an unknown amount of time on the floor. Also, I won't be bringing donations to them either because they already have more going on than they can handle.

Fine Estate Sales will do their best to sell your product, or items in your estate. It is your decision to set a special price for an item, or, let their experts set the price. If you are not happy with this business, then let them know and negotiate. Be a business person and DEAL WITH the problem with the source. Deal with it as a business owner, instead of writing a long boring novel that lost my attention after merely looking at the size of the review. Everyone needs to understand, Fine Estate Sales, or any similar company, is not Macy's, Nordstroms, Nieman Marcus or Louis Vuitton, etc. So unless you set a price, or negotiate a contract before signing or amend the contract, there lies an agreement, hand shake, i.e. a contract. I understand you may not be happy, however, as I mentioned above, deal with it, and work with Martin and Valetta. They are here to make money for you and them. Thank you for everything Martin and Valetta, and miss The Candy Store.

The security guard was also very attentive and even opened the door for us before we were anywhere near the entrance!
