Pull up to the donation door and an associate not only unloads but also provides a tax receipt. And he was masked! Inside, the store is well packed with clothing that's organized by size and color. They have housewares (so many vases!) and occasionally a bicycle, sofa or sporting equipment. Everything is priced to go and you're doing good with it. [Review 13435 overall, 754 of 2020.]

I had the pleasure of volunteering here earlier this week and had a great time. I went with about…read more10 of my coworkers, and we all had different "jobs" to do from helping with check out to running the stamps to cut out shapes for bulletin boards. What Classroom Central does, is provide free school supplies for teachers in underprivileged school districts. They cover about 7 districts from Union to Mecklenburg to even one in SC. They have everything set up for teachers to "shop" the store. They get a certain quantity of each item and can pick up to 25 different items. These items range from book bags, to one subject notebooks, to markers, pens, pencils, and crayons. All the items are donated and Classroom Central doesn't receive money from the state. Risa is in charge of the volunteers who work there, and she is a gem. She's very patient with people like me who ask a lot of obvious questions, and I can tell she appreciates everyone who comes in. If you ever have the chance to volunteer, please do so. They have a sign up online, and normally go in 4 hour shifts. Mine was 1:30-5.

Disappointed and Misled…read more I spent six difficult months hoping this program would help me get back on my feet, only to be let down by empty promises and a lack of genuine support. I was told to trust the process, but after long periods of silence and delays, I was ultimately rejected with a generic email. This program seems more focused on selecting people who are already likely to succeed, just to maintain a high success rate for appearances and funding. It felt strategic, not compassionate. I also felt discriminated against for my faith and discouraged for receiving disability income--even though I made it clear I was ready and willing to work. I was judged instead of supported, and never truly given a fair chance. This experience was disheartening, and I want others to know: this program is not what it claims to be.

Twice a year, the organization hosts a sale to reduce donated items. These include shoes, purses ($5), pants, dresses ($10), skirts, scarves, belts, stockings, suits, pajamas, and outerwear ($15).

However, there are limits on the items priced to move quickly ($1) and there may be limits on other clothing groups. The funds help the organization continue its mission of helping women.

Best Goodwill location I've ever been to!…read more I've been to quite a few Goodwill locations, and this one is hands down the best experience I've ever had. First of all, the convenience is unmatched. They have a drive-thru donation area, and it made the entire process so easy. As soon as I pulled up, the staff came right out to my car and handled everything for me. I didn't have to get out, unload, or figure anything out--it was smooth from start to finish. The team was friendly, efficient, and super appreciative, which made the experience even better. You can tell they're organized and truly value people's time. We're visiting from Texas, and I have to say... we never get this kind of amazing treatment back home. This location really sets the bar high! If you've ever put off donating because it feels like too much work, this location completely removes that barrier. It was quick, stress-free, and honestly one of the easiest drop-offs I've ever done.

The parking lot still jams up and it's not easy to negotiate. I would not try this with the Sprinter van for sure. Inside, the store is packed. My eye was immediately drawn to the display of men's shirts before my wife pulled me away. Yes, I already have a closetful and do not need more clothes. In the housewares, we browsed and spotted a perfect replacement. And then while waiting to check out, we spotted a card game that was marked down to $0.49. How could we not? Now we have something silly do do when family visits for the holidays. It's still four stars here. The merchandise changes from moment to moment, you will never know what you will find and the prices are great. But it can be a tough shop as the place is very densely packed and the parking lot is too small by half. [Review 2392 of 2024 - 3852 in North Carolina - 23405 overall]
