I've donated to this thrift store at least 5 times this year alone (I'm downsizing) as well as in previous years and they rarely have receipts available, which are printed on regular copy paper, so I don't get how they never have any. I never purchased anything from them so I can't speak to that experience. They provide meals for the unhoused, so that's awesome. I'm going to find other organizations to donate to in the future; you know, spread the love around and hopefully get a receipt. read more

Amazing deals , the lady in the front is so sweet and adorable . Hidden Gem!! If you're looking for a thrift store that is not being ransacked by resellers this is the place for you read more

I make it a point to stop in. It's a vibe,not only is the gems I find a joy,there's a kindness here.I appreciate the community of people running the joint and the price is just right for my pocketbook. Beyond the store itself,I value the mission and value it stands for .The give back to the community is an absolute nurishment to my soul.I have seen first hand the level of kindness that take place here.Clothes given to the needy, food passed out weekly. Toys given out to community children. This year it was a pleasure to receive a turkey and all the fixings for a complete family meal. I am one of many that appreciate all that you do. Sincerely a humble patron read more

these prices that they have are so amazing! their service is amazing and i would definitely love to go back. they have a variety of stuff you could choose from! read more

Customer service was not good. They don't really have much clothes and there was no sign anywhere that said cash only. Once I was about to checkout, the lady in front told me it was cash only and I replied with an "Oh, okay" and she told me there was an ATM nearby and as I walked to put the clothes back, she rudely said to her coworkers, "There's a sign infront" and I replied back "Oh, sorry I didn't see it." Another customer told me there was no sign in the front and once I left, there wasn't a sign. Honestly don't recommend this place. Drove 30 minutes for this smh read more

One of the best vintage stores ive ever been too! Love this place. So many levels, so many gems!! Def need to go back there to see it all. read more

Great service. Everyone is friendly. We found lots of good deals, some stuff was even brand new. Great value for our money and good wide selection. We got shoes, board games, baby toys, books, kitchen appliance and decorations. I happened to have some stuff for donation in my trunk and I was happy to know they take donations. It felt good to donate to them since they got such good deals! I also saw them giving out food to homeless people that stopped by which I think it's a pretty cool cause! We will be coming back! read more

CASH ONLY! Hours are 9am to 4pm M-F. 10am to 4pm Saturday. DONATIONS ACCEPTED UNTIL 2:30pm. Closed Sunday. Many things to choose from. FUN IF YOU ARE A DIGGER. BRING GLOVES. Take your awesome donations here instead of elsewhere. Quality in, quality out. Because this isn't a chain owned thrift store and it is run by the VOLUNTEERS who attend the Set Free Church, it is not flashy. Which translates to, less expensive prices. Do not put YOUR fears on the area where the store is located. The staff are VERY friendly and always happy to help you unload your car if needed. Check Google Maps for more pictures. read more

Set Free Thrift Store - vhs - Thrift Stores Near Me - Riverside, California

OK, the location is not great- I actually feared for my old vehicle and peeked outside a few times as I cannot afford broken windows or to have things get stolen from me. That being said, nothing happened. lol Inside, well- it could be cleaner. They absolutely COULD and SHOULD organize things better. Nothing will sell if people cannot find it. While most of us that are shopping at a thrift store in the first place are possibly out of work, it still doesn't mean that we want to spend all day on our feet digging through crap. lol in the very least maybe organize things by SIZE?? However, I came in for one thing and got it for a dollar. I ended up picking up a few other things, but altogether I can admit that I spent maybe about $5 and at a good clean thrift store I have bene known to spend over $80- So straight out you are hurting your own business. I have often dreamed of owning my own thrift store- and while I am happy I didn't start that before this lovely pandemic that never ends- if I did own a business I would be doing all that I could to make it run smoothly and profitably. Maybe this is just someone's tax write-off? Let me know if you need a manager- lol I am looking for work read more

Everything I am looking for in a true thrift store. Woman at the front bitching and complaining about EVERYTHING the whole time I was in the store, but when it actually came time to ring me up she was super nice, appreciative and grateful. Monday was $1 mens shirts so I scored!! Got 5 bags full of stuff under $50. MAKE SURE TO BRING CASH! Store is cash only. No dressing rooms. read more

I am a huge bargain/thrift store shopper!! This is a great little hole in the wall thrift shop. They had name brand men's shirts up the wazoo. They are a faith driven store so I believe their proceeds go to the local church. I got about 13/14 shirts, two picture frames, 4 hard covered books, 2 necklaces, and a small decorative candle holder for $14. The prices here are so good they are insane. If you are ever in dtwn riverside go the 4mins our of the way to stop here, you won't regret it! read more

I just have to tell you that I have not visited or donated yet to this store. However, I DO KNOW that the funds they raise from this store go to help the homeless and downtrodden. I have visited their Set Free Ranch and seen many people go from homeless individuals who sought change. They now are functioning with jobs and independent. Purchases here really go to help people and help solve the homeless crisis. For that REASON I have to give 5 stars for what it means to shop here. read more

See all

Dirty and smelly store, excessively damaged clothing, and off-putting employees. They accept cash only as well, which I find odd nowadays.

They have some pretty good stuff in here, the only thing is that they only take cash. Keep that in mind.

By my standards, this is an excellent thrift store, but let me explain what "my standards" are. Personally, I feel that Goodwill is overpriced, and I never step into secondhand boutiques because I feel they're a rip-off. I believe that having things scattered here and there means I may dig through some bins of random knick-knacks and find a deal. I may get dirty while doing it, but that's what water and soap is for. That said, if you're the type who prefers a perfectly clean, well-organized place, with a bunch of staff milling about and what not, you may not enjoy this spot. For people like me, who are totally fine with digging through a bunch of old toys to maybe find a cheap pair of sunglasses, or who can enjoy some old clothes that they consider out of fashion while trying to find a decent tee shirt or two, this place is great. Also, they hold car washes in the parking lot on Saturdays from morning until mid-afternoon. They're currently $5. So you can park your car, get it washed, and browse a little, or walk to the nearby liquor store and get a drink. A great way to spend a little time, in my opinion. read more

There all friendly prices are very reasonable actually very cheap And I'm always finding treasure to add to my collection my chic vintage look ... happy Jesus loves you all read more

Store is so dirty and disgusting . Makes you feel like no matter what you buy you would never get it clean. The 3 homeless people in front of the store were more than intimidating .i told one of them I didn't have any cash and he replied "that's a new car, I know you got some money" . My advice to the manager is if you want to compete with other local thrift stores then clean up the store . I realize some stores can't afford to wash, dry and prepare all donations but keeping your floor and racks clean would be a good start . If a person doesn't feel safe leaving their vehicle due to homeless they won't return . I know I won't . read more

Sorry but the store is not really well organized and they don't have much and what they do have is not worth looking at. I would suggest to skip this one, or better yet do donate here, they need itt! read more
