This Vinnie's has a lot of stuff but I usually don't find anything I'm looking for here. I've…read moregotten lucky a couple of times in the past but most of the time I walk away empty handed. They have a great book section, and their general household section is pretty big. They also have a lot of furniture to peruse. The people who work here are nice, just incredibly busy. The parking lot is a bit of a nightmare and, aside from being out in Springfield, is the only drawback to this location. It is tough to get out of and finding a spot can be challenging even in the middle of a weekday. I don't come here super often, but I like to stop by when I'm in the area. It's probably not worth making a special trip to, though.

My friend and I visited and were greeted by 2 employees. The shoes are located on the right hand side of entering along with purses. Up above, there are the prices of what colors are on sale, 25% or 50% off. [Organization]: This store is **organized**! The books [category, but way spacious to look], DVDs, CDs, stationary, seasonal decor, shoes [by color not size, then by category], photo frames, cups, furniture, clothes are all on racks with clear signs, and etc. They do have a good handful of jewelry and other speciality items in cases. It was easy to find a helpful and friendly employee to ask for an item in the case. [Price]: I do think depending on what the item is, St.Vinnies is cheaper than Goodwill. At Vinnies, most of the items are a flat price. Such as books, buttons, cards, clothes,and magazines. I ended up buying a handful of books and magazines, and spent about $30. Some were specialty and hardcover too! I decided to keep this review short, since it was overall just a lovely and great experience. I ended up spending over 2 hours browsing around and found a bunch of great things I've been looking for on my personal list. Super impressed and happy about that! I didn't even look at clothes! (next time!) It is definitely a must go to on my thrift store list!

My only suggestion is they might find a way to fill in the huge puddle right in front of their door, and that they somehow get more parking spaces!

Can't believe this, we've been with the child Center for 3 years. We just got bumped from daily…read morevisits with intense therapy at our home to the day treatment program which was brought to us as a wrap around program meaning help in and outside of school and it hasn't lived up to expectations in the least. We voiced concerns over how my brother was being treated at the school and he actually became sick as we're dealing with many other obstacles right now. We were in Portland over night because he was filling the toilet with blood. Now we're being victimized by the teachers and the supervisor. The way we have been treated since we had to start the day treatment program has been awful. It's supposed to be a school for kids who have special needs but it seems more like jasper mountain for troubled kids. My brother needs more social help than straight discipline. We now get a call from a supervisor saying that we are completely dropped from the child center because of our complaints. The communication with the teacher "counselors" has been horrible through all this. We have had the best experiences here for a long time until the day treatment program. We feel victimized and left out in the cold by them now. This was the one place that truly was helping us until now. My donations will be going elsewhere. Really sad to see this happening. The bullying by the supervisor has been extremely hurtful.

They hurt and abuse both their staff and their clients in the following ways…read more.. They train staff in mandatory abuse report, rights of the individuals, the importance of friendship relationships and the sad reality of lack of natural supports, friendships and family in the lives of most of the disabled individuals we serve and make it well known how valuable and important our relationships with these clients are to them. They even go so far as to encourage us to genuinely befriend and form appropriate and meaningful bonds with our individuals we support. Then as a staff if you actually take all that to heart and become a good, genuine, platonic, close friend with an assigned client they literally fire you and poison the friend/client against you to break all your hearts and withhold/steal all your rightfully earned PTO to instead of clarifying their position and retraining or just accepting the mutual friendship relationship 2 grown consenting adults have every right to be in. It breaks and hurts multiple people and hurts employee moral when you see coworker after coworker get marched out for often petty or normal excusable mistakes or misunderstandings that could literally happen to any of us and the more often you see it happen the more you're left wondering if it's only a matter of time before it happens to me. What's worse is they implemented a human rights violating covid shot mandate and mask mandate that forces workers to have to give up their rights to medical freedom, bodily autonomy and medical privacy!

Hands down, Wiggly Tails Rescue Organization is in my opinion hands down the best rescue…read moreorganization. They are a nonprofit 501(c) (3) rescue organization that rescues dogs in high kill shelters in California. Laura Green is the best Executive Director and really knows her stuff. I've only interacted with her. On May 13, 2023, I went to PetSmart on Chad drive to a local adoption event that was from 12:00-4:00. I arrived at 10:00 because I really wanted to meet one pup and her name was Cheesecake! When I got there, nobody was there yet from Wiggly Tails and I didn't mind. I waited very patiently and the wait is definitely worth it. A potential adopter was supposed to be there and time kept going by and going by. I told Laura to call or text me if things didn't work out with the other potential adopter I'd come back and meet her or meet her the next day. I'd left at about 3:00 without Cheesecake. I'd gotten about 10 minutes away and had received a text from Laura that read, baby come back!! Oh man, my heart jumped up in my throat. I went back and Laura had told me things didn't work out with the other potential adopter and asked me if I wanted to meet her. She didn't even have to wait for my answer as she probably could hear the excitement in my voice when I called her after her text to me and I'd told her where I was and how long it'd take me to get back there. Cheesecakes foster mom brought her to me and oh my, she absolutely melted my heart and I know now that I melted hers. We both fell in love with each other right then and there. Cheesecake is now Zoë and my toddler fur child. She's Japanese Chin/Pekingese x, to me though she's all my baby girl. I don't know what her life was prior to her rescue, but I know that her foster mom and Laura did an amazing job with her as you'd never know where she came from and you, like myself couldn't imagine why someone would take her to such a place or if she was a stray, you'd never know now. Zoë's 1000% spoiled, just as it should be and she's living her best life thanks to Laura and Wiggly Tails. There is an adoption fee. It takes care of the gas to go down to California to get them and bring them back, spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, a free bag of the dog food they're already on, a free extensive veterinary visit(one supported by Wiggly Tails) their second sets of shots, their collar, and or harness and leash, a whole paper from PetSmart with amazing coupons, including grooming. It's amazing to adopt a dog and or animal and I was lucky enough to cross paths with Wiggly Tails as I've adopted the perfect gem Thank you to Laura Green, staff and Wiggly Tails!

As a parent, I love having a playground that is safe and never too crowded as well as indoors when the weather is bad. I have gotten a few other families to join because it is nice to meet up there. We can relax a bit while the kids play rather than hosting a playdate at our houses. I also really like that it is a non-profit run by the parents and that it is co-op style, so everyone pitches in to keep the playground clean and well-run. It is nice to have a space we are all invested in.
