What a find! From the initial furry greeting from a four legged family member to the owners kind "hello" along with the very short history of the store (opened a month ago), we ventured into the sweetest assortment of castaway items where we were invited to dig in and see what we could find. Most everything is organized well, although there were lots of recent donations needing sorting; The Cause Closet has a lot of great stuff! Housewares, shoes, collectibles and clothing, you're sure to find that specially priced, gently used item that will give you the adrenaline any good thrift shop will offer all while giving back to a Cause! read more

Tried to drop off items during what was stated as open hours but no one there. A sign on the door would have been nice.

And it's all local, because they get donations from area businesses, residents, etc. to re-sell all sorts of stuff. I saw a huge breadmaker for $10 and across the aisle (really, it's all in a huge unheated warehouse, but I guess it was an aisle) were like 237 concrete smoothing putty knive-things. Upstairs it looked like American pickers for lighting equipment. It was amazing. And then there was a separate building just for furniture and appliances. I saw two old timey fridgerators (Kelvinators, anyone?), they looked like they were brand new, but also kind of pricey. Anyhow, it's a great place to wander around when you get sick of Wal Mart.

Also they have a basement full 'o costume stuff of all sorts of clothes, and they also rent suits and stuff. The folks are very nice, and the owner has even got some yoga classes going after business hours (cost: whatever you can give)! So there is almost all you need in terms of clothing, entertainment, and some exercise. They also have a really nice website, and if you prefer reality, check it out for their window dressings. They are the mannequin gurus.
