I visited this thrift store on "an emergency" basis after realizing on my way to the coast that I forgot my jacket. I went inside & the very first thing I noticed is that they have a shelf full of food that says something like take what you need. That's a wonderful way to help the community, and I certainly felt welcomed. The staff greeted me and told me to make myself at home. When I asked for help finding a hoodie, the staff were very happy to assist me in finding a hoodie that would fit me well. One of the 2 ladies went to ring me up for the hoodie, and she said it'd be $3 (which is geez, maybe 4 times less than Goodwill would've charged). I told her I only had a credit card & did they accept credit. She said no that they didn't have the ability to accept credit, and she said just to take the hoodie & pay next time I was in. That was such a wonderful gesture of kindness and trust. Since I'm not from the area, I plan on sending a check in the mail as soon as I can. That hoodie saved my trip to the beach - I would've been miserably cold without a jacket with the coastal wind. From the little bit I saw of this thrift store, it's a true community pillar and treasure. read more
