They do many services with parents of small children and have those needed relationships that aid in getting your family housing, governmental help, jobs, and so on. They have plenty of information for newcomers and they helped us out a lot with info about the area and where to go. The staff is relatively nice. They seem to care and try to assist you with any program that fits your families needs. They also hold an annual festival that kicks off the summer right in the heart of the town. I'd recommend giving them a call or dropping by if your new to the area just to see if they can help you with anything at all. It doesn't hurt to check it out!

I know a lot of people like this thrift store, it's one of the most recommended ones in the area…read more But I saw a *used* sideboard table priced for $300. $300! You can get NEW furniture cheaper at Walmart. It wasn't even solid wood, it was some wood veneer stuff. I mentioned something at the front and they went hard about oUr MiNiStRy and all of the programs they support. Which is fine and all, but the ministry can ALSO support low income people by not charging offensive prices on items they get for free. God only knows if they really use the money responsibly. (Also the lady who checked me out was standoffish with me from the get go, before I even opened my mouth to say hi.) The expectation, when one donates to a thrift store, is that their items will go to someone else who needs those items at an affordable price. Not that some organization will use the items to do charity gymnastics by overcharging. They should be focused first and foremost on ministering to the low-income people who come to thrift stores to get affordable furniture. Not freaking $300 for a small sideboard buffet. Anyway so I would recommend donating your furniture to the ARC rather than here, if you want to see it actually passed on affordably to families in need. But if you're looking to buy clothes, this is unfortunately probably the better bet in town. I feel gross giving them my money now. I think it's disgusting when any thrift shop takes advantage of donations finance their special interests. Just let people have somewhere affordable to shop; Lord knows we need it in this economy.

Easy to get to, great parking and has the best prices of the other thrifts in Pueblo; Goodwill and ARC. That being said, if you are looking for ski wear, this is the place to go. Nearly new ski wear for all ages. I really couldn't believe it. Lots of beginner's try and give up. Their cloth's are here!! With inflation being what it is you are crazy to shop retail - so many good finds at such reasonable prices. Try and buy . . . you won't be disappointed!

Can you tell which kind of animal at the ranch is my favorite?…read more Let me tell you...holding these little babies is actual LIFE! Are you mad, sad, glad, rad?? Anything you're going through, this is the place for you. Such a spirit lift! When you're headed down the road to get there you almost think you couldn't possibly be going the right way. It's out in the boondocks, and down a dirt road. But it's so worth the trip. The animals love people so much. The goats might trick you into thinking you're their best friend, but in reality they just want your treats. The babies are so lovable. They always have all kinds of cuties; horses, piggies, alpacas, donkeys, sheep, chickens, ducks, bunnies, ostriches... We go all the time. It's an awesome family fun experience. One trip my daughter and I got to watch baby goats be born! I highly recommend checking them out!

No one ever talked to me or even said hello. All the employees (at least I'm guessing they work there) just sat at a table in front eating and talking. The store itself is just a pile of trash. This place needs the employees the actually get up, clean and reorganize the whole building and the back area that is basically just a scrap yard. I don't know how this place makes enough money to even stay in business. They can't be doing well.

We spent 3 days up here volunteering with some of my high school age girl scouts…read more Our experience far exceeded anything that we could have ever imagined. M:W just experienced some flooding so they were in a bit of stress and chaos when we were there. some of the fencing and structures came down and got tore up. As a volunteer camping, we needed to be there between 9 and noon. We arrived around 1030. The road to get there is a little rough. We did it in my honda pilot AWD and my coleader had her highlander. Some pot holes, ruts and jutting rocks so just be prepared. If it has been rainy the road will be even rougher to get up and down as will be slick. Cows around there dont have fences so be sure to take it easy when driving so you dont accidentally hit any animals. We were greeted upon arrival, and assigned a long term volunteer who they call staff to give us a tour. Iyla did a great job with giving us information and showing us around. Kent was doing an education talk right after that and we were all so glad that we attended. It was so informative and interesting! We did get to go meet a couple of the wolves after which was beyond anything we had imagined. After the talk, we went down to our camp area to set up. And when we were done we came back up the road and they set us up with some tasks. We worked until around 830 pm and headed back to our site. The next 2 days we did more volunteering. Also got to watch the wolves feed. And do a little more interaction with them. Everyones volunteer experience may be different but ours was absolutely amazing! It was something we had to set up in advance with them as they have limited space. You are supposed to bring your own tent, sleeping bags, etc when staying on site. We all had an amazing time and will be back next year to volunteer again! The organization really takes care of their animals and has a lot of heart and soul.
