They can provide basic needs like: food, clothing, diapers/wipes, & hygiene products, to the city's they cover.

I adore this little thrift shop! Located on Foothill, A Lot of Good Thrift Store exists on its own…read moreplaza. There is parking in the front of store, but it usually gets taken rather quickly especially between 2 PM to 4 PM on weekdays. You can also park in the back, near the area where donations are dropped off. I usually come on Tuesdays, where discounts usually don't apply to me. I like Wednesday's where there are student/teacher discounts. To my luck, I went on a spin the wheel day today! You get to spin the wheel after your purchase for an opportunity to win items or get a discount. I like browsing their toys, vintage items, and office supplies. I usually get very good second hand items such as staplers, hole punchers, DVDs, shoes, and board games. This location is actually my favorite place to shop for vintage film cameras (I'm afraid to post this because my fellow Yelp friends will be coming more to grab them before I do!). Today, I bought a good pocket minolta film camera, some stuffed animals, and some office supplies. The cashiers are sweethearts and are willing to help you look at items! They also have an extensive amount of used clothes and furniture. It's definitely my favorite thrift store and will continue to be so.

The staff is kind, helpful, and professional, and the donation process is very convenient. They are open Tuesday through Saturday and closed Sunday and Monday. If you're dropping off donations, you can simply drive up to the donation area, and they will take the items from your car and provide you with a receipt. That makes the process so easy. Today I met Maria, the store manager, and she provided excellent customer service. She also shared helpful information about where some of the donated clothing and items go, including libraries and different organizations they partner with. It was a great learning experience and made me feel even better about donating here. I would definitely encourage others to bring donations here or stop by and shop to see what they have. It's a friendly, community-focused thrift store with great customer service.

During my senior year of high school I was the president of Upland High School's Key Club and I was…read morehonored to join in on some of the Upland Foothill Kiwanis Meetings. Amongst the many breakfasts I intruded on, this special breakfast meeting at OPARC really opened my eyes about the world around us. OPARC (Ontario Pomona Association for Retarded Citizens) is a nonprofit organization centralized in the IE (Inland Empire) created to help those with disabilities and their families. We were given a tour of the facilities and we were able to see how OPARC was able to put these people into different programs (depending on their situation). They have a "variety of programs for people with Down Syndrome, epilepsy, autism, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation" (oparc.org). One thing that I still remember to this day is when we entered a room where all they did was putting an item into the plastic packaging and sealing it up. The faculty member at OPARC explained that these simple activities are so simple and easy that an average person would probably be unwilling to do it, especially for less than minimum wage. OPARC takes those simple tasks and with government aid, they are able to pay these disabled workers a lesser pay doing these simply BUT USEFUL and necessary work to contribute to society and to give these people meaning to their lives. That is just one of many examples of the things that OPARC does to help those with disabilities. Their mission statement is: "Enabling People with Disabilities to Achieve Their Full Potential" and this is such a valiant cause!! People with disabilities deserve every right to be emotionally fulfilled with their lives and OPARC is doing a wonderful job helping them with that despite the setbacks they are forced to face. If you're ever looking for somewhere to donate to, this is a great cause! Or maybe just do some research about it and be less ignorant about the world around us :)

When families go to her about these serious issues she laughs in their face! This place needs to be investigated asap! Update: They are refusing to pay parents their money back from their pictures because they went through a parent and that parent didn't do a great job and pictures came out.Horribly, so now they are refusing to refund every parent. They are also telling a student that he needs to get over his personal space. Because the nephew has sensory issues and basically he could do whatever he wants. Whether it violates your personal space or not, which is also bs!

Stopped by Sanctuary hoping to get some work done, and while the vibe had some promise, the visit…read morefell a little short overall. The atmosphere is genuinely nice. Calm, relaxed, and easy to settle into. It's the kind of place where you could picture yourself staying for hours. That said, it was running a bit warmer than comfortable inside, which made it harder to fully unwind. My iced caramel latte came out looking and feeling more like a room-temperature drink than an iced one. It wasn't unpleasant, but when you order something iced on a warm day, you're expecting cold. The bigger issue for me was the Wi-Fi. I came specifically to work, and while the signal showed up fine and I had the correct password, I couldn't actually get connected. I tried on multiple devices and others were unable to connect as well. That essentially defeated the whole purpose of my visit. Sanctuary seems like it could be a solid spot, the aesthetic is there, but they'd benefit from dialing in the drinks and making sure the Wi-Fi is actually usable for remote workers (especially since they offer a meeting room, a little pricey per hour though at $40). Might give it another shot someday, but with lower expectations.

I can only review on the adoption process. Before coming here, always look at their website (DO NOT…read moreuse google for the times). Walk-ins come after 12pm. Anything before 12pm is by appointment only. So, I arrived at 12pm with my child to look around. There was no intention to adopt until I asked about a dog who caught my eye online to check if they are available. This is their adoption process: 1. You will NOT most likely adopt the same day you come as a walk-in based on: if you have other pets or people in your house hold, you own or rent, and others. This is to ensure that adopted animals are not rehomed nor returned to shelter. 2. If there are other pets or people in the home, TELL THEM. This is for yours and the animals' safety! Think if it like a pre-screening prior to the meet and greet. 3. While the dog is "adoptable", if they have an appointment made already, you will NOT be able to see the dog. Essentially, it creates a "wait list"/ first come first serve process. 4. Once you make an appointment, no one else can see the animal until your appointment for the meet and greet. At the meet and greet, you decide if you want to adopt the animal. Then paper work, fees, etc. I was very upfront and honest with the shelter staff about myself and family. This allowed the staff to help me decide which dog would be more likely to fit in my home (and which were actually available for appointment meet and greet.). I was unsure about the dog I scheduled for meet and greet, but many of the staff, techs, and many others said many wonderful things about the dog I wanted to meet. And EVERYONE WAS RIGHT. I nearly cried tears of joy when I saw him, but I had to stay calm for everyone's sake and safety. When I got 1-1 time with him, I was in love. He did look hurt when the volunteer took him back inside his kennel bc he thought he was coming home; I decided to have the shelter neuter him before I took him home. While this process takes time and lots of patience, remember that the main goal is to have both the shelter animal and family (humans and and current animal pets) live harmoniously and happily in a match that ensures a forever home for pets and for you.
