    Lies, I tried to give stuff that could be sold. Was it 100% perfect condition, no but it could…read morestill be sold. They would not take it and I was told that is has to be in 100% perfect condition and ready to be sold. You want people to donate stuff and then make sure it is pristine to be stuck right on the shelf. If that is there expectation, then they are not really selling for charity purposes but to make a profit because anyone that really needs help would not really care if it was 100% or not as long as it met their needs. IMO, they can take the time to make it look the way they want. All they want to do is just collect money. The IRS really needs to evaluate all of the YMCA thift stores because I firmly believe they are not operating as a 501c3 but are really a for profit organization. Have you seen their prices? Somethings are higher than what you would pay at stores. They are not trying to sell to those in need but to those that can afford their prices. A true charity would price the stuff to move and would not care if items that were sold were bought to be resold. I am not the one that buys to resell but the one that gives stuff to these stores to be sold but no more. I will give it to a nonprofit that actually cares.

    The Y has always been shabby and junky - it certainly looks like a thrift store -but as of Summer…read more2021 it's also expensive and the past couple times I've gone, I regretted it. A dirty white used box fan for $15? I can get a new one at Walmart for $15. The local Goodwills are far superior in the clothing department - way cleaner and more organized with better inventory. The Y has good books, and better housewares and hardware but also junk like a whole table and shelf units of discarded water container/thermoses/Go-Cups which is sad and gross. Since the housewares are now priced close to retail, who cares? The best thing about the Y is it's only 3 blocks to the North Main Goodwill. If you like your thrift stores really shabby, try the Salvation Army in Fairlawn. Better lighting and way better prices, for instance all clothing is $1.

    I've known for a while that there's a thrift store somewhere in the area run by people from my…read morechurch. Last week, I finally realized it was the one I pass by almost every day. (I'm a bit slow on the uptake. don'tjudgeme.) Hours are as follows: M-R: 9 am - 5 pm F: 9 am - 2 pm (3 pm?) Sat: closed (church!) Sun: 12 pm - 4:30 p.m. I was in the market for some warm jackets/coats, because I really only had one warm jacket (yep, one) to keep me alive through the winter, and what if something happened to it!?!? I've also basically been wearing my shoes into the ground, so I figured a pair of boots might be nice for the winter. And yes, retail therapy is a thing. There's a rack out on the porch with free clothes (just don't take the hangers), and the store is somewhat divided into two sections. The left side has mostly kids' clothes and a bunch of warm jackets and the side you enter from has all other clothes + shoes. There are books and various types of food to the right. :O My friend happened to be working there the day before I was planning on going, so I told him what I was looking for and he texted me pictures and prices. Twas pretty awesome. There were a lot of wool jackets that I would have loved to get, but I was way too short and/or shrimpy for them. This wasn't too much of a problem though since I found plenty of other things. :D! For $34.98, I obtained the following: -Red heels that I can actually walk in -Super comfy dark brown heels that I can wear to clinic (yay!) -Leather ankle boots (black) -Leather knee-high boots (black) -Super warm blue winter jacket -Super comfy beige hoodie -Super warm maroon vest -Leather jacket (originally from Yarid's, which I cannot afford) (I also picked up a free sweater from the porch.) Basically, the shoes/regular clothes were $2-3, the jackets were $5 and the leather jacket was $10. I am rather ecstatic over my finds! :] Everyone there is super nice/friendly. Definitely stop by if you're looking for great deals! Cash or check only! [Edit] In response to the review below me (apparently, everywhere you go = a 1 star rating)...in what way do they "do absolutely nothing for the community" and how are they greedy people? They foster kids who have been pulled from drug-addicted homes, host free cooking classes for the community to teach them how to make healthy + delicious meals, operate a school and raise money for families who have fallen on hard times, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of people out there. Please don't slander others when you have no legitimate reasoning behind it.

    They do absolutely nothing for the community. And during the growing season the place looks like…read moreover grown abandon lot. They're just greedy people, it's the holiday season and they don't even sponsor any poor families, they're greedy!!!! but remember you reap what you sow.........
