No One should receive money for poor service and NOT doing their jobs. I almost feel like it's my duty to make sure they no longer have donations, charitable events, and/or sponsors Ever Again. Last night was the second time I used DonateStuff/Purple Heart, only to see my items still on my lawn the next morning. The first time, I was in an apartment and guaranteed by someone on the phone that someone would "show". They did NOT show and I received a FINE from my apartment complex. I contact someone higher up and cannot think of the contact information and they resolved the situation immediately the next morning. That is the reason why, I gave them another chance BUT now I do not think anyone deserves a job or profit over there. It is using people whom actually been through something (Vets,Lupus, high risk children, etc) as a pawn and making a profit WITHOUT helping and providing for them. It's NO WAY, the way this is ran, they're actually giving to the Organizations and I wholeheartedly believe that. And I ONLY donate quality items... I am done.

I called Purple Heart/donatestuff (Houston) to schedule a pickup. Long story short, I labeled all…read moreboxes and put all of the items on the porch before 7:00 as instructed. I called around 5 pm because no one came. They said they didnt have a code to enter the gate. (which they didn't need because its manned 24 hours AND they could have called if they did in fact come by) I rescheduled for the next morning. I informed them that I had ALOT of boxes. I moved them back inside and out the next morning. The truck arrives around 4pm. The driver gets out and proceeds to let me know he cannot pick up all these boxes and I will need to call and reschedule a pick up for items he can't load. I explained that I informed the office on a couple occasions that there were ALOT of boxes. He said it's their problem in the office and it happens all the time. His attitude from the time he arrived was grumpy and rude. He then proceeds to put a couple boxes on the back of his truck, climbs up and throws the boxes to the front of his truck! I heard glass breaking and I'm pretty sure most of the items were damaged! These items were not junk and were in perfect condition. We were moving and I was downsizing in a lot of areas. So I started putting the rest of the boxes in the garage so he could leave. I was shocked and I will not be calling them in the future. I called because I have a son that was in the army and I wanted to offer support to their cause. These items could have helped several families. Needless to say I did not call them to reschedule the pick up. I did use another company and they were courteous and happy to assist.

We arrived here on the last Sunday of the year. December 28, 2025. It was very auspicious for sure. We found parking at around 7:45pm and had people directing us where to park. We found parking and walked towards the entrance and waited for my friend's friends to show up. After introductions, we entered the botanical park and my friend scanned all the tickets for our group to enter. I'm not sure how much those tickets costs, but I'm sure it was worth every penny. We probably spent about 1 1/2 hours here from start to finish. We tried to stay close to together, walking close together and enjoying the lit up displays along the way. It was cool how everything was themed. From animals and insects to the many Chinese astrology animals. We even asked each other about who is what sign and we all tried to find where our Chinese animal was. It was a fun experience to have with friends on a Sunday evening. A lot of trees and signage were decorated with a lot of lights and festive themes. It was a beautiful night to be out and about. Thanks to my friends and new friends who have helped me enjoy the last Sunday of 2025 with a paid admission. It was cool that there was a lot of families and children out and about. Weather was good that night. No need to put on layers. There were food vendors in the park that night but we ate dinner prior to coming out to the Houston Botanical Gardens. The overall experience here at the Houston Botanical Gardens was very cool. Just saw the gardens at night which was cool but not during the day when it can be very therapeutic and calming as well. Still, the most beautiful thing about the lights event is that it brings people together during the holidays. Brings out the humanity in people when life seems to be on edge these days. The atmosphere that night was decidedly electric and plenty of people were around to make it better. I forgot to take photos that evening but the memories will live with me forever. For the most part though, I enjoyed myself here, seeing something different than the usual tourist thing in Houston at night. The asphalt paths was marked and there was no problem navigating around the garden. It felt smaller than it was but then again, I was following friends around without realizing how large the botanical garden really was. And so, it was just the right place that I needed to be. Enjoying the vacation with friends before doing something in Missouri City 2 days later. Maybe I should not have walked around too much that evening, but it's been a good way to be active out here at the Houston Botanical Gardens than sitting around at the house. I'm pretty sure that the lights show that I attended here is a seasonal event, so I'm assuming that they just have it annually. Not sure about other events at the HBG, but definitely check them out if you are interested and in the Houston area. Just happened to be here during the holidays in 2025. The Houston Botanical Garden is a beautiful place that's located centrally in the city of Houston, Texas. It's physically located at 1 Botanic Lane, Houston. I'm sure they accept major credit cards as well as cash for their online ticketing and people who pay at the entrance on a daily basis. As far as parking goes, there's quite a bit of parking stalls here. Albeit being at night, I figured that it was large enough to fit about 75-100 cars at any given time. I'm not sure about public transportation options, since I'm a visitor to Houston, but you can double check with the local transportation authority and see which routes are applicable and appropriate for your next trip to the Houston Botanical Gardens. Best thing to do is to have your own car, rent one, or hit up your local Houston friends to hang out at the Houston Botanical Gardens next time they're available. And of course, there is Uber and Lyft if you need their services as well. The admission fee is reasonable for anyone and everyone to help maintain the gardens. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable about the native plants that's being cared for here. There's signage that helps you identify all the plant species that are here at the HBG. Do yourself a favor and come down to The Houston Botanical Gardens on your next trip to Houston. It may be the place you need to start or end your day. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

The process is actually not as time consuming as one may think, on average your out of there in 20min. They sit you down in a room to do a questionare on computer. Next they prick your finger to check your blood iron to see if your eligible for donation, sometimes you may not have a rich iron diet and your Hct maybe too low to donate so if your planning on donating anytime soon, you should eat iron rich foods for the week and make sure to wash it down with OJ as vitamin C assists absorption of iron ;) Also if your a tea drinker its suggested not to that week as tea blocks iron from absorbing. After the vital signs, the paperwork is done, its time! The phlebotomist was reassuring as she preps your arm and your comfortably lying down... I recommend just not looking the entire time so it doesnt hit you! I was texting the entire time I was hooked up, and taking pictures!

The blood drives that are hosted around town may give you t shirts, gift certificates or discounts.
