I almost wanted to be selfish and gatekeep this place for myself, but wow this thrift was amazing. Price wise everything was more than reasonable; comparable or better than some prices at Goodwill and St. Vinny’s. I was also pleasantly surprised to find bottoms in my size. I scored two pairs of vintage size 16 jeans as well as some tops and curiosities. I will be visiting again!!!
Audrey, thank you for not keeping our awesome thrift shop a secret! We appreciate your review and hope we see you at the Giving Tree again soon!

An upper class thrift/consignment shop. A bit pricy, but clean and a very wide selection of like new condition items.
Thanks for the 5 star review, Matt! All proceeds from thrift store sales toward programs and services which benefit EveryStep's patients, clients, and their families.

I visited your store today, it was my first time in as I live out of town, and it is absolutely a beautiful store! I didn’t make a purchase because I was short on time and needed to move along, but when you find a store such as yours it needs to be recognized. I found your store to be extremely clean, along with your merchandise. I like how you made little vignettes to make room settings with your furniture and accessories. You also put like things together keeping the store organized and orderly to shop. I was also impressed with all of your jewelry and being willing to take jewelry out for your customers. The employees were welcoming and very friendly. I definitely will be back and I’m looking forward to shopping with you in the future. I know from having friends whose daughter spent time in your center that you do wonderful things. Keep up the wonderful work that you do.
Jody, THANK YOU! We aim to please and it appears we hit the target during your visit. The Giving Tree is more than just a store ... All proceeds from thrift store sales toward programs and services which benefit EveryStep's patients, clients, and their families.

I came to your store and got a used dishwasher for my daughter for Xmas. The person that helped me was Shane he was very kind and went above and beyond the call of service. Great employee I wish more places had people like him. Thanks for great item my daughter loved it.
Mike, we are glad that we could help. New appliances are not cheap and its good to hear that you find a perfect used item for your needs. We hope to see you again sometime!

A wonderful store run by volunteers with money going for cancer research. Many good finds if you have the time to look.

I'm still giving a 5⭐️, because my daughter was at Kavanaugh House before she passed away. However, today I went to drop off some brand NEW items that I had purchased to take there and was told that they weren't taking donations because a manager was ill. I find that unacceptable. But I still give them a 5⭐️ review for all of the wonderful things they do and people they're helping. My inconvenience pales in comparison to all of the good things that they do for people. ❤️
Zippy, first off, we are very sorry for experience. I do encourage you to call Michelle, the manager of the store, to discuss your experience. Her cell number is 515-344-8926. I have shared this message with her, and she is looking forward to speaking with you.

This place is flipping AWESOME!!! GREAT stuff at fantastic prices. Way way better than any other thrift store in the metro area! Wonderful, helpful staff who seem to always smile and have a sunny disposition! Found multiple pairs of jeans and shorts ( as well as a quality quilt) that were actually CLEAN, no worries of tears or stains with prices that haven't been seen since 1995. Lol. Don't go anywhere else. Stop here first!! Oh and the proceeds go to a worthy cause.. p.s. no sales tax.

This is my absolute favorite thrift store in the Des Moines metro area, and as a teenager who loves clothes but has to buy all their own, that is saying a lot. The clothing is sorted by size AND color which helps with sorting out what you want to look at.They have a great selection of CDs and all of the volunteers are always so nice to me. The store is very organized and they are always changing things so nothing ever looks too messy. I’m so happy I get to shop there!
