I have loved shopping here for years but I love even more so how easy they make it to drop off donation. The older lady that works at donation is always so friendly and helpful when I need help dropping off items.

I always like poking around in here. The Goodwills have much more clothing, but I've always found nice glassware, tennis rackets, picture frames, etc.
