Thrift Store Mennonite Central Committee

I too use to go here alot. They are overpriced and they have way too much stuff in that little store. The last time I was there they had a rack with 75 cents posted. Every thing on the rack was JUNK. I understand there is overhead but my goodness THE STUFF IS DONATED.

Cute stuff, very good prices, friendly customer service! I found my new thrifting place! Yay!

Just had some help from Joel as I donated a few items. Love coming to this place to donate. Wonderful staff, convenient, and nicely organized. Good job guys. Keep it up!

I will agree with most regarding the customer service. I simply asked a question about an item to the manager and we’ll let’s just say she has poor social skills. They do have some good stuff but meh there’s better out there

I usto come here so much the staff still is amazing and super friendly but there prices are insane and so not worth the trip any more sadly:(I miss shopping here but not for what they cost

Way way over priced. Use to be an actual thrift store and now they operate on an retail price model. $ 65.00 for a graphing calculator, $ 25.00 for a Nerf gun. Their audience is not the same size as eBay, so they need to price accordingly. Your better off going to GoodWill to find a bargain. Who ever is pricing their items is more concerned with getting top dollar than making a sale.

Pricey! $ 3.50 for very well used Old Navy toddler flip flops??? Brand new you can get 2/​$ 5. This was not the only overpriced items. Nice Christmas items but some were definitely priced too high. Walked out empty handed.
Staff at least greeted us when we walked in.

This thrift store used to be really amazing, but now it’s extremely over-​priced and crowded with a variety of random things. I feel like the owners are more worried about making money than helping out people in the community that cannot afford full retail value for certain things. I will not be back here.

I use to shop there at least 5 times a week. Now, with the new management I visit maybe twice a month. I realize that you get name brand items, but now they are being over priced… THIS IS A THRIFT STORE and looking for bargains, not EBAY prices. A majority of your clients are seniors and low income people looking for a bargain, especially on Senior Wednesday. The new layout is cluttered and difficult to get around. I am handicapped and find it difficult to get through tight spaces. Please review the floor plan and prices for our neighborhood. If you want top dollar for vintage and name brand items, put them on EBAY. I an insulted to see those two and three digit prices.

Love thrift stores, you can find all sorts of items for great prices. If you look you can find name brand items for a really great price. Best part is your donating money to a local business. This store is very clean especially for how busy they are!
Come early to find the good stuff…

I’ve been donating here for years, and had my first encounter with an extremely rude staff member today. I will never donate here again.
I had a big plastic bin, full of baby items (only high quality, I toss out things I would not like myself). I even had a stroller and a birth ball… but that’s not the point. I drove my minivan across town, burning gas (though my own family is struggling) to do what I consider to be the right thing. I backed up in the correct parking spot to donate my items. I wasn’t told I had done anything wrong, so I proceeded to unload 2 items. I noticed a rude older lady nodding her head disapprovingly and saying something about me under her breath to another staffer. I wasn’t sure if I had parked incorrectly or what I had done wrong. Finally, she just rudely pointed to the sign, as if I was stupid for not seeing it. They were no longer accepting donations.
I get that they’re volunteers and it looked like they were swamped. But they make money for their cause off of donations like mine, and I fail to understand why I deserved to be talked about and treated like a dog. Couldn’t she have used WORDS when I got out of the van? I dunno, like, «I’m terribly sorry, but we’ve got quite a pile to sort through here and we aren’t able to accommodate any donations at this time.»
Nope. Just disapproving nods and sign-​pointing. I assure you, it was much more rude and passive-​aggressive than I can describe. I’ve got no idea why someone would volunteer to work with the public when she clearly has no patience for them.
I realized how ridiculous it was when I was driving home… to think: I apologized to HER for inconveniencing HER.
We will be donating elsewhere.

I am always the most hopeful and optimistic when it comes to thrifting, usually leaving empty-​handed, but returning soon after in hopes that some cool, 50 year old woman will bring some goods that she used to treasure in her 20s.
Even though this particular store has an unnecessary collection of junk items (like waaay too many outdated china, books, music, etc), unlike other thrift stores like Goodwill or Salvo, you really gotta be open-​minded, careful, and CREATIVE with what you see on the racks.
It’s small, so not much clothing. I got two things from here on two separate occasions and I value (d) them very much. One was a pair of «chinese» maryjanes that I once saw at Urban Outfitters for $ 10 and I got them for $ 2– brand new. My most prized possession, however, is a $ 3 vintage side purse– small, square black patent leather with gold lining. It was clean and sturdy when I bought it, and still holds a special place in my heart three years later.
Things to look out for:
–coat rack. Like fur coats (hopefully faux). I saw leather jackets before, and if you know how to tailor, or like to get things tailored, this is the rack you should check out.
–shoes. I think they have a great selection of vintage shoes. It’s just that, you either have to have large feet or tiny feet…
–bags/​purses.
Unfortunately I don’t dig any of the jewelry they hold. But that’s all a matter of taste.

Hmm, this isn’t the best kept thrift store. It’s packed with items & can be hard to shop. I’ve only found a few things that I had to have for our apt but that’s it. Like I said, it’s hard to shop so I haven’t been back even though it’s right down the street. It looks like they may get TOO many donations because items overflow out into the store front & also in the back. Maybe I’ll have more luck next time.

It’s a small place and they put out a few things each day. I found what I was looking for and it was a good price. Clothes are in good condition and if you need a shirt or blouse come here…
Kitchen stuff was ok. Shoe area was not pleasant.
I only came here to look for a black suit jacket and found 2 at $ 5.00 a piece:-) a black vest for $ 3.00.not bad for my 2 boys who are going to use it in a play for 1hr;-)

I donate and shop at this thrift store alot, it is a clean store with a good selection of merchandise at reasonable prices, I always find little odds and ends here. Stuff moves thru the store fast, I have donated items in the morning and come back in the afternoon to shop and my items are on the shelves for sale already, this store makes use of everything that is donated as they reuse paper and plastic bags which is a HUGE plus in this day and age, nothing goes to waste. There is some staff at this store that could use some work in being friendlier. I have had positive experiences as far as donating items, there is a young man with a big smile that works out front and is always ready to lend a hand in helping take my items for donation from the trunk of my car, this is a huge help as I am older and it is nice to see that there are people still willing to help the older crowd, the inside staff could be more helpful and friendlier some of them look and act like they don’t even want to be bothered. Overall a nice store with good prices. Senior day is Wednesday with a 20% discount.

this store is neat, clean, and one of the best thrift stores in the area.
you should check it out for yourself, and see if it isn’t great and fun too. if you see something you want, you better buy it then, because it won’t be there later. stuff goes fast. prices are good and newer items are always on the shelfs everyday. it’s not a department store, so everything isn’t there, but what ever i need is there and at an affordable price.
so yes i’m happy to shop at MCC thrift store. it is nonprofit and the money goes to help feed and supply clean water for disaster relef situations. as a nonprofit it has a AAA+ rating too. so you could donate (by buying an item) to help any disaster situation in the world and feel good about it.

This place used to be one of the better thrift stores in the area but it has turned into a place for the gathering of over-​priced junk. The kitchen items that are sold there are often broken or have missing pieces so it doesn’t make any sense why they would even be sold. A lot of the items that are priced there are WAY over-​priced; my husband wanted to buy a poncho there to wear for Halloween and they wanted $ 20 for it! I mean, c’mon, it’s a thrift store! An adorable little child’s rocking chair I saw there was going for $ 40 and a lot of other items that should be cheap, like glassware, were also going for $ 2 – 5 a piece. Plus, many of the volunteers are cranky and don’t speak English very well, which makes it hard to communicate with them.

Volunteers have not been as friendly anymore. I had a cold drink during a hot day. An old, snippy volunteers told me I could not bring the drink in with me. Another showed me the sign on the door. I get that for kids or teenagers, but I’m over 40 for cryin out loud. Like I’m going to spill it on all of the 2^nd hand items in this store? I’m not a slob. That didn’t help matters on that hot day. I had to leave my cold drink on the front counter — while all the ice melted and my drink turned watery. If I wasn’t there with other people I would have just left. Shame on you volunteers! The deals inside are not much deals anymore either. This was around the beginning of this year this happened. Used to like shopping here but no more — Haven’t been back since. I don’t need old, snippy volunteers to leave my cold drinks (that I just bought) at the door. It’s volunteers like that that keep me away.

Words can’t begin to describe how wonderful this store and its volunteer staff are. You can always find great bargains and lots of smiles.

perfect. they take donations recycle! lovely low key positive staff that sees the brightest in any situations. very nice!
