Best people ever there they really helped me in a way I cant imagine I wish I would have asked their names because I would have named everyone here but thank you all so much God bless you all
Dropped off a donation and was given a tour and in depth information about their mission. Thanks Nicole for your time and expertise. I will continue to bring my donations to this facility.
Great place found xmas gifts there in the retail store.
Nice place to get free items. They have clothes, shoes, toys, dishes, bedding, movies, music and books. They also except vouchers for work boots and certain work clothes like hospital scrubs. They also have handmade items and crafts for sell. This is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people in need. Every year, they have a coat drive for school aged children. Very organized. The workers are helpful and very nice.
Very friendly staff, lots of lovely handmade items and other beautiful things to purchase for a good cause.
I try to donate what I can thats still useable. Theyve changed their hours to mon-wed. Seating is back, and theyre still taking precautions which is good
They have a very nice gift store, very friendly staff. They also do great stuff for the community . Free clothes , coats gloves , new outfits for underprivlaged kids for school. Cant say enough good things about this place.
A wonderful organization that gives free clothing shoes toys and other stuff to people
Good place for those in need to get clothing, household items, small furniture. Donate anything you can to them they get it to people who can use it.
I enjoy going to get the free stuff
Such an awesome place doing good things and the staff are wonderful! Always good deals tp be found and all profits going to a good cause. Their handmade items are so nice.
I went there to check out their quilts. They have a large selection that they hand make on site. Reasonably priced, too. When I stopped the shop was full of Christmas stuff, two rooms full.
I volunteered at this organization and enjoyed helping out with what they needed. They have good quality clothing for the entire family. They have new and used in good conditions. Every person needs to contact the charitable union to some much needed items.
The single stars for the Commonwealth A.K.A For you reading. Very small selection of mens clothing. The womens clothing is sufficient. But this is 100% donation and volunteer establishment. Keep reading if youd like to help contribute through ideas. ( A side note for Mgmt on how you could drastically improve your establishment) I applaud what it is you guys are doing and represent. However, your lack of advertisement. Is the main anchor on your ability to achieve your Noble and altruistic goals. As it stands it greatly helps those in desperate need. However, no one knows this place exists. Getting the word out will bring more and diverse donations. Also, getting the message to people who need this places accommodating charitable gifts. You have the ability to drastically benefit the whole area. I hope you find the constructive criticism with in this.
The gift shop has great homemade gifts and other items for sale. I also love what they do for the community.
Excellent gift shop with 5 star employees 5 star service each and every time! I got such great deals for Christmas gifts this year! Thank you Charitable Union.
The charitable union is a great place for people to come that are in need of clothing and small house hold items. We help everyone who has a referral or a bridge card or a medical card and the homeless. We also help fire victims. Everything that charitable union has is donated. There is two parts of the building, one side is the free store where the clothing,small house hold items,books, and such and then the other side is the gift shop where we have a sewing shop and homemade items and some of the donated thing that are in good condition that are cleaned and sold to buy items need for the free store that dont get donated. In the sewing area the volunteers make all kinds of wonderful things like potholders, potatoe bags, bowl cozies, big foot pillows, little foot pillows, MI pillows, and quilts. I think everyone should stop by just to see what is there....
The staff are very kind and compassionate. Never do they make me feel bad for getting help when I need it. They have many wonderful programs to help get people back on their feet.
Rosa is a wonderful lady, she is very welcoming and they do a good jog making you feel comfortable and I also got a referral for a pair of nice steel toe boots!!!
I dont normally have a problem. My only problem is people taking things from volunteers before items can be put on shelf. That allows no one a chance to look. I have times of 1 bag or 3 bags.
The place is amazing they do so much to help people out I wish more people donated
Its nice that people donate nice stuff to help out people that are on fixed incomes thank you thats your things at the store helps me out when I do find things I could use
PLEASE stop bringing in TRASH that people should take to dumps, or tell them to PAY THEIR GARBAGE BILL!!!!!

It is a great place to purchase gifts and more. It also helps those in need get clothing and household items for free.
Hours waiting and never was helped, saw bed bugs on items that were going out. Was told to just wash they will be gone. Not always true
Kind and helpful front desk ladies. An older lady there was a bit snippy and rude though. She needs more people skills.

The woman who checked me out was rude and made me feel worthless and unworthy to be at charitable union I will not shop there again I am not racist but from my experience in less you are a minority you dont deserve respect or compassion.

2021-02-03I called to ask what happens to the clothes when donated, and they were transparent when I asked. Before they put out the clothes for the community, they have them quarantined. The inappropriate clothes would be recycled, not thrown away. I highly recommend donating your clothes here! Not just for helping out the community, but for being eco-friendly.
