Community Aid is always super. You can find brand new items and other like-new items very reasonably priced.

Absolutely love this place. Sometimes you have to go several times to find your size, but you can always find something good. I moved an hour away a few years ago and still come here because it easily beats any of the thrift stores in my own area. Their donations aren't shady like other companies, either. I only donate to them when I'm getting rid of clothes since I think they'll legitimately do the most good with any donations. From what I understand, they even pay their employees pretty well.

I have always found barely used and sometimes brand new items with mfg tags still attached. You need to take time to go through the racks. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. We should purchased used clothing as often as possible to keep from contributing to the world's waste problems.

Do they sell table lamps and about how much do the table lamps cost

Sarah Jones | Dec 10, 2020
Deborah Yohe | Dec 11, 2020

I have been at community aid many times in Mechanicsburg but have not seen lamps. They have limited room for furniture and lamps. I havent checked lately but Salvation Army has a much larger footprint in Mechanicsburg and they usually have furniture in the back of the store. I would imagine they might also have lamps but have never looked. I dont know where you live but I have a living room lamp I am giving away. Burgundy and gold colored lightweight base with a beige shade. It is in storage so no picture. Just one.

Community aid used to be stocked with all kinds of household goods. Now they barely have anything. Why is that? People donate everyday. Where is all this stuff going?

Patrick M | Dec 11, 2019
Patrick M | Dec 12, 2019

Well that still doesn't explain why their shelves are almost empty. I think they are not capable of processing the goods fast enough due to employee issues.

Why is the store shelves always almost bare when you go in there 3 times a week? I don't understand. People donate stuff everyday

Patrick M | Dec 11, 2019
Jay Worth | Dec 12, 2019

Having volunteered at Thrift Stores, I know they don't always place all the donated items on the shelves. Some things are too badly damaged, cracked, etc. for them to be useful. Also, Community Aid tends to be more clothing. If you're looking for housewares, you might want to try the Goodwill in the shopping center across the street.
