If you like paying full blown retail for donated items, this is your place. Community Aid is trying to be a specialty boutique, like Buffalo Exchange or Plato's Closet- at least their prices suggest as much. The problem is, they don't selectively buy the items that people bring in, they take whatever is dumped in their boxes, but don't price it like they got it for free.They alledge to be "neighbors helping neighbors", but they're taking advantage of people with little money, who can't afford much. It used to be that poor people could at least look like they could afford decent things by going to places like this. Now, you can literally get the same things online, or shop sales at Marshall's, or even Boscov's, and get the same or better prices, with more selection. I don't know how they can claim to be a "non-profit". Dollar Tree items- $2. Bargain bin records- $15. Sterling earrings (that are $10 new) $15-20. And I get it. They can charge whatever they want. But the whole noble and altruistic angle needs to change. Instead of "Neighbors helping neighbors", maybe change it to "If you don't like the price, don't buy it".

I’m not sure how a place can be so big but still have nothing. Honestly, the vastness of the building is a real bait-and-switch. Many of the racks were bare, and unfortunately for me, it was for the items for which I was looking: men’s sweaters, sweatshirts, t-shirts as well as those items for boys and women. For a store that size, there was hardly any furniture or home goods. No electronics, cameras, etc. And the little items of the value or interest they might have, they mark up in price and place on special tables. I honestly think there is more to offer in any Goodwill I’ve ever been in. All was nicely arranged by color and it was certainly a clean place. I have to say, though, it kind of smelled like a bathroom sewage situation when we walked in—like how it smells when you try to cover it up with an air freshener or something. We stopped through coming home from a trip, going a bit out of our way to do so. Reading the reviews gave me the impression that this place was a worthwhile stop. That’s why I felt the need to write this; I wanted possibly to save others the trip if they, too, planned on going out of their way. Oh, they’re definitely piping in that Christian music in a very serious way—in case that isn’t your thing. This didn’t necessarily surprise me, but it doesn’t feel very welcoming to someone in the LGBTQ+ community and/or someone not aligned with the conservative message/Christian faith. Just saying.
