Salvation Army Thrift Store

An alternative the both Salvation Army or Goodwill.
Via my daughter:
I found a place in Riverside called Hope Services, polite young, man well dressed, met the car, answered questions, helped off-​load the car, without asking gave us coupons and donation receipt …
I will never again give to Salvation Army or Goodwill, both being polar opposites of Hope Services…
Cheers

Great place to drop your items off. They are friendly and helpful

If you are insulted by staff that ignore you or give you awkward looks, you should stay away. This store does have a few odds and ends, but nowhere near as much as Goodwill down the street. Also, this is a good place to buy old furniture, it’s only redeeming quality. Other than that don’t waste your time

I love thrift and antique stores. I had seen this one a few times and never made it in. Finally I made it a point to check it out and I was not really impressed. Location was older upon sight and when I entered it was like a giant warehouse. I got exciting thinking the hunt was on. I began looking and immediately noticed the prices were a bit high. I mean all items are previously used. Tank tops were $ 5.99. I kept looking to see if there were deals and all the prices were about the same. If you were to purchase these new it would be about the same if not cheaper. A pair of children’s shorts from Walmart were priced at $ 4.99. Half of the stuff was junk. I was let down and after making a lap around most of the store, I made my way out. Employees seemed very unhappy and I do not think I was even noticed. I guess I am spoiled with most thrift stores and their friendliness such as Goodwill.

The employees here are extremely rude!!! I just came by to drop off some donations and the young african american with orange hair directed me to drive to the back alley to drop off my donations. I asked why and he said «that’s the way we’ve always done it.» I was dumbfounded. I’ve been here before and have always beem able to drop off my donations at the front counter. He then proceeded to tell the hispanic lady at the counter named Eva to explain to me the procedure. She told me that they weren’t taking donations anyway. The staff here today were very rude. I will be taking my donations elsewhere from now on! I wish I could rate negative stars at this location..

Store is dirty and the area were the shoes are at, smells. Some of the clerks are rude. There is a Spanish speaking clerk who drops the prices for the Spanish speaking customers.

I am sooooo disapointed in this so called «thrift store», it is more like a «trash» store and it stinks. They are the weakest I’ve seen for household items, such as dishes, pics, candles, etc., most of their items are literally falling apart, they should be thrown away! I was looking for vintage household stuff, maybe they are better with clothes??, they have a ton… I guess, if you could handle the stench while shopping :(.

This is an excellent thrift store for furniture and housewares. It’s clean and well laid out.
