Plenty to choose from. Clothing was well organized, clean, and priced to sell. Volunteers were extremely friendly.

The thrift shop staff is always helpful and courteous. Admin is hard working and dedicated. Volunteers are committed and helpful. The board servants need training.

Yes, some people are rude (including staff and/or residents) and yes they have strict rules. But they are not hard to follow. If you need help, you have to obey like a normal and responsible human being. If things aren't going good, you can always complain or report and it will be taking care of. One thing I'm going to tell y'all, they know and can sense the people who really care, that really wants to get out & do something for themselves. The staff tries really hard to help everyone, but those that get kicked out or whatever, is because they really don't care. You also need to be willing to help yourself. I stayed here for like almost 5 months (back in 2018) and sometimes I miss it! this is because everyone in there were part of me, my life and journey. They helped me a lot! I immediately went out looking for jobs and had found a very good one at a bank so I was able to save up few thousands and left. I had support, a roof over my daughter's head and food! I spent important days here like my daughters and my bday, thanksgiving and was finishing my bachelor's degree as well. I am so thankful!!!! I was able to leave my abusive relationship of over 5 yrs and become independent. Till this day I am still single, not depending on anyone especially no men (Thank you God), loving and enjoying myself, doing everything I can to be a better person every day to make sure my daughter is healthy, safe and happy. I'm also pursuing my master's degree and finally found the job of my dreams. It takes faith; willingness, hard work, patience and persistence. Thank you Jesus and thank you Kendall County Women's Shelter.
