Best Donations Center Fayetteville Near Me

neutralbeige01: Dropped off a donation of gently used clothes and shoes in a black trash bag and it was a quick and speedy process! We were greeted kindly and it was a nice in-and-out.

Ashley Wilson: I keep trying with them and am disappointed every time.I’ve always been an avid shopper at Goodwills in Arizona (where I’m from), and believe in donating for people like me to find use of good stuff that just isn’t needed anymore.I’ve found that the Goodwills in NC are just no good. All of them are unorganized, shady, shabby, and the people are overworked. The ones in AZ are just as credible as your local Kohl’s or any other retail store. But out here, they’re definitely the desperate place to be, which is unfortunate.On top of that, every time I come to donate, the people complain. They don’t want the clothes if they have too much of a particular category; they don’t want loose toys (in AZ, they have a whole kids section with loose toys that the kids can choose and bag and they charge by the bag); they don’t want books in boxes because it’s heavy, but they don’t want them in bags either. There’s usually no one there to help you whenever I go, and if there is, they discourage most of the things you’re trying to donate to make their job easier. But, that’s taking away the opportunity for the store to make more money so they can better fund community outreach, employees, and the business as a whole.It’s honestly ridiculous.

Clayton Boyd: Place should stay open as advertised. Got there with a donation 5 min before closing and they claimed they were closed. I showed them my phone time and they said their 'timeclock' already showed time as 5 min later. Their mechanical issues shocks not be passed on to customers or donors. Won't be back.

Isaiah Williamson: It sucked terrible place bad staff don’t come here ever!!!

Denise Tickal: Mostly all clothes!

Caleb Dison: Probably the worst one I've ever been in. It was a clean store but very unorganized. It was 99% clothes and nothing was in Size or Gender order. It was just everywhere. If you have hours to sift through the whole store you might find some things but I do not have that patience.

Ednie Miller: Employees were rude.

Scott Delacruz: Was nice

angie yates: Some nice items mostly clothes. Some staff talk very loudly and rudely about customers as they go through the store. Not sure this will be tolerated in an actual retail store.

Irma Santana Trantham: Occasionally I will find something to hear

Missie Rockholt: Can find some great things at a decent price

Cindy Perrone: It was pretty good. Got a bag full of clothes.

Maritez Rodriguez: Very unprofessional. Went in to buy a few items.#1 Nothing is marked, not for women's, men's, children etc.. #2 The whole 45 minutes no one said we're only taking cash until I get up to the counter. Credit cards were not being accepted for 15-20 minutes, meanwhile 25 minutes later still wasn't working. Doesn't accept $50s or $100 bills when paying by cash customers very upset. Oh and doesn't accept Goodwill gift certificates. Crazy right? They don't accept their own certificates. Will not be going back!

Erik “Popeye” Wagner: Plenty of clothes to pick from. Children toys and knick knacks

Ava Maldonado: Great selection and very well organized

J Brown: Very clean and employee's were very helpful.

ThinkLife Pro: We have been visiting this store for a long while. They usually have a decent variety of nice items to choose from but we think their prices can be high for resale. But the staff is pretty friendly and helpful.

Kitty's Katering And Event Services: Amazing staff. Very clean and organized.

Casandra Boyer: Went to drop off items and got no help unloading. However, as I was bringing items in I was told they can't take play tents, they can't take bags of toys etc. Only large items that can't be put in bags!!!??? Had I known this I wouldn't have let them get my big ticket items and went else where. They are rude at this location and honestly a rip off. I don't shop here but been a frequent donor... ummmmm no more!!

Shahari Pierce: This is a nice sized location. They have an excellent selection of clothes, which is organized very well. The home decor and furniture selection isn't that big, but it too is well organized. The employees are very professional and friendly. Good experience overall.

Bran F.: We love this thrift store. Things are actually priced like a thrift store here, in comparison to places like Goodwill. Goodwill has a bad habit now of believing it’s Walmart, and thus you pay Walmart prices often. But Helping the Orphans Thrift Store actually has things for mere pennies and dimes. Bedspreads for $5, huge lots of dishes for $20, kids toys galore under $4, and clothes for nickels on the dime. They even have fill a bag for $5 sales. I’ll admit, the name of the store throws me off a bit. But I love their items and will be coming back a lot. Especially with two littles of my own who’ll definitely want some new stuff to play with and wear as they get bigger.

Rebecca Ludwig: Amazing staff. Clean store. Great selection and prices

Wayne: Very courteous and stayed late to let me shop and good prices

William Todd: Fantastic place, love the atmosphere.

NeKwan Perkins: I all find great items here and love supporting a worthy cause.

Denise Van Avery: Love this place. Great for women and children clothing

Kay M.: This is a great store.

josephine k: Nice place prices are little too high for a thrift store though

Joshua Gow: Decently priced items, but this location is difficult to park at, or get in and out of, there are no bathrooms as others have mentioned, and the selection is generally smaller than the other locations.

Sara Knight: Daisy is a very nice lady

Nathan “N8” Starling: Not bad, and its for a good cause .

Jeff Stallings: Clean, friendly

Christine Dechenne: Very helpful clean store so much to see prices are great

Brayden Green: Lots of cool stuff here

bobbi vandusen: Excellent customer service at 2 different locations. Great prices.

Orlando Melvin: Nice stuffs not really affordable thought.

Michael Perry: Great local thrifting for a good cause.

Leslie Cowell: I can’t believe how very nice the workers here are! Every time I go in there’s a sale on a different thing. Good variety of stuff but.. as a mother.. PLEASE stop stapling the price tag on baby clothes 😭 it tears them apart.

Zachary B Barber: Friendly

Tracey Borja: Bargain finds, friendly staff

Wendy Tyndall: I drive from another county, nearly 30 minutes away. This morning I called to be sure that I could donate. Then, I get to the donation center to sit and wait for 2 hours because I was ill informed about the staffing issues.

Juanita Johnson: NEVER GO HERE AGAIN I WAS LEFT UNCONSCIOUS IN THE CHAIR FOR 15MINS AND NOBODY CHECKED TO SEE IF I WAS DEAD OR ALIVE LET ALONG , NOONE CALLED MEDICAL UNTIL I WAS WOKE AND CONSCIOUS. WHEN MEDICAL CAME THE YOUNG LADY LIED ABOUT THE TIME SHE HAD CHECKED ME , SHE COULDNT EVEN GIVE THE LADY AN EXACT TIME SHE CHECKED ME , A GENTLEMAN SAID HE ASKED THE LADY MULTIPLE TIMES TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY BECAUSE I WAS ASLEEP LEANING OUT THE CHAIR AS IF I WAS DEAD ...THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS SHAKE ME AND GIVE ME AN ICE PACK , AFTER ME TELLING THEM I WAS DIZZY AND FELT WEAK AS IF I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE..THEY WAS STILL TRYING TO DRAW BLOOD FROM ME IN THE SITUATION UNTIL MEDICAL DEMANDED THEM TO STOP DRAWING THE BLOOD AND RETURN IT BACK TO ME ... I WAS ALSO TOLD I WAS NEVER SUPPOSE TO BE SENT TO THE BACK BECAUSE MY IRON WAS TO LOW BUT THEY SENT ME TO THE BACK ANYWAY .. THESE PEOPLE ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING YOU IN FOR COMMISSION..THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT SAVING LIFES BECAUSE THEY ALMOST TOOK MINES

Adepressionyoucantsweatout: If I could leave 0 stars I would. They blew out my husbands veins on several different occasions (almost every time he went in). The staff is rude and unhelpful and uneducated on what they’re doing. Go elsewhere. This is the worst in town. Don’t bother wasting your time.

GHL Yungsity: These people will let the janitor Stick you with a needle

Tyler Tickle: Place is slow as it gets, staff is rude place looks gross. I sat for an hour to be seen and no one said a word to me and there was not even a line of anyone else waiting. I just left waste of time do not go here there’s others around that have great reviews and staff

Ash Nac: This place is RIDICULOUSLY unprofessional. You’re literally sitting in the chairs waiting to be stuck or waiting to be unhooked for at least 20/30 mins. The young girls just walk around and talk. Tbh see you need to be stuck and still don’t stick you and rather talk! They ALWAYS have attitudes. You’re literally in the back WAITING to be stuck forever making your 30/45 min trip into 2/3 hours. They’ll stick people that came AFTER you, it’s gone down hill and im tired of it

Ant Date: Britney Hutchinson the phlebotomist did a great job. YeahShe was informative, caring and understanding customer service and I will always request her awesome service. Highly Recommend this location!!!!

The Outsider: It was a good experience. It was my 1st time at this center. I prefer a different center of a different company. Too far away though.

Samaria Smith: Sarah is the best period 💅!

Tabitha Johnston: Always a reason why they can’t never open on time

Diva Wuan: Phlebotomist Brittany was patient thought I was concern I didn't hear anything back within 30 minutes, People came in after me were able get hooked up while I was still patiently waiting patiently. Minimum line on Monday no line on Wednesday. If I wasn't always deferred to medical prior to donating I could realistically be setup to donate within 10 minutes of entering instead of 90 minutes. First day phlebotomist was also nice and was skillful in putting the needle in my genetically small veins. Staff have a very friendly almost family like vibe throughout this place. Some are blunt in their delivery which to a person that wasn't use to dealing with that personality type I can see as being misperceived as being rude. Than in some cases patients not being fully explained specifically why they may being deferred I can see why that can cause irritation and lead to this place having a current 2 ½ star rating at time I'm giving my rating. Only thing I'll recommend is some staff need just little customer service/etiquette training. In addition questionnaire need be updated to reflect people that identify as trans and/or nonbinary. I give this CSL location 4 out of 5 stars.Above statement were my thoughts prior to October 26th. Since than, I was deferred not once but twice due to high heart rate that didn't seem to happen til it was time for me get my blood pressure check. All my other numbers were normal and my temperature always between 97-99. It took the head nurse figure out I have white coat syndrome which elevates my heart rate only when I have to have my heart rate checked which now makes sense considering my diet is healthy, I avoid exercising, caffeine consumption and sugar consumption prior coming in. First two times I donated I got my blood pressure checked in a private room which could explain why my heart rate wasn't up because I wasn't stress by the nurses at the front desk but when trying to make my third donation my heart rate was up. It was only when the doctor and nurse took my heart rate in the medical room it was within normal range yet nothing could be done to cancel out the deferral. I was deferred first time for 2 weeks. Returned after my two week deferral around November 17th only be denied one more time and forbidden from even trying the following day. If it was going automatically put me on a 30 day deferral why didn't the nurse simply inform me so I wouldn't waste my time coming back the following day? Guess silver lining of me returning the following day was the head nurse and doctor informing me about white coat syndrome. Only because of the head nurse and doctor along with one of the other phlebotomist that first attended to hooking me up to the machine the first time I donated, I'm giving this place two stars, without these three I would say this place deserves no stars. The nurses at the front are rude, dismissive, lack basic medical knowledge and excessively vulgar. Staff don't mind cussing like they're at home and even having the audacity to complain about wanting go hom. Even though their shift just started and only few people in line . Do not waste your time coming to this establishment.

Jennifer Goodwin: Too much standing in line. Plenty of chairs but you have to c stand. Employees are just talking amongst themselves.

Lonnie Walton: If workers would stop talking and laughing

Ivan Mancilla rebollar: DO NOT GO HERE !! Disgusting facility with a even worse staff. Everyone that works there with the exception of maybe 2 are extremely rude and disrespectful. Awful attitudes and will make fun of you for being broke in your face. The phlebotomist chew gum and eat food on the floor while doing your blood work. Awful experience every single time. Save yourself the time and go somewhere else because this place is horrendous.

Resse Turner: Today I donated and couldn't even receive my payment smh. Then the staff states that their payment que is down and that it will be hours before we get paid. We as donars weren't informed of this until after. It seems as if at this center there is also some type of issue. If it isn't short staff extremely long waits, running out of supplies like needless. CSL really needs to get it together. This doesn't scream professional

jonathan coltsfan: Employees alway fighting takes forever super unprofessional

Flecherlene McNeill: Service is HORRIBLE

Matt Gray: Dirty! Their infection control practices were sub par. One person was taking vitals the with the same gloves grabbed my ID and paperwork. That is inexcusable.

Rachel McLean: Ms Betsy and Ms ebony were fantastic and on the ball while everyone was conversating they were working there butts off. The place was packed and because of them the line was dwelling down.

Rich Litty: A lot of workers have quit and it has changed the whole process of donating. They should really work on hiring more people or getting their workers to focus on their actual job instead of talking to each other nonstop. AT LEAST not have an attitude after we've been waiting and want to stick with needle more aggressive than usual. This is supposed to be a professional establishment I assumed.This is the most workers I've seen since I've been here but somehow they are taking longer to get people going. I've been sitting in the donor seat waiting to get hooked up for about 30 mins to an hour and there are only like 2 people ahead of me waiting as well but they are still seating new people. I would not recommend donating here unless you literally have nothing else to do that day because they do not care about you or how long you wait or your time or money.

chris powell: It is so bad. You sit in the back waiting to be hooked and there is 8 people waiting and everyone working is standing in a group talking about stuff that don’t matter. Maybe you won’t be an hour behind on appointments. If you just stop talking.

Brandon Giambra: Really slow to get in the back and they are racist and do not care if you make an appointment or not. They let the friends skip every one and of you say anything they differ you. Nasty appearance and no customer service. You either get skipped and yelled at or just go home. I choose to stay home

Norman james: They Definitely enjoy wasting your time they need to do better I havnt successfully donated in 3 weeks because I end up leaving and if I'm not leaving my arms are getting bruised because they are untrained! I'll use today as an example my appointment was at 930 and here I am still not in a bed at 12pm this is the reason they beg people to donate and send you fliers and texts to come back NO ONE WANTS TO WASTE THEIR TIME ALL DAY FOR SMALL DONOR FEES IF YOU EXSPECT US TO WAIT PAY BETTER! THE STAFF CHIT CHAT INSTEAD OF WORKING NOT TO MENTION THE NASTY ATTITUDES THIS PLACE HAS GONE SO FAR DOWN HILL OVER THE YEARS YOU CAN UPDATE WHATEVER YOU WANT EXSPRESS KIOSK NEW MACHINES NEW SCALES ECT. BUT NONE OF IT IS EFFECTIVE IF YOU DONT SPEED YOUR STAFF UP ALL BAYS SHOULD BE OPEN ALL BOOTHS SHOULD BE OPEN COME ON NOW! I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO DONATE THIS PLACE IS BEYOND SLOW

B C: I deleted my old review, and started to write a great review...but as always there's always a negative to a positive. Although the service has been the best I have ever seen in the past years, trying to get through on the phone is absolutely hard. Now Ms. B is great on answering phones, so apparently when I need to call, she must be off cause I can't get no one to answer. I also sent a email and still nothing. I would love to give a five star review, because the ladies in back in the morning are doing excellent.

Nicholas davis: They don't help the costumer out by not answering the phone. It could be something simple and short .

Space N. Time: Corporate really needs to review this whole process! I feel awful for the few hardworking employees at this location while others stand around doing nothing and angry donors are left waiting for hours.

Chelsea Parker: My 4th time donating and the staff is very unprofessional, the wait time is ridiculous considering you have to make an appointment! They just sit around a chill. I was literally waiting on the back for 1 hour , finally got out on a bed and waited another 30 minutes to be stuck while the staff just talked and chilled out! This will be my last visit here because I can’t deal with the unprofessional mess they have going on!

Justin Hardin: You’ll have an appointment and get called back a hr plus and then sat again when they stay using the wrong blood pressure machine on you. This place needs fixed

ericka jones: On Sunday (11/20) this center had no staff. They were 4 1/2 hours behind on appointments, yet donors still waited patiently. After finally getting screened and placed on a bed, the donors were told that there were issues with the water lines and no more people could donate for the day. How disappointing it was to wait 4 hours and not donate. What’s more disappointing is that the donors were not given an apology, no form of compensation (for our second donation of the week), and majority are now disqualified for the frequency frenzy bonus the center offered for donating 8 times between 11/7 and 12/4. This is truly unacceptable. I called the center the following day to see what they were going to do for the people they screwed over Sunday, and nothing! I will not be returning and will be taking my referrals to Biolife. Maybe they have staff that actually wants to work and will treat their donors better. (They PAY MORE ANYWAYS)

Loso Morrison: Aaliya did a great job with setting me up and stickying me it made the process great and it didn't take long for me to donate.... 11/11/22 Aaliya thanks again ur the 6est

SaDonna O: Ok I went to donate today! I had a smokers cough cause I have emphysema, well here is where I stand, I be yelling and talking to my attorney Monday why you ask? I felt discriminated because it was an African American lady telling staff about my coughing! So yes I been discriminated against I am white and manager and a African American ladies!!! I don’t need this treatment of it!!!! AGAIN I BE CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY ON THIS MATTER AND YES I BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!! We will see the outcome of it all!!!! ALSO VERY VERY VERY RUDE STAFF!!!! ALSO I HAVE DR PAPERS STATING SMOKERS COUGH AND Emphysema!!!!! YALL SEE I HAVE IT ALL AND I WILL BE TALKING TO MY ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS MATTER ON DISCRIMINATION!!!!THANK YOU!!

Trey Locklear: This place needs to work on answering the phone been calling for a week straight all it does is rings. Need to fix this ASAP

Quiona Dockery: use too much saline everytime I donate it be having me feeling woozy wait time to get screened took a hour and a half

Brianna Barber: Might as well not even have a phone, they don’t answer it. I get they are training new people, but they have gotten slower about things.

Michael Benn: Slow slow super slow always behind thy talk to much most of the workers rude

Tristan B: I'm confused at how there could possibly be so many positive reviews. I have never spent less than 2.5 hours here and usually walk out because they have missed my appointment by over an hour. What is the point in having an app to make an appointment if you don't get seen for over an hour after? What a waste of time. If you dare to ask the employees about the time, prepare for a hostile and unprofessional response. Like it's somehow my fault they are running late... I'll start looking for another place to donate.Edit (Aug 4): Made the mistake of coming back to this place again. I had a 12:45pm appointment and they are currently on donors with a 10:45am appointment. 2 hours behind!! This time, I tried calling ahead to confirm that I could get in at my appointment time, but of course no one is answering the phones. They are literally ignoring the telephone. Another waste of my time!!!

A Purcell: This was my second visit to this place and second time donating the experience was horrible! The girl who stuck me evidently did it incorrectly I don’t work there but I do know the needle was not relaxed ! I could tell something was not right from the previous time I had been there! Then I felt like I had to tell them how to do their job! Once the culp loosened and never started back I immediately knew something was wrong! Her and some other workers had walked by but no one attempted to check the machine until I called one of them over and of course not the one who actually started the machine , I explained to her something not right which I shouldn’t had to that’s they job! She came over and checked the needle and the machine and said it’s not flowing that’s when I asked can she restick the other arm she went on to say how that arm might not hold them she gone have the nerve to open up the machine and show me my blood that she wasn’t going to return and say I couldn’t come back for 58 days because of the blood not being returned and that she was gone go get me a Gatorade to drink I’m look at her like she must bumped her head ! So I called the older head lady that’s over them over and she explained we have to give her blood back and she did her job she stuck the other arm that they claimed probably wouldn’t hold but all in all I will never go to that particular site again WILL NOT RECOMMEND this place !

Michelle Mckiver: Some of the employees have nasty attitudes and are very rude!!! The last 5 or 6 times I have came I have had appointments and they are always atleast a hour and 30 minutes behind. And alot of employees just stand around talking. 🙄 I have never been here where they were not behind. Why make appts. If you can't keep up with them? Thanks 😊

Manyse Bethel: Worst center EVER!! Never coming back here !

KIMBERLY MCKOY: WHY HAVE APPOINTMENTS IF IT IS 2 HOURS AFTER THE APPOINTMENT IS SCHEDULED BEFORE YOU CAN CHECK IN AND GET INTO THE BACK. THIS PLACE IS AWFUL....I CAN NOT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES THEY HAVE MESSED MY ARM UP, TO THE POINT I STOPPED GOING. OBVIOUSLY THEY NEED TO BETTER TRAIN THEIR STAFF AND HAVE BETTER TIME MANAGEMENT IN HERE (IF STAFF CAN CHITCHAT AND BE ON THEIR PHONES, THEY CAN BE WAITING ON THEIR CUSTOMERS), STOP OVER BOOKING APPOINTMENTS ALSO. I HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT STILL GO AND ITS THE SAME THING. APPOINTMENT AT 10AM, 12:10 JUST NOW GETTING IN THE BACK! DO BETTER GROVE ST, YOU HAVE PEOPLE WAITING IN 100°WEATHER FOR HOURS PAST THEIR APPOINTMENT TIME!!MY FAMILY MEMBER HAD AT 7AM APPT TODAY AND ITS 8:40AM, STILL WAITING TO GO TO THE BACK..."VIP" EMPLOYEES ARE BEING TAKEN AHEAD OF THE SCHEDULED APPTS. THEN THEY WONDER WHY DONATIONS ARE DOWN? BECAUSE OF THIS...PEOPLE HAVE LIVES, JOBS, THINGS TO DO BESIDES SPENDING ALL DAY DONATING PLASMA FOR CHANGE...SMH..THEY NEED TO SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN IF IT CAN NOT RUN PROPERLY!!
