Comment: What a hidden gem! I had been searching for Halloween costumes for a couple of weeks and we decided to stop by and check this place out. I am so glad I did because I found a costume for less than $10. I will definitely be back.

Comment: I called and arranged a pick up the men were polite, efficient and courteous. I called today for another pick up and the number has been disconnected. I hope this is temporary.This was my mistake, as I misdialed. I apologize for any confusion, I have arranged for another pick up of very nice goods.

Comment: This thrift store has good prices on clothes, and they are set by type (all womens shirts 2.99 for instance) and certain tags are often half off. They only have one dressing room by the front desk which is a little awkward. But I got 2 nice shirts and 2 shoes for $5 total, so its worth looking through

I have found so many things i have decorated and furnished my entire home with furniture from there. The enployees are very friendly and helpful. I highly recomend it. Whenever I need something first I go there and then every where else cause i find most of everything i need for the house.

Comment: Theyre friendly, theyre local, and they have the best selection and the best prices of all the thrift stores in town.Today I had a bad experience with the customer service at Goodwill, so I came over to Visalia Emergency Aid Council Thrift Store and the interaction was the exact opposite.Even though the employee, who I think was the manager, told me they dont actually take desks, he explained it in a nice way and even agreed to take it to the dump along with their large truckload for a $5 donation that covers the dump fee for it. I donated $7 and went inside and spent $20 more on items. There was such a huge difference in interactions, and you can read my review of Goodwill in Visalia for the whole story. This employee or manager at Visalia Emergency Aid did something that may have gone against their everyday policy, but it was simple for him to do and he solved my problem.I think Ive written less than five reviews in my life, but today I had to do it because I experienced one-star and five-star customer service within a span of forty five minutes.
