Community Services/Non-Profits in Arcadia, CA

“A friend of mine who volunteers her time with the Assistance League of Arcadia at the Bargain Box told me to check it out and so glad I did... 5 stars!!!!! If you are a fan of the Huntington Collection in Pasadena, you'll be sure to love the Bargain Box. Just like the Huntington Collection, I can't call it a thrift shop since it's not like any thrift shops I've been to! Looks more like an expensive antique shop when you step inside. I was blown away by the quality of the available merchandise, especially the housewares and decor. It's very evident that all of the pieces on sale were meticulously cleaned and staged by the hardworking staff. All of the furniture and housewares are excellent condition, not to mention very well priced. Make a point to visit before Halloween! The store is all decked out with Halloween decor! The Bargain Box is managed by the Assistance League of Arcadia, and one of their worthy endeavors is Operation School Bell, which provides much needed clothing as well as school supplies such as backpacks and books to children in need in neighboring local schools. There's a small parking lot but there should be plenty of street parking available if needed. Also, be aware that the store has limited hours since it's managed by volunteers. It's only open two days a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 10am to 1pm.”

“Friends of Foster Children (FOFC) has been a very supportive group of our organization Hathaway-Sycamores for many, many years. This year even with the Covid-19 Pandemic these group of women and men got together and put out wish lists and collected items for our boys and our campus. They even collected enough to give each one of our youth an Amazon gift card. What a fabulous group! Thank you so much!!!!”

“Always a great spot to stop by and find some cheap affordable items. The staff is always amazing super friendly and helpful. The store is smaller but to me its quality over quantity; i love this goodwill and its staff.”
