822 5th St, Santa Rosa“We are obsessed with the Sonoma Land Trust. They exist to protect the land and conserve nature and wildlife. We go as often as we can and always bring friends. They offer community activities that are amazing and family-friendly. Our favorites are the outings and events which occur regularly out on the land. From the website: From mountain treks to botany crawls, bird watching to kayaking, there are many ways to join us on the land. We also offer lectures and events throughout the year where you can spend time with a community of people dedicated to preserving the land. If you join the Land Trust as a member you can go on their member-only hikes, which sometimes include hiking on properties that are closed to the public which makes them feel even more special. The public hikes are also informative and a ton of fun, even for kids, we went on a family hike that included learning to do wildlife tracking using animal footprints. Membership doesn't cost much, it's totally worth it, and it's such a great cause to support. Their website isn't listed on Yelp so here it is. The Bay Area is beautiful. Enjoy!”

3227 Santa Rosa Ave unit a, Santa Rosa“Unbelievable customer service. Had a young man come right out to my car to help me unload. Never had that type of service before. So easy to hand over a printer that Goodwill would not take. Thank you so much for being so accommodating”
“They are so accommodating. It took me 3 tries to trap the cat, and they never got mad at me for canceling the 1st 2 appointments. Super great organization. Great staff.”
“Beautiful facility and location. Was a guest here for a few hours in the morning as part of the Laguna Foundation vernal pools volunteer day. So happy to help out on restoring and preserving this chunk of land.”
“This organization's primary purpose is to protect the Laguna de Santa Rosa, an important watershed that starts at Cotati and flows into the Russian River. They educate the public in general as well as school aged children. Classes about different aspects of nature are often held and they often have art on display in Heron Hall. They are a GREAT organization doing important with for the environment.”

50 Mark West Springs Rd, Santa Rosa“We went to watch David Space and it was amazing, he absolutely slayed it. The venue is nice, the seats were comfortable and the sound and stage were perfect from were we sat in the middle of the first floor. The drinks are expensive of course, and the lines are long like everywhere but remember they had a bar area upstairs and two on the first floor. Bathrooms are clean and parking was easy. Another tip they had an exit gate out behind the building for exiting the parking so when the event ends everyone goes to the front and you will get stuck so you’re welcome!”
“I discovered the center when I first arrived in Santa Rosa. I can't describe the feeling exactly, but walking into the center made me feel joy, excitement, and that I'd found home. It reminds me of old Portland! I'm donating to help the center survive the pandemic and I hope you do too.”

“Well it not very big. It mostly womens. Clothes and shoes. A couple of rolls of glassware and an maybe two rolls of men's clothes . Nice cashiers and it ok pricing if you go there like I do once a week you can find some deals. Parking's okay had to kind of watch pulling out. Onto the street I wish the kept the one in Linton springs road it was great. To go there on a Saturday”
“I have been there before while working . Usually I avoid talking about personal beliefs at work , but because I have been interested In Buddhism since I read Siddartha as a kid and had a Thai fiancé at the time I asked if we could come here so she could feel more at home , the response I got was more than welcoming. I think Many people here have "Jai Di Maak Maak" , unfortunately never made it back , but plan on it soon.”

2965 Dutton Ave, Santa Rosa“Wonderful organization. I got my service dog Gavin from there. I'm glad that they were generous with me all these years and supported me through these challenging times. I could not be more proud of them for all for giving me the support that I really needed the most.”
“Everyone has to realize the women working here- are volunteering their time and energy to be there. They are not getting paid. The proceed go to scholarship funds. The store has some cute items, but just like any thrift store, you'll have to browse for everything. It smells a like old dusty times & clothes because (gasp!) they are! Everything has been donated. The workers aren't going to go and wash the clothes again. So let's please show these hardworking volunteers some grace. The volunteers are all very sweet and cute. They are friendly and try their best to help. The store has been reorganized and separated to clothing, household goods, etc. Whenever I'm in town, I like to browse and usually find something good.”

1455 Corporate Center Pkwy, Santa Rosa“My sister. who is severely handicapped, has gone to BI since its inception over 40 years ago. She loves going there and if anyone is not good to her she would let me know. It makes her heart sing. She looks forward to going back when in-person services are available. I emphasize with the parents who have written the other reviews who feel that that their children are not getting what they would hope post their school system experience. As a former high-up school system administrator, please understand the BI gets about 25% of the revenue to serve you child that the schools receive. BI's employees don't have the salary, benefits, retirement system of the schools so BI cannot retain them in the same way. This is not to say that you should not want your child to flourish as an adult. But there is only so much BI can be expected to do under the circumstances. I think that BI is fundamentally a good organization and hope that you, like me, will donate to it. It is the best option available that I know of in the market it serves.”

1821 Piner Rd Suite A, Santa Rosa“I found out about this place on my Nextdoor app. I normally take my donations to the Goodwill but the last time they wouldn't take several items ( like new cookbooks, brand new garden drip hose, plastic sealable bowls, etc). So I gave this place a call and within a couple of days they came to my home to PICK UP EVERYTHING. They Just asked to have the items in boxes that are closed so they can be stacked. I heard later about the good things they do for their employees. I'll have to pay a visit to their store.”
“All the volunteers here are amazing.Everyone works hard and contributes all that they can to help in saving the lives of so many animals every month, and getting them.placed into their forever homes.I adopted my sweet love bug almost two years ago from here, I am forever grateful for Compassion without borders.”
