“Thrifting is a hobby of mine so I always check out a goodwill when I see it. This one wasn't the best I've been to and definitely not the worst. It was extremely crowded and people were rude in store, but I was still able to find some treasures. I'm glad I stopped in.”
“Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon thinking I needed a new inner tube in my tire; turns out I just didn’t know how to use the adapter to inflate my tire. Parker was super sweet and helpful, filled me up, and showed me how to do it myself next time! Will be back with any future issues!”
“LOVE this garden center! Supports a beautiful mission and also has a great selection of plants for all seasons and for good prices. They have garden plants and some succulents and houseplants as well.In the winter you can walk into the greenhouses and the warmth, humidity and of course the plants, are sure to uplift your mood ??☀️I bought many veggie starts for our summer garden which were good quality and produced well for us. I loved that there was such a good variety of tomatoes and peppers as well as other vegetables.Also they had a great selection of fall mums and other fall plants which I purchased to add to our front porch planters. They were great quality and great prices - you really can’t beat that!”

1700 Spartan Dr Room H104, Elgin“CTE has been the most amazing experience for my daughter! Everyone from the adults, to the older kids when a show is combine with FVTC to the fellow young actors have been positive, supportive and loving. She has made some amazing friends and has absolutely found a new passion in acting!”
“We went on Raptor Day, so parking was $20/car (usually free). It was money well spent, and also knowing the funds are going to help with conservation. The staff/volunteers were so knowledgeable and friendly, and spent time answering all our questions. It is also a beautiful area to hike around, with some great spots for photos.”
“It is members only and I was invited as a guest for a small event. They had a nice private room for us to dine in with excellent service. The dinner menu was limited but very much in line with a hunting and fishing club, venison, walleye as well as some more standard fare. I cannot comment as to pricing as the menu had no prices but all in all an excellent meal ( I had rib eye steak and sampled the venison) and a five star experience.”
“Excellent staff, awesome nurses and social workers. I’ve visited many nursing homes/ therapy places, Oaks by far is the best. They really care and treated my mom wonderfully.”
“My wife (God rest her soul) was introduced to Senior Services through community service she did for a project and the people that work and volunteer there had such an impact on her that she changed careers to devote her talents to work with our elders in the community. Amazing group of people.”

100 S 3rd St, Geneva“Amazing non-profit responsible for advocating for children within the abuse and neglect court system.Has a variety of wonderful (and much needed) donation opportunities.”
“Anytime I have an appointment here, the staff and nutritionists are very kind. They provide resources if you are struggling and are not pushy when it comes to breastfeeding and offer formula no questions asked (some WIC offices push breastfeeding so much so that if you decide to formula feed they make you feel like you have no choice). Would 100% recommend this location.”
“We came upon a bunny nest abandoned with one baby bunny left and Anderson Humane center quickly called back for us to bring it in and was so knowledgeable, kind and reassuring that the baby bunny was in good hands. Can't recommend them enough!!”
“Great service the store is clean and organized well I enjoy stopping in and finding a fantastic deal.Maria and Raul are very helpful with getting your donations unloaded when you arrive!! Enjoy”
“Where do I start! FSA does an amazing job at working with all family's and helping them in their current need. The staff are all super supportive and do their job with excellence!”
“I've had such good luck finding some fantastic treasures here!! You just never know what you're going to find unless you look at EVERYTHING!! I really like to take my time since not all items are in the correct sizes. Don't get me wrong, this store is clean and organized. Everything is sectioned off. The dressing rooms are easily accessible. Just make sure that you bring your own bags or boxes depending on what your planning on buying. Here's one of my treasures, it's from Victoria Secret Pink and it was $6.99!! I absolutely love it!!”
“I appreciate this Goodwill location because they put out new items more often than the Salvation Army store in St. Charles. Lots of dishes, trinkets, and my favorite — craft supplies. Some prices are too high for the quality/condition of items, but there are lots of reasonably priced items, too. Clean bathroom available inside so I am able to browse for a long time if I want to!”

5550 Prairie Stone Pkwy, Hoffman Estates“I worked here as a medical case manager from 2014-2020; at the time we primarily served the HIV+ population here, helping those who need access to healthcare & medication. We also had STI testing, case management, behavioral health services, & referrals to local dental offices. Open Door also went to local community events as part of outreach & prevention. We had people here who truly cared about the patients & clients who came to our clinic. I left in mid-2020 due to change in management that sadly made the clinic a toxic environment to work in. I hope they have turned things around since then for staff & clients' sake.”

“I’ve never had a cat before and I adopted both of my cats at their Bloomingdale Petco location and everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. You can tell they really love the animals. They also provided me with a lot of resources to help my cat settle in. Love my cats and would definitely adopt from here again??”
