About The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center
The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center in Oxford is a place that offers both shopping and community support. The store accepts donations Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm, closed on Mondays and Sundays. Many customers appreciate the store for its reasonable prices, especially on books and movies, with deals like 2 for $1. Shoppers often find quality clothing, including vintage and brand-name items, making it a popular spot for sustainable shopping and finding unique pieces. The store serves the local community, particularly the 6% of residents living in poverty, and supports many veterans. Visitors often comment on the acts of love and kindness happening in the store, reflecting the store’s core values inspired by the principles of helping others and love for neighbors. However, some experiences have been less positive. One customer noted rude behavior from staff, who were dismissive and unkind to shoppers, which affected their experience despite finding some treasures. Additionally, recent changes, like placing jewelry in large grab bags, have been disappointing for those looking for specific, individual items. While the store generally has friendly staff, some customers feel that assistance with carrying furniture is lacking. Overall, many find the store to be a good place to shop and give back, though improvements in staff attitude and organization could enhance the experience further.
This is a great place! I noticed, however, they are in need of an awning in the back to protect donated goods and the workers. It would be so helpful if anyone can volunteer materials and/or building services.

Recently the Oxford Sal Army has put their jewelry in large bags with several items in each bag. (Like a grab bag.)This was not a good idea. People come in looking for single items, and then shop the whole store. This is a disappointment.

Easy pull up donation around back. Friendly people doing good deeds.
