Thrift Stores in Pontiac, MI

“Amazing shop with an extremely knowledgeable owner, and excellent prices. We were very impressed with April's knowledge of where everything was, and the overall organization and condition of the items. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“This place is wonderful, I love the atmosphere and the program is helping me get through life traumatic issues I have experience. My son is 3 years old and he loves it there as well. They teach you so many life skills. They are helping me get closer to God. They had faith in me when no one else did. They also understand me and gives me chances to better myself.They are helping me turn my life around in a positive way.The intake coordinator Jill is awesome and my therapist Ms. Tracy is a working miracle. All the RA's are very supportive as well especially Amy and Roberta. I would advise people to come here if you want to be a better person in life...If they can help me they can help anyone... I gave them tough time and they didn't give up on me like everyone else. They seen something in me that I couldn't even see. Thank you Grace Center of Hope”

“I visited this value world for the first time while in the area and was thoroughly impressed! I frequent some of the other south east Michigan locations and this one stood out to me on size, organization, and cleanliness. I felt like some pieces were more reasonably priced than what I’ve been seeing at other locations as well. I didn’t have time to go check out the whole store so I will definitely be back! Also found these finds -”

“Hey my friends at Oakland HOPE, especially my friend Norma, who supervises the store and organization, the variety of donated items for sale is on par and it's various, no matter if it's clothing and outerwear to the household items and decor, it's very fabulous and the volunteers there are spot-on kind and precise with the store operations. I've had the pleasure to thrift for a couple size 38 everyday vegan friendly pants back in January of last year and also donate a few bags of no longer fitting clothing and mistakenly gifted animal based clothing and other no longer wanted items to them on a few occasions since and I must tell you all and the potential and loyal customers that the donation process is over the top positive! It's super great that for a vegan like myself, there are plenty of mens clothing and outerwear without animal materials. Not so much for shoes. I hope they can one of these days in the future get vegan friendly shoes donated and mark them as vegan friendly or mark the materials that the shoes are made of, so vegans can see and decide easily without having difficulties.If there's anything negative and constructive I would add, is the lack of discounts. I feel the prices on some products especially clothing are right on board.. some of the prices are a bit unrealistically high for what the products are. Understandably and I love, the money goes towards their food pantry and other programs they have to give back to the community, but I wish they have a more discount system like Volunteer of America's or Value World's or even Council Resale in Berkley. Perhaps in a few occasions out of the year, 40 percent or even fifty percent off storewide and/or those percentages on certain types of items would be ideal and positive for the frugal thrifter. Maybe colored tag discounts would be nice as well. Otherwise, it's a 4.1 for me as the rating goes. I'll be back.On a side note, Raphael's Donuts, my nine year old diabetic safe gluten free vegan donut brand very much loves Oakland HOPE and appreciates everything you do. And we greatly love your support of my brand and company and even our ongoing expansion fundraiser as we're still active trying to get closer to our $20000 for our expansion into more retailers. Once of these days when we're done with our fundraiser and when we resume our operations at our rental kitchen down the street and get our donut products restocked in our nine retailers in four states plus secure more deals with more retailers, there's a strong chance we might donate some of our products to the food pantry. I'm sure you have a freezer and refrigerated space which would be ideal for my RD products lol.”
