“I received so much help from the centre when I first moved to the US. Things were already difficult when we first moved with 2 kids and with a baby on the way we could barely make it. It was a good thing not to think about diapers and wipes, not to worry about the shoes the kids grew out of so quickly and all the toys we couldn't afford. Thank you for all the help you provided.”
“Hard to communicate. The space seems to allow you to hear neighboring round tables than conversations at your own round table. But great place to go for community meals.”
“Really nice and knowledgeable budtenders. The deals are really great as well and typically there's not much of a line! Even during the holidays I was in and out in 30 minutes!”
“We adopted two beautiful, adorable kittens named Oliver and June from here. The adoption process went very fast and smoothly. Their foster mom, Bridget, was very sweet and receptive to answering any questions we had; we could really see that these two kittens were well cared for by both Bridget and the organization. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic nature center that cares so deeply for the land and people. They model Aldo's land ethic and have phenomenal programming for all ages. The trails are well maintained and there is a variety of ecosystems. This is such a treasure in the Madison area.I always enjoy how friendly and caring the staff are and their passion and enthusiasm for what they do is so obvious.”
“My recent experience with this store was a very good one. What made this experience so memorable was the interaction I had with Ms. Ellen. Ms. Ellen has a very calm personality which is an excellent skill given the chaos you’ll experience with the management team.In my experience, I felt like I was chasing after answers but no one knows what’s going on. Ms. Ellen on the other hand, looked at the situation, and calmly took control. Many thanks to her and other employees like this.”

“My two dogs just got neutered today and i was so nervous for them! let me tell you those tech girls are something else!! very attentive and caring and nurturing they all seemed to know what they were doing, and took great care of my two fur babies. I would absolutely recommend this place!!! I see a lot of nasty comments and I think we all need to think about the bigger picture and realize just how many animals these guys are taking care of and just one single day and how much it takes to keep the ball rolling and to keep these animals safe and with good vet care so I'm sure things aren't exactly perfect at all times but I do feel that they have great people working there who care greatly for these animals and only want to see the best outcome. Keep up the good work!!!”

1302 Mendota St, Madison“Went to Oconomowoc store yesterday with my 4 yr old grandson. He has autism and will not wear a mask. They would not let us in the store!!! Goodwills mission is all about helping people with special needs to be out in the community and making their life better, but they turn a child with special needs away that needs to be out amongst other people. He is not sick., always stays in the cart and no threat to anyone. If he touches an item, so does everyone else. The germs are there. What a sad excuse for a company I used to respect. No more!!!”
