Joplin Area Habitat For Humanity

"Highly recommend to stay away from this place, we went in to look for 2 minutes (only looking for one thing in particular) and were told they were closing soon, so we should come back. This was 5-10 minutes until closing, and all I needed to do was check if they had five gallon buckets, and I didn’t even look because of how rude the guy was. If you want people to shop at your store, you probably should not handle it that way. You can be super nice about it, and not hateful and rude."

"Really nice people,kit and miss on good items Money goes for a good cause that's why I shop there."

"Great place to go when you need a few items for a project and proceeds help the community. I do wish with all the employees I could have gotten some help because I wanted a cabinet."

"It's taking me about a year and a half to write this review. I've taken my time so I can be clearly objective. We purchase a home and have been remodeling our home to meet our decoration needs. We strongly believe in repurposing good useful items. That are clean. That function well. Out of our 10 donation trips to the restore, seven times we have been rejected. The most common phrase given to us is that the items were donating are not profitable enough. Not that they're useful to somebody but they're not profitable. When I question this. I'm told to look at the board on items that are rejected. None of the items we wanted to donate were on the board. Simply, they were not pretty enough for the person taking the donation to accept our items. They were clean, worked well, were useful to somebody that may need it but rejected! When I questioned the board I was told to simply take our items and throw them in the garbage. Instead of to be repurposed or directing us to somewhere else that would take our repurposed items. We were told to throw them in the garbage. How insulting to the repurpose community and to us. We believe in habitat for humanity. But habitat for humanity does not believe in us or people like myself or neighbors that want to donate. It's simple, if its not profitable or pretty enough habitat for humanity of Joplin does not want it!. I don't think anyone's going to take something brand new and donate it . Maybe one in a million. But everything that's at habitat is well repurposed. I must say I'm highly disappointed. I also do not see any advertisements or any celebrations of habitat donating to the community and helping somebody restore their home or rebuild or use repurposed items. Habitat for humanity of Joplin simply wants items that are pretty and that are profitable. For our household there will not be 11th attempt. We'll find another community/ business that wants to take our items no matter how much the profit margin, but will use the items to repurpose. I feel sad for habitat for humanity of Joplin. William"

"A great place to find a deal or donate to! Great for do-it-yourselfer’s! Get lots of ideas here and get to it!"
