The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center

"The prices here are just about what you expect. It's a great selection and one of my favorite in the area."

"The prices ate higher than they need to be. As much as the money is to help people, people with lower incomes shop here, too. I was accosted by a gentleman who appeared to be the manager. I purchased a new shirt and used shorts for a meeting I had to attend immediately and had spilled a drink on the clothes I was wearing. After the purchase, I told the clerk I was going to change in the restroom. Sge said fine, but to make sure I held onto the receipt. As I was changing, this man came barging into the stall I was in and demanded I change in the fitting rooms. I told him to leave until I was finished dressing. Awful experience! Then, as I was leaving, this same gentleman placed a sign at the entrance informing the public that they were not accepting any more donations. This made my blood boil... If they have so much goodwill donations that they're filled to the rafters and can't fit another item in the store, then why not lower the prices on the inventory already in the store or have a grand sale and still take the donations that kind-hearted people were bringing in? Poorly run establishment. I won't be returning."

"I've had pretty good hauls from here. Selection is pretty large, and the store is well organized; not too cluttered but doesn't feel empty either. Also fantastic drop off system. One of the easiest places to donate in the Des Moines metro."

"Agreeing with previous posts. Prices and selection used to be great, but prices across the board are crazy high now. I think they’re looking up collectible prices on eBay, but that’s not why we’re at Salvation Army (see picture for example). Also computers and check-outs lines weren’t ready for business."
