Assistance League of East Valley Thrift Shop

"Pretty pricey for a thrift store. Rather small. I left empty handed and in no rush to return. I did see a lot of older ladies buying clothes so maybe things are better on that side."

"The utter irony of this place. For an organization that claims in its "Mission, Vision and Values" to serve the community through respect, equitable treatment, accountability, and such, the people who represent the store do not uphold these values. For a patron to walk into your store and be completely ignored while others are acknowledged is abhorrent. During my visit, there was apparent bias on who was acknowledged and who was not. I am a woman of darker skin tone, and never once did any of the four Caucasian women standing at the counter say a word to me as I walked in. A Caucasian man walked in after me and was immediately acknowledged. Additionally, patron after patron (all Caucasian) was acknowledged as they entered and left -- "thank you for coming in." When I left, not one word. Mind you, I don't need thrift store items; I am a professional who likes supporting philanthropic organizations and thrifting. So, thank you for showing me your organization's actual values through your representatives."

"Awesome thrift shop. Wonderful prices many 50% off days. All volunteers. You have to check it out. I love volunteering for the Assistance League at the East valley."

"Neat and tidy little shop. Affordable prices and kind staff.. lots of clothes if that is something you’re interested in! Small area for home accessories and a nice section of crafty items.. a nice little stop on our thrifting across America journey. :)"
