Central Brevard Sharing Center — Local services in Cocoa

we tried to donate furniture, storage containers, chairs, and clothes. it was all piled in our driveway ready to go. admittedly it was a lot. when the guys came to pick it up, they took one superficial look, and said they didn't want any of it. nothing. didn't even look at the clothes, many of which were new. it was obvious their reluctance stemmed from the fact they didn't want to expend the effort to load it. obviously, we will NEVER deal with these lazy people ever again nor ever step foot in their dilapidated store.

Response to owner: first, the word you are searching for is "discretion." Remember, the dictionary is your friend. Second, you are a liar; our stuff was not left out in the elements, it was piled in the driveway as a courtesy to your drivers. There was nothing wrong with any of it as evidenced by the fact that the stuff we could fit in our car was ALL readily accepted at two other thrift shops in Merritt Island. They did however take a bike that was the oldest, and worst conditioned object there, but was also very easy to load. So yes, your guys are LAZY! You talk about "standards"? Have you seen the inside of your store?? Instead of being defensive, why not just improve your attitude and...

I think they’re one of the most inconsiderate unprofessional coldhearted shouldn’t even be working giving out nothing to no one especially the pantry me and my family have Covid. We had it for a while call them to get some food delivered. They said they can’t because they’re scared to get Covid. I told them they can just leave the food at the door if it’s possible but I guess people don’t matter nobody no matter to them I don’t never it was would expect nothing from Brevard county because everything over here is cold hearted, cold blooded they don’t care nothing about their self and they talk to you like you ain’t nothing but a piece of trash. The governments, definition, investigate them. I may be scamming and scheming out of peoples money and all that money that the family gets they can’t even help people get nothing done helping poor families out here they’ll care nothing about that all they care about is a paycheck. Every every time they get paid they don’t care about families they don’t care about nobody the whole county is...

Amanda the manager denied a giant tote full of toys and housewares this morning because the things she saw on top were dirty. While its true these donations were sitting in a garage for a while and no I am not cleaning them before I GIVE them away to a company that is going to SELL them... there are so many people that could've used this stuff. I personally shop at garage sales and many thrift stores and the dirt comes off. Shame on her. It was obvious she just didn't feel like taking the number of things that I had. This is like Goodwill #2 up and coming. Where they take stuff (only want new or almost new things, because that's what sells) and upmarket it like crazy so people have no help. We need more places in this county that give or sell with the intent to keep profits for sustainability of the building only. What they do is wrong. I won't be donating here anymore and neither should you. Please go to a church or Consider Lillies of the Field Outreach Ministry. Helping people in need should take be...
