Connellsville Area Community Ministries — Local services in Connellsville

I don't know that I've ever donated goods to a less helpful or less friendly center.

I came around the drop off window in the back, where two staff ignored me.

I came in the front, where I was informed "we need to grab someone to see if anything you brought is worth having in the store." I have never, ever heard something like that about donations.

When the staff member came out front to check whether my donations were "worth it", he seemed impatient. Not so impatient that he actually helped unload any of it from my car, though.

The woman on the phone in their crisis department was rude to me and they offered me no help. Connellsville is a disgrace. Donate or...

Organization that does what is important for the community. Every dollar donated here goes to support the ministry in some way. The food pantry is the second largest in the Fayette County system and supplies needed items to over 600 needy individuals and families monthly. You get more than canned food with your supplement as local businesses are gallaient in donating overflow stock as well as healthy and nutritious food for the citizens of the Connellsville Area. The Care and Share Thrift store can't be beat with the prices and inventory. The volunteers and employees go above and beyond to see that the citizens of the Connellsville Area School District have their food and...
