My wife and I recently attempted to make a significant donation of a treadmill to a local charity. Upon our arrival, we noticed a five-man crew busy unloading a donation truck. As I observed them handling various pieces of exercise equipment, I expressed my relief that they accepted such items, mentioning that I had a treadmill to contribute. Unfortunately, my comment went unnoticed, as none of the crew members acknowledged my presence or responded to me. After a brief wait, I finally received assistance when a second man approached. However, he informed me that the treadmill was broken and that they could not accept it. I had disassembled the treadmill into parts for easier transport, which I explained to him. Seeking clarity, I requested to speak with the manager. When I did, one of the crew members began to argue with me in front of the manager, falsely claiming that they had said they would attend to me shortly. This confrontation was not only unnecessary but also disrespectful, especially in front of the manager, Clayton. I have donated numerous items over the years, and I have never encountered such unprofessional behavior; typically, the staff is friendly and eager to help. As a result of this experience, we have decided not to donate to this location again. The rudeness and lack of appreciation we faced were disheartening, especially from an organization that relies on community support. We have other options for donating our items, and it is disappointing to see such a lack of gratitude from a charity that should be fostering goodwill and...

We donate to ARC and Goodwill on the weekly due to our business. Customer wanted Habitat, so that’s where we went. We make sure that what we donate is in good condition and sell-able due to the fact that we donate so much.
Went to the Greeley Habitat with quite a bit of really good furniture. The girl immediately said: we can’t take that couch. The leather is scratched.” My husband’s point: it’s not scratched. It’s rustic and was manufactured that way.” She was extremely rude.
She went and got a male employee. He was also rude, rude, rude. Had to ask him twice to not get into the truck due to liability reasons.
So, we took the entire load to ARC. They were very greatful for the furniture and put the first couch on the floor before we were even done unloading the rest of the truck.
We will try to deter our clients from wanting to donate to Habitat...
Read moreThis store is a joke. I donat estates and was thinking this would be a perfect place to donate too.. let me just tell you I’m soooo happy I “vett” the places before I donate. This place is a complete scam in my opinion. They take the donations and mark it up an astronomical amount..
They want 150 dollars for vintage broken plates? 250 dollars for broken cabinets? Don’t forget to mention the sigh in the front stating “40% off everything unless stated otherwise” yet everything has a “NO DISCOUNT CAN BE APPLIED” tag on it.
They want to charge a fortune for things they have gotten for free.. but then don’t even bother wiping something down or sweep the freaking floor. It’s horrible honestly..
This is supposed to help the community… and honestly.. I only saw greed..
I will never donate to this place and I hope...
