Providence Thrift Store (Rome) — Local services in Rome

This would make MaMa Jean cringe if she knew I were sharing this publicly, but I hope it’ll maybe help others-in some way. I’ve had bags-MOUNDS OF BAGS-of clothes my child’s outgrown for, well honestly, a few years now. I’ve not been able to drive myself, so it’s hard to get out for necessary trips, much less with ALL the donation stuff in tow. I once called to have it picked up, but I realize, it’s no longer feasible for charities to pick up. I’ve attempted multiple times to call charities closer to my home, closer to the old downtown area, to no avail. I even tried calling several again today. Yet, I had a way to take it, and it was pretty much today or never. Do, the last place I called to beg them to take my ten back trash bags full of clothes and toys my kid had barely used, I got a sweet vice on the other end telling me “sure, c’mon!. Have a blessed day!” And I couldn’t hardly believe that they’d actually accept the stuff I know I could sell, some return to stores, but I want it to benefit others in need, and most of all-be used for the glory of God. I’ve donated to many charities who understandably weren’t accepting whatever I had at a given time, but Providence was happy to accept, and the people who I met today were grateful but obviously not in business for the money-they were there for the same reasons I was. I hope they can use the stuff I took and it will go to those in need or the proceeds from the sale will go towards God’s glory. That’s what it’s all about. Thank you, Ms. Angela...

I will say these are the nicest, most helpful folks, I have had the pleasure of doing business with. A young lady by the name "Amanda" helped me to determine what my needs were on a particular item ( washer and dryer) and the Store Manager by the name "Angela" was extremely professional and helpful in my needs with the purchase and they were both helpful to get me the assistance in loading my purchase on my truck, by a very nice man by the name "Billy". I would suggest if anyone is in the area in need of any appliances or general merchandise that they pay this place a visit, I will be back and I will tell everyone about my experience here. This is how a business is meant to be run , it is nice to see such a Great person managing Great people. And To Providence ministries you have been Blessed with True Assets to your company. These folks deserve Accolades and highest honors in Customer Service. I know in our trying times, in an economy like we have, stores like this with folks like you All have in Rome Ga. will Bless our World. Signed forever a...

I am thrilled to say, THESE ARE GREAT PEOPLE! I had to do community service here and when I say I LOVED IT ! It gave me peace, I meet new people from the customers to Mrs.Angela to the bigger boss, EVERYBODY made me feel welcomed, I was very nervous going in and I don’t know why but I was. I’m beyond thankful for the help they gave me and I’m beyond thankful I was able to help them! I ALSO HAD TO STOP MYSELF FROM BUYING EVERYTHING I SEEN ! I love this store I brought stuff for me, my son and grandmother before leaving on my last day, I will say this won’t be the last time you guys see me! When I need a peace of mind or bored I’ll always come volunteer and now I have some where to give all my items too ❤️❤️ Thank you soooo much Providence Family as a whole! I pray God continues to bless each and every one of you and the store as a whole, until...
