Nice place to get free items. They have clothes, shoes, toys, dishes, bedding, movies, music and books. They also except vouchers for work boots and certain work clothes like hospital scrubs. They also have handmade items and crafts for sell. This is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people in need. Every year, they have a coat drive for school aged children. Very organized. The workers are helpful and very nice.

The single stars for the Commonwealth A.K.A For you reading. Very small selection of men's clothing. The women's clothing is sufficient. But this is 100% donation and volunteer establishment. Keep reading if you'd like to help contribute through ideas. ( A side note for Mgmt on how you could drastically improve your establishment) I applaud what it is you guys are doing and represent. However, your lack of advertisement. Is the main anchor on your ability to achieve your Noble and altruistic goals. As it stands it greatly helps those in desperate need. However, no one knows this place exists. Getting the word out will bring more and diverse donations. Also, getting the message to people who need this places accommodating charitable gifts. You have the ability to drastically benefit the whole area. I hope you find the constructive criticism with in this.

The charitable union is a great place for people to come that are in need of clothing and small house hold items. We help everyone who has a referral or a bridge card or a medical card and the homeless. We also help fire victims. Everything that charitable union has is donated. There is two parts of the building, one side is the free store where the clothing,small house hold items,books, and such and then the other side is the gift shop where we have a sewing shop and homemade items and some of the donated thing that are in good condition that are cleaned and sold to buy items need for the free store that don't get donated. In the sewing area the volunteers make all kinds of wonderful things like potholders, potatoe bags, bowl cozies, big foot pillows, little foot pillows, MI pillows, and quilts. I think everyone should stop by just to see what is there....

I don't normally have a problem. My only problem is people taking things from volunteers before items can be put on shelf. That allows no one a chance to look. I have times of 1 bag or 3 bags.
