Joe Burman: It's satisfying to donate lightly worn clothing than to discard it.

Kimberly Dragan-Skutt: Very nice place with good people. But this is just a drop off. Not retail.

Lien David: This is not the droid you are looking for. It’s a donation place.

Pancakes: I just went today a couple of minutes ago and the process was quick and the woman working that was super, super nice! They even have little black laundry carts you can roll out to your car so you don't have to carry much (there's an accessible ramp also) Thank you so much! The tax 'receipts thingies' are right outside the door before you enter, to add! ☺️🌈

Sebastian Felt: Very good selection of used items

nancy brainard: Very clean and staff is friendly

AmarieB Lansing: Friendly staff. No store for 10 miles.

Craig Anderson: Easy and quick

E Dieter: Searched Google maps for a goodwill donation center near where I was driving. Maps sent me to this place as closest and open till 5 on. It was about 1:45 pm. There was a pile of donations in front of the building so I began to unload my donations when an older woman in a beat up old Chevy started screaming at me. She said she was sick of people dumping their donations on them while they were closed and screamed she was calling the cops. I didn't know they were closed and didn't see a sign saying no donations in off hours. I told her I had never been there before, so didn't know. She said she'd seen me there before and I looked familiar to her! She worked there. So, I collected my donations (in spite of the sign saying anyone taking anything from their sidewalk donation pile would be prosecuted) and took them to the goodwill on Saginaw in Lansing. Will never donate to the East Lansing store again and will be sure to call about their surly employee and her aggressive verbal attack on me and threats to call the police treating me like a criminal.

Anna Youngs: Good prices

Emily Elizabeth: Good selection of items, store is pretty clean, and parking is easy.

Tori Wenig: Convenient location for drop off. Staff is rude and will not help you carry anything in.

Caitlin W.: Everyone here is always very pleasant. I have tricky veins in my left arm, but several people have come up with ways to use both arms for platelet donations.

Ashley Hawkins: I have come here to donate blood a couple of times so far. The staff are very kind and caring. There’s always good, upbeat music playing and great snacks for after you’re done. Scheduling appointments on the Red Cross app is easy and convenient. They make it easy to donate.

John Doe: With a demand for donations and one patient at the center, how does a walk in get turned away? Like there isn't a shortage

Ana Henriques: Definitely not well organized.Received a call on Wednesday evening to donate blood since there is a severe shortage and as a O+ I can greatly contribute, got scheduled for Saturday at 8h45 AM (today). Drove 15 minutes to get there and arrived at 8h30 to make sure I was on time. The lady at the registration told me they were under staffed and could not take my blood. She was polite, still didn't make up for the fact of making me go there for nothing which could have been avoided with a simple txt or phone call. She asked me to reschedule, well I am not doing it for at least some time as I feel greatly disrespected. I have donated blood in different countries, it's the first time this ever happened.

Amy Bozung: People were friendly and helpful.

Jenna Thompson: I’ve been here at least five times and every time the staff have been so friendly, accommodating and humble. This time was different and frustrating. I had to wait outside for ten to fifteen minutes because the doors were locked (no problem) but no one was there to open them. The suggestion to call didn’t work so I tried knocking. After 15 min I had gotten back in my car and finally called a third time to which someone answered, sounded annoyed, and told me someone would come out. After getting in, I overheard a staffer remark how I was 13 minutes late for my appointment when I had been trying to get in and in fact, was late because of them.Nevertheless, I proceeded to give blood. I normally feel lightheaded for about 5-10 minutes afterwards, and have always laid in the bench no problem. After not 10-15 minutes where I happened to just need a bit longer, the phlebotomist suggested I shouldn’t donate blood if I “get sick” every time. I would have thought they would have appreciated that I know I get that way, and shared it in advance. Other than that one remark, which I believe was told by another unfriendly staffer annoyingly, the phlebotomist was very good.It was the systematic problems that disappointed me and made it an uncomfortable enough of an experience (not including the actual donation) that I would not go back there. I’m willing to feel momentary discomfort to help out others, but it won’t be here.

heather galat: very friendly staff, they seemed very caring if you are feeling light headed after a donation, they take care of you, will come back

Alice Astromech: Horrible wait times, takes on average three hours and that is with an appmt and the rapid pass. The staff is friendly although they often seem to struggle getting my veins.

John Geisler: I scheduled an appointment online to donate at 2 PM. It is a 25 minute drive from home. I walked in the door at 3 minutes after 2 and the woman at the counter told me they were closed. The room was full of people. I asked kindly if she could fit me and and she rudely said no with a snide, “I’m sorry”1 week later I arrived 15 minutes early for a 12:45 appointment and was told it would be at least a 20 minute wait from my appointment time to begin. 3 people behind me in line also had 12:45 appointments and were told that they had to reschedule because they could not get to them. Also while waiting 3 others were turned away. They continue to advertise that there is an urgent need for blood. UNBELIEVABLE!!

James Hatt: They have a good crew working in the platelet donation center

Raynebeau Noir: I really enjoy giving to my community. Because I've given before ARC now gives a pass via the website which makes check in much quicker. I was able to "skip" 2 steps, right to checking my iron level. Also they had run out of shirts downstairs but someone went to their storage upstairs and got me one for donating. The volunteers were really nice and had intriguing conversation as well. It was the best donating experience I've had in a while.

Brandon Tooley: Awesome people

Rissa Park: Everyone is talented so it's a speedy process. Both times I've been there been one snooty chick. Other than that good site. Frequent drives.

Bill West: Check in can be very slooow

Thomas Mulnix: Platelets donation. What would we do without those good people!

Gbear G: Great nurses to help donate! Quick and easy, more people need to go donate!!

Anna Murray: So helpful

CJ Ludwick: They do not accept clothing donations, but gavve me names of places that did. They have a food pantry.

April Keckler: Great place! They really help people in need

Jean Neil: Honest people and very helpful

J G: Phone service makes no sense for trying to donate large items/pick up. It’s a continuous lope and does not provide further options! Fix it

So a few weeks went by it was getting close to the due date for my payment. The landlord didnt hear from them i have called left many messages and even emailed the person. No response so here i am getting kicked out no where to go in snow with kids. So i had to do the hardest thing and give my ex the kids so they wont be homeless

Noel Foraker: A wonderful organization to help families in need for all situations. They truly try to help everyone and I loved working for them.

Aisha S: I am a Christian and I appreciate all the times they've helpedme and my daughter with the food pantry and personal products . However the last few times we have visited they refused to let my daughter age 9 come into the room with me to choose food and I am a single mother . She was crying and I was very uncomfortable with the fact they told my daughter she could not just simply stay with me . Last week I called to requested two bus tokens because I desperately needed transportation assistance to a medical appointment to treat a severe infection . They said no and to go call cata instead ? How is that helping those in need . That is not being a Christian . I am a good person and I trusted salvation army to help us but now I do not trust them and they act almost abusive in how they acted to my daughter . Thank God I have my dad who helped give me $5 that day to go see my doctor.

CasSandra Curtis: Open 24-7 for drop-offs love that option.

Tom Meerschaert: Ok.prices are getting ridiculous.
