For those who don't want to work, handicapp, ill, can't work, or homeless there is a shelter for those in need. I think it is great that the city has this for them. It is not a place to sleep but a place to eat. You can on certian days go there and eat all you want or even take home food. Somedays they have donations delivered for the poor here and all that go there take it. I drive by this place everyday and wonder how they got like that you know. With such little jobs out there and many hard to find, these people do not even try to find it. Most of these people are very poor though and I have seen young women and children enter this place and my heart just melts to see them in that situation. It is SAD. We should be glad for all that we have really. This place not look nice outside but it does good.
PROS: helps the poor, state pays for it to be held up
CONS: not alot of donations go there

This is a huge store with very reasonable thrift store prices. 40% of the store is devoted to furniture, 40% of the store is devoted to clothes,shoes, accessories, and the remainder 20% is devoted to ("Bric-a-Brac") toys, books, household items(dishes, pots/pans), etc. They have half-off days, and it's NOT by color tags like other thrift stores, it's by category. The staff are very friendly and readily available for help. Another bonus, they have local pick-up of donations from your home. It's convenient to have them come out and pick up your "old" sofa/chair, etc. Just ask them for the #.
PROS: Great prices and sales, local donation pick-up
CONS: close a tad bit earlier than other thrift stores

This store is open 6 days a week, providing a full variety of items at a price that is easy on the wallet. From clothing, to furniture, books, appliances, and even art, they have it all! Wedsnesday they offer 50% all clothing. Be sure to get there early for the choicest pickings. All other days they offer 50% off on certain color coded tags (whether green, white, yellow, or blue). Check out the unannounced sales marked on the front door as you enter. Sometimes you can pick up furniture for 20% off (or more, as the manager is always happy to negotiate a price.... Everything must go, and a large portion of the proceeds go to support a good cause...) It doesn't get better than this!
PROS: Great deals on clothing and more; open 6 days a week; price negotiable
CONS: Parking lot is in strip center and sometimes full; not enough registers

I really enjoy shopping here. The prices are good and the place is clean. The wide selection of items to choose from is big. You can always find what you are looking for and some things you weren't. And it all goes to a good cause.

I have been going to this church since I came to this country. Currently their is a very low amount of people that come but its getting better. They have their own basketball team for the kids. So this way kids can stay out of trouble. Also they have food services for homeless people. This church is a great church. No wonder my family has been going here for ages.

The Salvation Army does a lot of really good work. When the wild fires surrounded the city of San Diego a few years back, the Salvation Army was just one of the many organizations that sprung into action to help out the residents of San Diego. The Salvation Army is also the organization that we are all familiar with, the volunteers that we see during our holiday shopping that stand outside with the red kettles ringing the bells. Obviously, the Salvation Army is most noticeable around the holidays, however it is important to remember that they help people all throughout the year, and that in order to do so; they need the help of everyone. Whether you make a financial donation to their organization, or you volunteer your time, the Salvation Army provides so many opportunities to get involved. The San Diego location of the Salvation Army, located on 7th Avenue in Downtown, San Diego is known as the Centre City Corps. They not only help feed the homeless, but they also minister to the spiritual needs through church services, provide coffee and donuts to seniors, serve meals after church services, distribute food bags to those in need and so much more. The staff is especially helpful. The volunteer coordinator Mary Gordon is a very sweet, dedicated, devoted woman. She will help you find the perfect place within the organization to volunteer. Give her a call today, and she is sure to help you get more out of life by volunteer work and the satisfaction of helping others. You won?t find a more devoted, caring, and loving staff then the staff of volunteers at the Salvation Army anywhere else in San Diego. They are also responsible for the spectacular Ray And Joan Croc Corps Community Center!
PROS: They do a lot of good work for San Diego and around the world
CONS: The red kettles are only around town during the holiday season!

Parking is a pain but it is really worth once you get inside and look around. Nice people working there and the selection varies from nothing to classy. You have to look, seems to be a lot of dealers in there so something is right
