Great experience! Ladies were so pleasant. Great buys. Love to go back soon.
I was 14 years old and I was charged for a minor offense, needless to say I was given a 40 hour community service at the Salvation Army. Now, I am about 26 years older I think that need to talk about volunteering for a little bit. Just pay it back and then I will be feeling better by the way I am positive, & helping out with the community.
Shop there at their resale store and more reasonable then Goodwill
I stayed there when I was homeless and I was told they have bed bugs, I only stayed 1night and decided to just stay in my car. I dont like the way they want you off the premises right after breakfast especially for single parents that have to carry all there things including the children thats so wrong when people have no where to go. It wouldnt hurt them to let them stay or at least be able to leave there things there especially when they are coming back. And the staff can be very rude.
I arrived in Abilene 3 weeks ago today. With no place to stay. $1.50 in my pocket. No job. The Salvation Army gave me a clean place to sleep. A good meal for breakfast, and supper each day I spent there. What more could anyone ask for.
If I could have given zero stars I would have. Telling a child no extra food, Id love to slap them into next week. Sunday meal is supposed to sit down and talk . Family time . Still wondering when they are going to open the kitchen back to normal ???
Another really great organization. No, theyre not perfect, but they still go above and beyond to help the community. The store is nice, clean, and usually with a fair amount of inventory. Not real impressed with some of the pricing, but everything costs something. :)
Was picking someone up for work that was staying there, employees were very generous
Interesting thought to be considered not for everyone but ALWAYS a good place for some help when youre down an need it But you sometime have to go against the grain but the staff is nice an the social workers are simply the best
There are bedbugs in there a lot and roaches in the kitchen. I know of one kitchen staff worker that steals food from donations that are brought in. The Drug & Alcohol Program is good in my experience but they work you to hard.
This place is disgusting. My husbands parents got a bed from this place and the bed had bed bugs. Now they have to spend a ton of money to get rid of them. Really is this how you treat people after a house fire!? Seriously? The house just got rebuilt and now its infested with bed bugs thanks to yall. Congratulations for continuing to put people further and further behind!!! DO NOT BUY FURNITURE FROM THESE PEOPLE AT ALL!! You will be just like they are. Infested with bed bugs.
Good safe emergency shelter, not without rules, but all very reasonable
If you want to give to a charity, then the Salvation Army is the place to donate. I would say 90% of the money goes to help those in need, and they are quick to answer a call to disaster relief. Please give to the Salvation Army.
This listing is for the shelter I disagree with a few of the comments left and would like to put a more realistic comment based on my previous and current experience being at this place. For one I have never had any issues while staying at this place the staff has been really helpful. The place is clean. As of right now I can reassure others this place is easy going. The staff working up front are reasonable and keep everything running smoothly. The captains are kind,friendly and common sense based and will work with others to the best of there ability.Service are animals are allowed here. There are no bed bugs in this place. Family rooms included. There is alot of helpful resources in Abilene we came from conroe last August after being homeless for several months unaware of what resources were available to us. My gut told me go to Abilene. Abilene is a great city to start out in if youre trying to better yourself. However the POLICE have Low tolerance for LIARS and DRUGS and #THUGS. If your trying to help yourself and your kind and courteous to others I recommend coming here this is a friendly family faith based city. With Lots of people willing to welcome you with open arms. Goodluck Tom. ^.^
I always find good deals here the staff is friendly and very helpful.
They didnt have a very big selection and close have black hole when Im never really pretty bad
I love to help the salvation army because people and children in need deserve as much love that we can give as a nation. The more inspiration we give to the world the faster they will be able to inspire themselves to push forward and get back up.
I think some prices are high for a thirft store. Things arent always clean .my mother found a pot with a bunch of grease in it. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Have the stuff to keep you safe. Masks and wipes to clean your cart.
Remodeled this store. Its beautiful and clean. Friendly, helpful staff.
Sometimes me and my wife go up there to eat a free meal when we are in need . Roy has a bad heart twards gods people . when someone comes in off of the streets you are supposed to open 3 things . 1 your house 2 your fridge and 3 your heart . i dont know who he thinks 1 very small sandwich fills up but He doesnt want to give out any extra. Such a rude jerk . i hope the new majors make some big changes. And the A hole Roy needs a foot put into his behind
Don’t bother scheduling a pick up because they won’t come. I was going to move today and scheduled the donation pickup for yesterday and the driver never called. I called the store this morning and was told he’d be there he was only running behind, talked to the manager and was told the driver left early and would be off the next 4 days. Thanks for nothing.
I called salvation army late Christmas Eve for a kid we had just taken in and had nothing to give. They checked around that night until they found something to give to this kid. Such a blessing!❣️
Salvation Army, helps alot of people. They have helped me. THANK YOU ! SALVATION ARMY.
I have had the pleasure of working with Shelley for holiday meals and distribution of toys through Toys for Tots. She is an amazing woman and I wish I had a quarter of the energy she has!
WHY Does the Location here in Abilene texas seem 2 have different Rules Than what others Do ?
Always a good place to help those in need good place to donate items needed.
Our first time in was real nice and you can pick up on real good deals a little bit of everything
They give 5 night free to start staying there after that you pay and have to leave at 6am and check in around at 4:30pm have to leave the property until 4:30pm they they serve breakfast lunch and dinner everybodys welcome
They had a great lunch that day, hot dogs if I remember right. The people are ok, they do what they are told to do which is ok i suppose.
Great friendly staff. Never a problem unloading
They are needed but kind of rude. I was given permission to go out of town to work and was discharged for staying out overnight
I do not hate the place I just think they can do better with all that money 💰$$$$ they collect
I love going to the salvation army but they did not wash their clothes you need to wash
Awesome organization with great employees whom really care about people. They really do serve a need in the community!!!
Good prices just watch what you buy somethings too high
Great Place to shop
They wouldn’t let us in when there was 13 minutes before they closed
An awesome place with nicely priced items here! Very reasonable too!!!!
You can find brand new clothes for cheap. Remember to look around to get a deal
Sweetest ladies that work here and always good things fairly priced...
Why would one be surprised that a bed had bedbugs - and why would one buy a used bed from a thrift store?????
Ate there. Food not horrible. But was refused any help.
Needs to offer more service to the cummitty
Some of people are rude. There and they treat homeless people not good
Got a remodel and all of a sudden they got an attitude to match.
These people care. It is such a worthwhile charity. I urge anyone who reads this to please donate to them.
Love it! Love the staff! Love the cool finds!
Will help wth emergency shelter and some utilities
I have a service animal and they say i have to have paperwork. I have paperwork, however I am not going to show it. It is an ADA law that they cannot require paperwork.
Very clean very welcoming loving caring people
The people make you feel at home and are always helpful.
When your down and out this is the place to go. Behavior yourself and they will help you.
Loving an caring people helped for the holidays thanks so much
For people who need a helping hand this place goes above and beyond the call of duty

2022-05-28Great place to go if you dont have anyplace to go (homeless) . They also serve Breakfast at 6:30 am in the morning . Lunch on some days around 1100 am to 1200 pm. . And dinner is at 5:30pm
Review №4
2021-11-15Cannot try on clothes-no mirrors to see how it looks-no refunds or exchanges. Theyve improved the shops interior but theyve stopped selling many donated items having seemed them as not up to their improved upscale interior. Its lost its previous treasure hunter charm.

2021-07-04My 1st time in a shelter. I had a bed, shower and AC. I am glad I will not be homeless long because the food was the worst and not at all healthy which I do not understand. The majority of people were elderly and sick. In the morning they were kicked out on the streets except a few could sit in lobby to stay cool No computers to help with looking for jobs, no TV, nothing. It was an eye opener.

2021-05-04The staff is extremely rude they dont wear face masks to ensure the safety of others. Most of the staff and or volunteers dont realize that if it wasnt for the community that makes donation are the ones who make it possible for them to be able to work there.. And they have the audacity to say will help you with thissituation this time!? How would they feel if we who donate say to them will donate just this once but we cant be giving you free stuff or money all the time.
