The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center

From what I have personally experienced, the Ames Salvation Army Thrift Store has by far the best customer service. A manager, Nate, was his name was professional, friendly, and kind. Such great quality of service and product as well Nate worked with my advocate to ensure everything I need for my apartment, was available and reasonably priced.

I enjoy the Christian music And the Christian books! They put out what is donated and who are we to discriminate against the religion of the store clerks and those who donate? That's just silly! The uplifting, lifesaving music is way more ethical and appropriate than other songs and stations out these days!

Picker's heaven at reasonable price. Friendly staff! Great hours!

I thrift for a living. My eBay store sells hundreds of items delivered all over the globe every month. I know thrift stores. And, this particular chain of Salvation Army Family Stores (Greater Des Moines, Ames, etc.) is, hands-down, the best in the entire industry. The stores are always clean and well-organized. The selection NEVER fails to impress and the staff is friendly and helpful. To that point, in my last trip we had a special request that required assistance from the district manager. Jenny worked with the store manager and in minutes, everything was in order and I walked away so very happy!! I mean, where else in the world can you find that level of service? Nowhere. The answer is, "nowhere."

Bought a dresser from here an it was very nice for $35 dollars.

Go here to find pretty, unique, or unusual items and/or clothing and shoes. The store is very organized and uncluttered.

Just went last night to get a few things. We liked it better than Goodwill. Going to go to The Salvation Army more often.

I was pleased with my finds and the price was good. I will return to see what other items I can find.

Love how they have a color every week that's half off goodwill needs to join in
