Editor's Review
Located in Riverside, CA, the Donation Center presents an intriguing mix of products that keeps shoppers coming back. With an overall rating of 3.8 out of 5 based on twelve reviews, it seems there’s a shared appreciation for the quality and affordability of the goods offered. As Judy Barcenas pointed out, the store has 'Affordable clothes. Great furniture, knick knacks etc; great place to shop.' This highlights the accessible pricing that many customers seem to enjoy.
However, not all feedback is glowing. Some shoppers, like Debra McMurry, have expressed concerns that the store has 'become over priced for donated goods,' reflecting a noticeable shift in their inventory and pricing strategy that may not sit well with every customer. Despite this, the cleanliness and organization of the shop received high marks, with Vickie Lomeli Carrillo noting, 'Love how clean and organized this store is.'
In short, while the Donation Center shines in areas such as cleanliness and product variety, it faces challenges with perceived pricing and inventory levels that could affect repeat visits. Shoppers looking for unique finds at reasonable prices may still find joy in browsing this well-maintained store.

Has become over priced for donated goods. Fewer books and shelves are not as full. Used to stay for over an hour now less than 15 minutes. They have a reward program that doesn't seem to offer anything. Self check fine with me. Toilets available. PS:...
Busy and semi-friendly staff person. However, the drop off was quick and efficient. Be sure to ask for a tax receipt.
Love how clean and organized this store is.
Very affordable, very good quality everything.
