Kendell at rescued treasures fired me on 10-17-16 for discussing the bible with a donation customer. the following was the incident: (first the customer was all happy talking with one of the former workers at the mission = black under 6 tall he comes in to talk with us at the mission store a couple times a week, I think he has a factory job not Kenny although Kenny comes in daily & always talks to us. Kendell, Ryan, Tim & the rest of us always talks of what we believe with the bible included with No gag order in place) Here is why Kendell fired me on 10-17-16 at 10am: first off the customer was fun to talk to & he donated a puzzle that was put together of Jesus standing before the world trade center with the 2 towers still standing so I made the comment "where was he (Jesus) where was he b4 or on 911? the customer says yeah maybe he should have been there then I said yeah more then 3000 people lost there life that day then I further stated Jesus must been on vacation because it had a way bigger impact on the USA then just that day were 3000 men, women, kids & babies lost there life right here on american soil & even in the big apple NY (where was GOD!) the customer kinda agreed with me so I had to mention Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler: how GOD & Adolf Hitler are the same in aspects to murdering people: men, women, children & babies innocent people & animals accept Adolf Hitler would NEVER harm an animal & GOD treats animals like they are plants & GOD has a who cares mentality when it comes to innocent animals that is a FACT! back to my discussion with the customer: he brought a puzzle that was put together & made to hang on the wall. the picture showed a white Jesus before the world trade center in all his glory (before 911 with the 2 towers standing). I saw that & said yeah where was he (Jesus) before 3000 people died that day, the customer agreed with me kinda then said something thats in the bible then I pointed out Adolf Hitler & God are the same in FACT (by the bible) & the FACT (by our USA history books) that Adolf Hitler killed millions as God killed millions but way more then Adolf Hitler & the FACT they both NEED & WANT world denomination, Adolf Hitler was unsuccessful as God is unsuccessful even to this day. it will never happen & will NEVER happen as long as free will exist. I discussed this same theory with Tim but without the picture & he got bent out of shape & later said he should NOT have said what he said to me, I told mim its perfectly understandable what he said to me (Tim had a child of his die! its vary personal to Tim as it is with me (basically he would have fired me if he could but then he knew he was WRONG, I knew he was WRONG for the simple fact its a discussion & we are in NO WAY placing harm on each other). They both (Tim, Kendell & Rayen) have a big problem with how I view things & why because they have NO proof & I show proof of what I say, they cant accept the REAL TRUTH even the bible itself backs what I have to say about the BAD part of the bible that almost ALL people over look & try to twist it so its not that bad. Kendell never even gave me a warning & after Kendell said he had no use for my kind at the store I said I would not do it again if that is what he wanted = discuss my beliefs & proven understands of the bible & life period in effect putting a gag order on me & others (that have no clue of why or what they say) as ALL courts do. I asked Kendell to write a brief summery of why Kedell told me to leave the store before he signed my MMP slip, he said for the mission to call him I said ok cuz I was going right over to the mission right then so I did. I told Ron what I discussed with the customer One more thing: this is Crap & not lawful pay or no pay: I was TOLD to leave the store & for John to take over what I was doing because of my beliafes, that is the FACT here. I see an opoligy from Kendell right here. Tim opoligized for this vary thing & I gladly accepted it & said I understand.

This is the most disgusting store I have seen under any circumstances. Every cloth in there is dirty and stained with God knows what on them. And the fact that I got yelled at and smacked over a ten cent pin I touched that wasnt even behind the counter, tells me that any "unbalanced" psycho can work there. Its unbelievable that this place continues to stay open, no matter what good its for. Nasty people, and ridiculous prices are enough to deter any sensible person.

Though this isnt the nicest store in Kalamazoo, as others have said, the stores profits go straight to the people it is designed to help. Some of the people helping in the store are homeless people that live at the gospel mission, the stores sister organization. Which is more than other, more comminly known thrift stores do (that claim to help the poor). Local store tgat helps local people. Decent prices, good variety.

It is a local jewel in kalamazoo not only does the proceeds go to help the homeless but they continuously provide rescued items donated by caring people. I love this place.

The store is clean and organized. They are working on their new building which will be even better. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are good.

I understand that this is a thrift store but a lot of their clothes are stained or dirty. Not a great selection at all. Everything is just thrown together.

Nice used merchandise for sale at very reasonable prices from clothing to household goods and more. Workers could use some customer training though.

Amber Garms

Variety of different items used and new. Some donated items could use some cleaning before put out for sale.

Rose Marie

Dawn Pren
