Warren was an absolute gem! It was an great pleasure walking into this store to be greeted with such light. I’m sorry we don’t live in the area any longer, but I hope others can stop by for a browse, gab with Warren about good music, and pick up a few things that maybe a diamond in the rough. I know my 6 year old is really going to love the books and Dog Man Game we received from Warren and Set Free! Cheers to you and your mission. We look forward to seeing you soon
Best kept secret in Riverside. This store a blessing from God. I thank Him for leading me to a place where I know that the profits from my donations, go to help and bless, hurting people in my community. I absolutely love the staff, they are angels ❤️
Really sweet people, clothes are very affordable, when I went not to long ago they were below 3 dollars for a shirt and baby clothes were three for a dollar. They have many toys, clothes and baby items for those who need it. The people are super polite and sweet, definitely a character but super cool! Would highly recommend
I absolutely LOVE set free. This is an affordable almost give away store. I went to set freeiver 25 years ago. They helped me at a extremely low time. They'll help anyone, that wants to hear the Word of God and leaves the judgment with the only One worthy to judge. They were not about money then and the thrift store will show you they haven't lost that fact about then. Please Abba Father bless then all with You in Jesus Name Amen. Great place
used to be one of my favorite places to frequent, but as of recently most "volunteers" just come in to take anything that is of value, some are reselling outside of the thrift store, these items are being donated to the set free church, very immoral and hopefully there is a change
