This place was highly recommended Unfortunately they were far from helpful for me I came looking for clothing items for myself as I told them before that I was already okay for my daughter and every time that I came to look I was not able to find anything I didn't realize that once a week meant once a week on the day that you came meaning if you came on a Monday you can't come again until the following Monday it was never specifically stated that way i told her i came from florida lookong for clothing and she said she didnt care and that people abuse them all the time. I said ok well im not im just looking for help for warm clothing which i got nothing im so disappointed in how Miranda acyed towards me. Suppoaedly here to serve the community and i what i got was far from help. Dont waste your time here

I haven't been to this thrift store and since reading the reviews, won't go. I've traveled through this part of the country every summer for many years, and have always looked for, and shopped the thrift stores along the way. In doing so, I've encountered many great shops where the employees are very welcoming and gracious - many of whom are volunteering their time in support of a good cause...
From the sound of it this store doesn't seem to get it.

They always have something there when your down on your luck. The people that volunteer there are so friendly. It would be wonderful to see more faces coming down and lending a hand. They are non profit and only all for donations on most items. So if you find yourself being to get rid of some pretty ok stuff is a good place to make a stop off and a lot easier then a yard sale!

Absolutely wonderful people
This was my 1st time and they do require your license since you are allowed 1 visit per week. This is a donation center that is available for anyone that really needs it so by only allowing 1 visit it ensures items are still there for everyone. I was so grateful to find a bed for my apartment and a chair along with some dishes. I paid a small price for the furniture and donated way more into the Donation Box they have at the front of the store. Not everyone can afford to donate but if you can please do. It will help places like this stay open and help people that really need it.

I have been shopping at Thrift Stores for 30 years, in many different states. Every Thrift Store that I have ever been to, the staff whether paid or volunteers, have been decent, polite, and normal.

There are all different kinds of people who shop at Thrift Stores, poor people, college students who want retro clothing, women who want vintage jeans, women who want 70s clothing, and people who want miscellaneous things, cheap. At Thrift Stores, I have bought tennis rackets, sleeping bags, binoculars, brief cases, televisions, radios, furniture, and clothing.

I went to two other Thrift Stores in Dickinson on Monday, and the staff were nice, normal people. I was looking for an old sleeping bag to keep in my vehicle for an emergency now that it is getting very cold out, and I found one, and some other things that I liked. I paid for everything, and I was happy, and the Thrift Store employees were happy.

When I went to the House of Manna, the second I walked in the door, a man sitting at a desk asked for my Driver's License, and said that I needed to register. I said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that this was a Thrift Store." He said that it was, but that I needed to register. I said, that I didn't understand, but that was O.K., I would leave.

You "Christians" who operate the House of Manna, you are some screwed up, ignorant, backwards, in-bred people. Every Thrift Store in the United States that I have been to, they want people to buy their merchandise at a price at which they can operate and provide money to their charitable cause, and provide clothing and merchandise to people in need, for free. You are alienating most of the people who come tor your store, with the expectation that they will be treated normally.

Why would anyone require you to show your drivers license to shop at a thrift store? This is a shopping place , not bloody security check at the airport. The lady was rude and the people taking the donations were not friendly. A true Christian organization would not be do condescending towards people . if you present yourself as a Christian organization then act like it! I will not be doing business with this organization.

I havent been to House of Manna in awhile. In the past it has run smoothly. However today one of the volunteers carrying only hangers was walking behind a black woman(carrying a bulky box) and shouted "out, out. Out get out!!" Very rudely to the black woman. The front volunteer also spoke very condescendingly to 3 black children whose mother went outside for a few minutes. I understand an adult needs to be with the kids, but she didnt need to be rude to them. I was shocked. Dont want to go again if that's how they treat people different than them.

Very rude. Also I think someone is hustling this place cause there isn’t much here. Nothing but really old stuff and worn out stuff. If you see something decent call it lucky. From what people say a lot of people donate here. But I don’t see it out. Maybe the volunteers get dibs. I don’t know. Maybe that’s why they yell at people, cause they don’t want them getting stuff they want?
