Are you looking for treasures? This is a great place to go for collectibles. It is a scavenger hunt. Need inexpensive clothes?Go behind the thrift store where they have their super deals.This is a great place to take your recyclables. Besides E-waste, clothing, they have bins for paper, different color glass, etc--so much better than WW recycling bins.The profit goes back to feeding the elders in the community.One con is that they are so popular that parking can be a problem.

One of the best thrift stores in the Santa Cruz area. A great place to find furniture and computer equipment. The staff here is amazingly friendly and very willing to help.

It's a popular used goods and recycling center benefiting the elderly. Lots of people, lots of stuff, very little parking, buildings stuffed to the gills with various goods. Pretty well organized but it's like a busy flea market almost every day.

Our day to day helping the public accepting donations can be overwhelming from the happiest, kindest, humble patient people on Earth to the rudest, disrespectful, distressed, low of the low that you can imagine do come along at our donation tent. I personally stayed as helpful and reasonable as I am and get through my day!

I don't live in Santa Cruz, but travel there several times a year. I always go to Grey Bears because they have a great selection and really good prices.

My gf and I started going to their food pantry during the pandemic. Every time, the people working there have something negative or disrespectful to say. My gf is standing there in scrubs at 8am friday to get our groceries before her shift at the animal hospital, and they act like they personally loaned us the money for these second hand groceries. Making us wait while they have a whole conversation, letting their friends cut us in line, ultimately just to call us lazy for coming to you for help.Not sure why you think handing out free food (which you didn't even make or buy) is as hard as working in an animal hospital like my partner does, but we don't need the attitude this early in the morning. We literally did nothing to you.

I bring computers and electronics to recycle here. The Computer Store also has great finds and prices on hard to find computer cables and connectors. However, i was surprised that the recycling center did not accept landline phones claiming that they can NOT handle hard plastics!!I would suspect a large size operation like Grey Bear should be able to offer alternatives than just simply turning the items away which consumers can simply route to a landfill!
