Visalia Emergency Aid Council Thrift Store

Fun place to go and look for cool unique stuff. I recommend coming here for deals and cool items.

Pretty clean and organized for a thrift store and pricing is good. I go in specifically for belts as I use them for projects. The belts are usually two dollars but the fellow at the cash register told me he gave them to me for a dollar! Love when the thrift shops are willing to negotiate prices!

This was one of the places where I've been wanting to come and honestly I was very disappointed. I didn't find anything exciting. A lot of very used items and a bit pricey for certain things. Some of the stuff was either stained or broken. Wouldn't come back but it's worth a shot to come and browse. Bring gloves since your hands can get a bit dirty.

I think the marketing and appearance of the store is fantastic. I'm not liking the higher prices, though. I bet the building rent went up.

This is a cool spot that I enjoy coming to. I used to live in Delano and would make a monthly drip up to Visalia to shop at the Sally's Army and then I'd walk down the street to VEACTS. The prices are fair and reasonable and there's something for everyone. I always go for the clothing (of course) and I've found several vintage and vintage inspired dresses and blouses for under $5 each. They also have a little boutique section that I like browsing, but even the prices in the boutique aren't too crazy.The employees are friendly and helpful; I've never had a bad experience here.

i don't like it how they turn off the lights 8 minutes before its closing time how rude! plus the clothes are expensive not coming here again.

I would like to thank the staff at V.E.A thrift store for going above and beyond to bless my granddaughter who has cerebral palsy and lacks adaptive equipment and toys . The staff at this store truly cares about people in our community. They have the best prices and the best customer service ever. I will not go to rescue treasure ever again , they will not let you slide for 25 cents, no comparison for a disabled baby knowing the manager has a disabled child, and plus there prices are ridiculous. Emergency Aid cares about people in our community and they have great prices.

I am so glad I stopped by this thrift store. I found really nice stuff. A hardwood bench, some vintage wall art and a lot more. The staff at the register are very nice. The prices were very reasonable compared to what I am used to here in Fresno.

They're friendly, they're local, and they have the best selection and the best prices of all the thrift stores in town.Today I had a bad experience with the customer service at Goodwill, so I came over to Visalia Emergency Aid Council Thrift Store and the interaction was the exact opposite. Even though the employee, who I think was the manager, told me they don't actually take desks, he explained it in a nice way and even agreed to take it to the dump along with their large truckload for a $5 donation that covers the dump fee for it. I donated $7 and went inside and spent $20 more on items. There was such a huge difference in interactions, and you can read my review of Goodwill in Visalia for the whole story. This employee or manager at Visalia Emergency Aid did something that may have gone against their everyday policy, but it was simple for him to do and he solved my problem. I think I've written less than five reviews in my life, but today I had to do it because I experienced one-star and five-star customer service within a span of forty five minutes.
