Today was the first time we visited this store. We got there 15 minutes before closing, so we only had a few minutes to look around. As soon as we walked through the door David greeted us with a warm welcome and a big smile. Right away I saw what we were looking for, an old school record player with radio 📻 and CD 💿 player for only $30 practically brand new. We were so happy for this deal because the same player, youll find on Amazon for $132 the cheapest. When we got home and turn it on we noticed the speakers on it is really powerful. So just shopping for less than 15 minutes I would say it was very successful.

Wilton Mannors or just while in town find some treasures and goodies and support your fellow neighboors! Great place to meet some locals and future friends. I got 6 fun shirts for $10.75.

After new management this year, the thrift store is very well organized and looks like a showroom of used furniture. The other areas are also well organize and clean with tons of used items. I shop there regularly and usually get there early, especially on days they have sales. Overall, I would highly recommend anyone to check out all the great finds at Poverello Thrift Store.

Great place to shop for awesome furniture at low prices, while Helping The needy and the sick. I got a beautiful black leather couch for $80 and a matching zebra printIs ottoman with tassels for only 60. That was recently and in the past I got a piano ! Wonfindswonderful things

Waited an hour for my foodCars arrived after me served and goneThey gave my food to another car witch was long goneThey seemed like I was a trouble maker just asking when should I receive my foodNot a so sorry from Poverllo making the mistakeFinally the cart arrived and had to deal with the attitude of the volunteer saying to me you don’t understand were understaffed here at this pointI returned to him and applied that I used to work in the food pantry, yes things can go wrong but a were sorry goes along wayGot home had to though out half of the quote in quote fresh vegetables due to them being unusable Quality Control anyone!This is my 3rd time in 2 years using Poverllo because of my work has let me go for a monthI appreciate the help due to my situationBut when picking up food becomes more of a complete hassle then just going to the market and putting it on a credit cardI’ll pick the latterDavid k

This is one of my favorite thrift store locations in South Florida. You can find some great items here. Its a wonderful local treasure. The staff are great and always friendly. The prices are usually reasonable and the money goes to a great cause! Give this place a shot and then head over to the Goodwill and Out of the closet down the street from here.

Why are the employees so rude and mean at this place. They act like they are always mad at something and it is directed at the customers

Great prices, huge variety of items

Dropped off some clothes on several occasions, 3 employees outside, a thank you from staff would be nice atleast once.

Ever since the managment changed this place has doubled its prices, halved its quality and quartered its customer service.Theyre still requiring masks for vaccinated adults and theyre quite nasty about it.A food bank turning away donations over politics. Guess Ill donate elsewhere.

The best thrift shop and food basket around!!!

This is such a fabulous place to shop if you are looking for furniture and clothes in a second hand store. I just bought a great all leather sectional in a get price and they also delivered it for a minimal fee. I want to thank you all for the help you have given to me today. If you re looking for a great prices and people who are more than happy to help you this is the place to go. Ask for Roman he is marvelous!!!This is my new go to place just for the fun of thrifting.

Sorry to say this but it’s poor customer service and ppl who work there don’t do their job right and on time ( when they do a mistake they think that they doing u a favor and try to blame you. Specially this lady that I just spoke and says is the manager of the food pantry. Shanel or something like that) irritating when u follow their procedures but when they messed up they don’t care. Real bad !

Great thrift store, supports a great food bank. Its one of those places where you cant simply pick up the thing you went in for; youll always find something else you cant leave on the shelf. The folks who work there are very helpful, and the prices arent boutique thrift store. Love it!!!

I went to the thrift store they have on a Thursday with a friend. It was my first time at this location. Its a wonderful place to go if you like bargains. I picked up 2 pieces of Swiss Gear luggage which was in mint condition for about $22 for both. Checking online brand new would have visited over $200. Place seems to always be busy and the staff have a great time and real friendly with customers. Because my friend was over 55, Thursdays seniors get an extra 33% off. My $100 cart of goodies set me back only $70. Instead of throwing your old clothes and household items away. Donate them here. Its for a good cause.

Always a great place.

Poverello is many things to many people, but today Ill focus on the thrift shop. A good size store with a wonderful selection of clothes, furniture & housewares. Friendly helpful staff that are happy to help. If I come here for one thing, I usually leave with some treasure that I cant live without. The manager is great. He helped me arrange a delivery as well as a pick up of donated items. The truck was on time each time and the driver & helper were also very professional and efficient.The best thing is that the store helps fund the good works of the food bank as well as all the other wonderful services they provide to the community.

Always is a great experience visit that thrift store. Congratulations for your service.

Great cause and a great place to buy things. I only gave 3 stars, because we donated things and I asked when I was there if they take beds and used mattresses. They said yes and when we moved, I had them pickup a lot items. The driver didnt wanted to pickup the bed and the mattress. So if one side says yes and the other no its really uncomfortable for the donor.

One of the best and certainly most reasonable priced to move thrift shops in ft. lauderdale. You have to check in frequently but if you get there when there is a delivery you can walk away with some really quality things. They also have the most affordable book section that is kept organized by genre, etc. Great charity and the first place I felt like I could get a consistent deal every time I visited.

An old fashioned thrift store. Mens and womens clothing, furniture, books, kitchenware, knick-knacks, art and jewelry all in one place. Some aisles are difficult to navigate. Dust gently coats some items. Things are sorted but still have to be willing to dive into boxes .

What a discriminating place! Even amongst other LGBT people, Ive never been so horrified by the most insensitive whole lot of people who have the need to feel so entitled about having dismissed others because of a specific reason. Heartless and most certainly disheartened people, actually, makes one think that anyone there besides the customers might be offended by what the actual place should have been rendering: to help others in need, if any there may be. Not the case here. I was rejected immediately and because of it, I have to say that even a Goodwill has and will continue to be a much better well-respected establishment for any thrift needs.

This is a great little thrift store, I didnt have nearly enough time to go through a fraction of the well-kept high-end Goods that the friendly staff had on hand. There wasnt once where someone wasnt trying to make sure that I had anything I needed, all the way down to a free Apple pie on the way out the door, the clothing I purchased was new, and at 15% of the original price. The isles were clean, there was minimal clutter, and overall, it wad a good experience that I for one intend to repeat.

One of the best resources for people living with HIV. There is a food pantry in the rear giving people essentials once a month and it is supported partly by the thrift store in the front (with some excellent employees and great finds) and a few local businesses, Publix seemed very evident as a big donor. What a fabulous non-profit!!

For a thrift store that gets donated stuff for free to resell and prices things like it’s brand new and as full as their store is with things that actually should be thrown away. Appliances that are used with no warranty TVs used no warranty missing remotes priced over $200 for TV ridiculous. Look at what you can buy brand new TVs for now days with a warranty and a remote just over $200. Appliances I’m sorry but you got it for free and you want to charge over $1000 ridiculous. Furniture brand new is way overpriced for the quality of furniture nothing is handmade anymore. When I go into a thrift store and I see a couch priced for $1500 and I just shake my head and laugh no wonder this place is so full of garbage. Picture frames 50% off really you price them at $200 some pictures over $1000 you got it for free your place is so crammed packed with trash it’s ridiculous. Small kitchen table with two chairs for $200 what a joke price the stuff to move bring product and move product out you’re not a brand new retail store you’re a thrift shop that got donations for free. When you ask a manager for assistance and he yells at you and tells you that what you’re asking about Is not there rather than coming in looking lose your customers. The Wilton Manors location is a joke that Police really should go out of business. There other location however the moment you walked through the door they’re telling you about the deals tell you if you see anything that is overpriced let them know and they’ll work with you to move the product store is actually clean and organized the Wilton Manors location things my grandmother had is not there rather than coming and looking lose your customers. The Wilton Manors location is a joke that Police really should go out of business. There other location however the moment you walked through the door they’re telling you about the deals tell you if you see anything that is overpriced let them know and they’ll work with you to move the product store is actually clean and organized the Wilton Manors location things my grandmother had and nobody wants and they’re trying to sell for ridiculous pricing if you have furniture that’s got damage dirty stained what the heck are you selling it for over $200 for and who in their right mind sells used mattresses that is disgusting. The place stinks and is full of overpriced garbage. For you to have the star rating that you have obviously is employees or management giving them that rating they definitely do not have that high of a star rating avoid this place they need to drop their pricing and the only time they have a deal is when they mark all their clothes to a dollar no matter what furniture definitely not a good deal and if you’re looking for things your grandmother should’ve thrown away years ago that’s the place y’all go and find it but you Will pay a lot for it.Seriously folks pay attention thrift stores should not be trying to make that much money on donated materials especially when they’re that cram packed full of garbage yeah furniture is been sitting there for more than a month something is wrong this place has had the same furniture in it for over a year rearrange your store put taller shelves in but you still have the same garbage. Used elderly toilets nasty 🤢 you could put that stuff out at the curb and nobody would even take it for free why is this place trying to charge money for things that they should be selling to move product and keep their store organized and clean put some air fresheners in and price things to move I don’t give it much longer and I’m sure they will have to go out of business or relocate. Especially with the new development from the pride Center going in next-door they won’t be there much longer.

Wonderful service and great selection of quality used furniture. Affordable delivery as well. Check online for sales (they can be up to 50% storewide)!

They were more than willing to help us unload all items donated and they were very grateful and appreciative of what they received everyone there is extremely kind helpful and caring thank you for the great service guys keep it up

Great experience for who wants to donate. They always take your product graciously and quickly. They store is always very organized and clean, which makes it easier for one to part with your belongings knowing that they will be respected. Staff is always very nice, helpful and efficient.

Been going to Poverello for 10 years, things are changing for the best, prices are more reasonable now, thanks to all the volunteers and employees FIVE STARSSS

A Great place who helps a worthy cause as well. Some really nice and funny staff who will do their best to help.

Love this place, but website says 10-7 on sunday. We drove from Boca and looks like the hours are wrong. 12-5 on Sunday, suggest you change it because I wasted a hours driving .

Lots and lots of stuff. Probably too much stuff and some of it is hard to get too which is unfortunate because its a new building and it should be easier to shop at. Regardless you can still find some good stuff if you want to dig around.

Great thrift store, constantly changing stock makes every visit interesting, large selection of high quality furniture, clothing, art and household goods, all profit supports the food bank so your supporting a good cause too!

Friendly people. Great clothes selection. Fantastic prices

Ive had the pleasure of shopping with this organization for years. Love them. I always find bargains.

The Poverello center is actually several related entities. The Poverello Health center and Food Bank which serve the LGBT community on several fronts and The Poverello thrift store which helps fund the other two.The thrift store itself is a large warehouse type space that is packed to the ceiling with all sorts of clothing, appliances, furniture and other items. Several years ago, Poverello was based on Wilton Drive and it organized in much the same way. Sadly nothing has changed on that front. Everything is piled up, and covered in a fine layer of dust (or so it seems). Unlike most thrift stores Poverello seems to lean to the pricier side, and some of their pricing seems questionable at best. Look out for 50% sales which pop up on a regular basis.

Fabulous thrift shop; high end small end kitchen appliances and clothing. Like any thrift shop, hit it frequently. Customers and staff are always friendly.

Everything you didnt know you needed but must have ... lots of great items .. this place has good stuff

My service at the center was very good all the food I received was fresh and eattable I recommend this center to anyone that quality and in the need of this center

The thrift store staff are fantastic. The store management, the sales staff, delivery drivers... Friendly, caring and kind.

Nice little thrift store. They deliver, which is nice. Lots of furniture, lots of books. Very reasonable prices.

Love The Poverello Center...fun place to look with some real bargains, all benefiting a worthy cause!

Cool place, big location with a variety of stuff. Friendly staff. 4 stars instead of 5 cause I think a lot of their stuff is priced a little high for a thrift shop.

This place and a few of the people who work there save my wife and my life we are living in our own place now gainfully employed and happy and I do not think things wouls have gone this well without their support and kindness!

Freindly place to buy first and second hand items and helping a good cause

Great bargains on things you wouldnt believe! Very friendly staff and the Food Bank feeds over 3000 families and individuals. This is deemed a Safe Place.

Its a great thrift store very clean and incredible variety of pretty much everything!! and the customer service is awesome :D super nice people and for a good cause.

This is a fantastic place to find a hidden treasure. What someones idea of trash is another persons idea of a treasure. I never leave empty handed.

Very helpful all around people are very nice you cant get any better service

As always always awesome very friendly people everyones nice and very generous and very kind and five stars always, I cant say everything for the all the people that go to Portobello to get stuff and shop that is a whole nother story

Absolutely best source for lightly used items at a great price! From electronics to clothing shoes and furbiture, kitchen utensils and sporting goods. Before you buy think. If your not a must be new type of person then its your spot. Plus all tje proceeds go to charity.

Really pleasant shopping experience. Friendly staff and volunteers, fair prices, lots and lots of merchandise.

This store sells on ETSY! Do not order from them! Poverello accepted my $304.00 payment on dishes, and after having my payment for 6 days, they CANCELLED my order without any notification or explanation! 48 hours later and they have yet to issue me a refund through PayPal. I would be very cautious about ordering from this company. I am very upset with their lack of professionalism and forthrightness!

They do a lot for the community. Great place to shop. Lots of items and they r opening a second location.

Incredible place to find pretty much anything. The staff could not be friendlier or more helpful.

It takes time to look through eveything, but I love giving to a good cause. Wish I could buy more!

A lot of things and for a good cause. Great to be able to help the community!

Nasty and disrespectful customer service. We arrived 15 minutes before closing time and the front door greeter raised his voice to a point of screaming said, We are closing in 15 minutes so hurry up!! Then after glancing inside, half of it the store was off so even if I want to browse I was unable to. When they saw us leaving he screamed again, dont leave so can shop here!! I decided to take my hard earned money somewhere else. Remember customer service is the foundation of any business. I will never go back to this place. This is a disgusting way to greet the people who keeps your business at float. I would have rated this place a negative 5 star so my one star is a generous rating.

I always have pleasant experience every time I go there.

Too many changes literally every time you go there. Ive been going there for 8 years and they tell you at the last moment by the way it is the last time youre going to get any assistance. Like really get your s*** together and let people know in advance!

Very nice and organize store. The staff was very helpful. Great customer service.

Great community partner, food bank and thrift store is a treat to go and shop, great organization for all those living with HIV

Nice little thrift store. Great holiday sales!

Wonderful thrift store worthy of your donations and fun shopping - all to support a great cause

Great place they do wonderful things for people

The proper concept of supporting others

Best in town! Bargains and collectibles! GREAT furniture

Friendly and appreciative workers. A wonderful service to the community.

A great Thrift Store that supports the Food Bank.

But stuff there for the past 13 years.... tons of good stuff.

Great atmosphere, great mission, great purpose. Loved the opportunity to help the cause

Great place to shop if you cant find it here then you dont need it

Some decent items can be found there. Its all for a good cause.

If you love the smell of dirty shoes, yellowed armpit stained shirts and hodgepodge junk you have found a gold mine. This thrift shop is total 1980s. The food bank in the rear has changed its purpose and now serves illegal Hatians instead of local needed Wilton Manors guys. The staff take fancy Ocean Going Cruises post these Champa trips on Facebook then returned sun bronsed while Turing backs on needed of the city.

Good people, always good stuff with sensible prices for re-items

My partner and I went looking for a headboard for the bed in our spare room for our winter get a way condo in Ft. Lauderdale and decided to see what treasure we could find at Poverello. This is a thrift store and one must not expect a Macys like experience - but that said the stores volunteer staff are always friendly and willing to help out. We arrived at 9:45am a few minutes before opening on a Thursday and already there were a dozen or more people waiting for the doors to open. We looked around and found the perfect headboard - it took some hunting mind you but it was worth it. We also found a few other items that were gently used that we needed - again you have to be of the mindset that you dont mind rummaging through bins or over stuffed shelves to find the thing you are looking for. You name it they most likely have it; from electronics to jewellery to kitchen and tools to collectibles and seasonal items and many many racks of clothing. There is always a great find if you dont mind looking. The headboard we found needed a bit of TLC to make it just right so the volunteer spoke to the supervisor and got the price marked down to $60, which was nice. We picked up about $20 of other items and headed to the cash. The friendly volunteer rang in the items and says that will be $53.60 please.. we paid quickly out the door and felt like the IKEA commercial, saying to ourselves; Start the car! Start the car! because the bill was way lower than expected - after all we had $80 worth of stuff. As we were putting the headboard into the car I looked up and noticed the sign on the front door - Seniors Day Thursday 33% off all purchases! Both a sigh of relief and shock came over me almost at the same time... phew that is why the total was less than expected - BUT HEY Im not a senior - Im only 47... next stop CVS for some Just for Men hair color - they grey has got to go. So note Thursdays are seniors days and a perfect day to go even if you are not quite a senior yet!!

Great buys if your there at the right time.

Hit and miss thrift store. You used to be able to find great items at a bargain here...Over-savy back room workers are pricing things very high...

Was there at Poverello Food Bank was kinda full, but the staff do there best to get you in, and out

The One and Original Community helping Community Thrift Stores. A Must Visit and Mingle while in the Village. Favorite spot to visit amongst the locals.

The Poverello Center is a true example of helping those that need. Everytime I visit the location, the staff is very courteous, and willing to help. The Manager, Mario, keeps the place running very smooth.Im proud to support poverello, specially knowing that most of their earnings Really gets used for a great cause.!

Nice place to shop for used stuff. The price of things are going up.

Went to the food bank. The process has changed for the better. Not kaotic like it used to be. No babymommas.

Always a joyful shopping experience. Even when just looking and talking with the friendly employees.

Nice open shopping areas, decent selection, good prices

This place is a lifesaver... We are so grateful.

AWESOME STAFF! Especially employee Frank Young III. This guy is the TRUTH!

Help for the aids and hiv people, best deals on thrift store merchandise

Great thrift store and living well center

It was my birthday and we had dinner with friends. Great food and excellent service!

Way too expensive to be a charity thrift store.Sometimes I just wonder if the do their search or they just fill their pockets up.

DISAPPOINTING!!!! i went there..told them i was POZ.. Offer to show my results... and they denied me food because I wasnt on welfare.ummm WOW..so is this place collecting goverment money for sick people only to deny people freely donated food!!!!! If so I find it totally repugnant!!! regardless FT LAUDERDALE is one of those VERY RARE places that does not provide free food to those people WHO R HUNGRY!! regardless of their age or status..saddd for such an affluent area

Junk galore. I swear you can find nothing pretty or valuable here.

Today I was there to buy some stuff that I needed for my home and business, I spent around $150, always trying to help this center, I went to check out and I realized that I didnt have all the cash to pay the total, I asked the cashier if I can pay $ 80 in cash and the rest with my debit card, and then the cashier told me to pay the total, because I will need the cash when I will be moved to Mexico, as a proud American Citizen, that was an offensive way to get bullied from a disrespectful man that gets a kick for being racist, because of my accent. This kind of people must be remove for Portobello staff, shame on you!

I can always find a great deal here.

Neighborly well intentioned volunteers and a lot of great stuff

A small thrift store done right in benefit of the needy.

Good stuff and good prices.

Love this store !!! Thurs.&50%is my favorite days

Good prices, nice people
