Care & Share - Gravette, Arkansas

Beta Mike

Care and share is what most organizations set out to do which is primarily a discounted clothing, household, and furniture “thrift” store with an aim at helping the community that it resides in. What it does better than any of the other good Samaritan inspired shops is that it keeps its prices to the level that hard-working folks can go and actually come away with more than they bargained for. It is a respite in a crazy world where prices keep rising with inflation and care and share still will sell you a absolutely Christine vintage corning ware dish for a dollar. And at the same time you a shirt, whether it’s namebrand or not… For just twobucks. It’s something to be expected. It’s something you can comfort in. The selections swing widly from “ this place is picked over!!“ To “Hells Bells! I found Julia Childs, the art of French cooking - first edition on the bookshelf over there!” You can expect to find a cheerful checkout staff who is rotated each week from the churches locally in Gravette… And don’t forget to look under the porch where many of the large big ticket items are there and quite a steal. If you need a couch for any reason, there’s always one there for five or $10 And your awesome retro grandma’s couch with the brocade flowers on it or a vinyl lounge chair that someone just needed to get rid of.

Care and share also is the local organization that hands out gas vouchers, meal, vouchers, and access food pantry for a lot of the local residents who are not as well as other shop there right next to them. That’s the thing I like about Karen share the most is the diversity of people shopping there range from those who absolutely really have no place else to go, and those who travel up to 50 miles just to get there each day , if you think I’m making this up, be there on a Tuesday morning when they open after their weekend at 9 AM. WOW!!!

Great prices and selection. They do not offer shopping carts so as a mother with an autistic child, it made the trip very stressful and exhausting. Keep that in mind if you have little ones or differently able kids. I will be back alone as it’s not a very family friendly environment. They are also cash only and I didn’t realize that until I got to the register with a pile of stuff and a very over stimulated toddler. Other than that, Definitely a better place to donate used goods than Goodwill as well as they are reasonably priced and so more likely to get into the hands of people who actually need it!

I have been to care and share and Bo and Willie have been outright rude to me and my family. I have asked them prices on stuff. They tell me it wasnt for sale. Then I find out that they sold to someone else. I think that is totally wrong. They have a worker down there named Sherry. Who works very hard for the store and Bo and Willie are constantly yelling at her and just plain rude to her ( sherry ). Plus she is volunteering her time and doesn't even get paid. To be honest I don't think I will be back there because of how rude some of the employees are to there customers.

I am very disappointed in care and share because I have been going there for years and every since they got bo and his son working there , they have been very rude and disrespectful to me and other customers that shop there. they have a sign on there back door they said we don't sell anything until 9 am but yet I have seen them sell to people they want to before 9am. that is not very personal business. I have other friends and people standing in line waiting for them to open and listen to people talk about how rude they are and they have seen them after hour's down at care and share letting people have thing's that was on the box truck. I think they need to get rid of them and get some one else that's going to bed honest and friendly to the customers.

Great place and my only complaint would be not being able to use a debit/credit card! Cash only!

Sheri Downs

Most of the people are very friendly and helpful. The prices are the best around for used items. Great way to help people and environment!

They have good things at really good prices but please check the receipt and please check what should be your total. They like to over change for things putting as an excuse they don't have a register as they count themselves. My mom was charged 80 dollars when her total was 35... When she got the things out of the bag and demanded they counted again they got mad at her giving her looks,,, well they did count it and oh surprise it was 35 dollars... But instead of apologizing they told her,,, " well yes but you should donate that money here instead of asking for it back" this is the 2nd time this happens to her and once to me. Please check twice that what they are charging you is the correct amount.
