Nice, relaxing, organized store compared to some of the other chaotic stores nearby. I found the perfect item that I really needed: a big, transparent blender bottle to mix formula for the foster kittens I raise for the San Diego Humane Society.

Visiting Ventura to see longtime friends and what could be a more perfect day than thrifting. This store was our first choice due to Great selection, cleanliness and the abundant courtesy and friendliness of clerk Jackie. She made me laugh, her humor was infectious and next time I'm back in the area I will be back at SPARC for more goodies and a dose of Jackie's irrepressible humor. Thank you Jackie!

This is a fantastic shop to visit. The store attendees are friendly, the items for sale are fairly priced, my patronage supports a great cause and there's always new stuff to find. Love it!

Stylish thrift store. A bit small. But some clothes are stylish and made of good fabric. I got a silk blouse from it which I really like.

My favorite thrift store in an area of many thrift stores. Supports a no-kill animal shelter, offers adoptions on weekends. High turnover of goods, since it is so busy; well organized and clean. Good quality, prices can reflect that, but they often have 1/2 off sales and specials. I go there often and my dogs love the place, with water bowls, a small park next door, and dog treats at the counter.

Horrible I found a sign that was worth 120 on eBay the lady at the front wanted to charge me 300 and I said no way and she laughed at me than walked away.She was on the phone all the time talking to her friends and was trying to rip off an old man buying a vintage camera 📷 saying online is worth 80 so the best she could do is 130$Totally rip off!!! Do not Come here

Leo collected my furniture donation today. I am blown away by his beautiful, positive personality, his belief and obvious pride in SPARC and his unbelievable strength to manage the heavy furniture all by himself. Thank you, I feel honored to be part of SPARC's journey.

Nice little second hand shop. I stop by every so often to check for books to add to my library. I think my favorite part of the store is the fact that they don't greet you, or bother you in any way. All proceeds go to help animal shelters, too.

Very clean and good merchandise although limited. We are a very happy SPARC owner of Maximus ( adopted as Noah) a ferrel Shepard Akita mix that has transformed our life and his in a positive way. Support this store if you are inclined to help challenged animals build their confidence and put their footprint of love on our community.
