Zero!! Their “life coaches” are an unqualified disgrace! Amy Jo (aka - Scarecrow Jo) is anything but an example of Christ. She is abusive, cocky; displays clear evidence of a borderline personality disorder, psychological issues, and is highly uneducated. Her hypocrisy speaks volumes and she should be mandated to treatment. This place needs to be investigated.

This place is in no way a non profit. These stores are run just like any other retail thrift stores like goodwill, salvation army and others. Used goods at retail and above prices. And I have no problem with that, I do have a problem with them hiding behind the non-profit label and not paying their fare share of taxes.
When your checking out your purchases they ask to round up your change for the ministry. For one thing I hate being asked for donations from any retail sores. And that purchase you just made was a donation to the ministry. How greedy can you be.
Where does all them round up go.?
Don't let them fool you they do very little for inmates. They offer a small brown lunch bag to inmates as a care package when they are released from jail and that's only if you request it in advance. Containing stamped envelopes, toothpaste, bar soap, its very little to help a guy who was just released from prison. They also have a construction company and warehouses, that employs mostly ex prisoners. They are only using these inmates for profit and pay them very low wages. The others that work their are church members.. the offenders in their after care program do have a number of sex offenders. And I don't care that they claim that they only admit a certain level of sex offenders. They can't be cured and there crimes progress.

This place is a for profit business. They are working the system for maximum profit.
Don't shop here

This is a joke they claim to be non profit ask your self this where are all the forks and spoons? They probably have them in the back where they have someone sitting there sorting through to find any that are sterling silver and then they never reach the showroom floor for sale they get cashed out somewhere else where does that money go there is no way this is a nonprofit organization it’s 100% profit when something is given and they mark up the price to retail or above retail. Today I found a bike at the Lebanon store a donated bike non the less priced at $900.00 that’s right $900.00 can anyone tell me how that’s not making a profit ? They sell that for $900.00 that will pay the months salary for most likely three of their employees. Here I stand homeless jobless and saved up a little money to widen my job search area and find $900.00 on a used donated Bike. They claim they are here to help people I think not I think they’re here to help fill their pockets prices are out of hand by far the most expensive between Goodwill and Salvation Army they claim to be good Christian people well if that’s what it is to be a Christian person to extort the community to fill their pockets with their greed stricken money they can have their Christianity

Great Christian organization. They have a real prison ministry that supports so many people. The work the Jubilee Ministry does for the Lebanon and Manheim community is so important. They always need volunteers to help with the ministry. Check out the website at www.jub.org or you can contact the Volunteer Coordinator at 717-274-7528 x 237 or email at johnb@jub.org for more information.
