“I'm giving this place 5 stars because I love the concept and want to encourage this business and others like it to continue to grow and improve. However, both times I've been to this store the staff has been...less than friendly. Especially the second time I went.I had a small bag of donations (slider closures, thread, seed beads, jewelry wire, fabric tape) in fact I put them in the $10 bag I'd bought on my first visit. I found a staff member and tried to give them the donations, but they rather rudely told me donations were by appointment only and just turned away from me.I'm not saying they should have taken the donations if that's not their policy, but since a by-appointment-only donation system is not at all the norm for thrift shops in this area, or in general, I don't think a quick explanation of the donation system and how to schedule an appointment was too much to ask. Especially since you not only have to make appointments but they also have very specific rules about what can be donated, including the size of donation boxes and bags. I ended up taking the donations to the Fort Belvoir Thrift Shop which also has a cute crafts section, if anyone is interested.Please work on developing better customer service skills, and make it easier for folks to donate to this place. There are too many much more convenient options of places to donate to for y'all to have such a restrictive donation policy. We want to support this business. Please make it easier for people to donate to your shop. Best wishes!”
“My partner and I have been to a few different shelters to find our perfect cat fit, and AWLA is by far the best location. The staff is knowledgeable, the shelter is clean, and the animals are extremely well taken care of. We just adopted our cat Pluto from them and they have offered a lot of follow up support to make sure his transition to our home is smooth.
I recommend supporting this shelter, and getting adoption alerts to your email since their pets get adopted so quickly!”
“Volunteer Alexandria is the largest volunteer organization in Alexandria that I know about, and they have a wide range of opportunities/organizations in the area that you can support. Their web portal is easy to use to find opportunities and contact the volunteer managers to arrange service. The staff is friendly and helpful.”

“Founded and run by God-fearing, honest Muslims who have truly dedicated their lives to helping the most needy in practically every part of the globe. The one charity I have had no hesitation donating to for the last decade. May Allah elevate, preserve and magnify their work and its impact, as well their reward.”
“During the worst of covid they provided food every other weekend almost. Now it's just once a month but each time we get chicken eggs bread fresh vegetables (this time it was a huge bag of onions and 10 lb of carrots) along with rice, beans, pancake mix, and canned food. And the army of volunteers are fantastic. I go to the Nova site and it's well run.”
“It's nice, but the indoor pickleball court lines look like an electronic circutboard and are impossible to follow. I just guess and hit the ball to where I think it's safe.”
“This American Legion saved Gadsby’s Tavern and also helped set up the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution in the burial ground of the Old Presbyterian Meeting House. It is very historic and an awesome place for veterans as well as their families to enjoy. I am proud to be a member and love promoting the American Legion as often as I can. Keep up the great work!”
“I'm a card carrying member of FOE #109, and my club can learn a lesson or two (2) from the #871. You guys showed us such friendship that we'll be back next time we're in DC. Thank you for opening your hearts to us.”
“I love this GW. It is truly one of the best in the area. It's always so clean and actually has a great selection of pre-loved items. Highly recommend stopping here if you're looking to find some affordable gems.”
“Usually decent prices and customer service. Lately, some of the employees and customers seem to just be hanging out instead of working or shopping. Prices have skyrocketed to capitalize on trendy thrifting…. I found a hat I liked that had to be marked wrong. Among 20 hats for $3.99, this one was marked $15. Asked for a price check bc mistakes happen. Waited 15 min for a manager that never showed up. Hopefully its just a low period and works itself out.”
“Small local non-profit shelter dedicated to helping felines of all sorts. It's understandable why some people may have negative experiences here but also important to understand the context. It's very important to note that cat welfare is not the same as it was 10 or 20 years ago. King Street cats advocates for a high quality of care, no kill, indoor only cats that can go to appropriate housing. Cat should not be outdoors unless fully supervised. There are implications to outdoor cats that have negative effects on people, wildlife, and the cats themselves. I would expect some of the prospective adopters with more legacy views on cat welfare to have had bad experiences here. The volunteers, mostly ladies, are very caring for the cats and have their interests in mind first. Being all volunteer, it can be overwhelming but they put a lot of dedication into it.”

“Nice. I was able to reconnect with my true self. Food, Clothing, Shelter & unconditional Love. I obtained Peace and Happiness, as well as other services there inorder for me to help myself whenever I was struggling with certain issues I had along the way.”
“I remember as a child how the Salvation Army helped veterans with job training and helped those with housing insecurities find shelter. As a social worker, I have had great experiences reaching out to the Salvation Army for assistance with my clients. The people that work and volunteer for this organization really care!”
