“ACCA is an acronym for Annandale Christian Community for Action. ACCA is a church-supported voluntary organization providing rental assistance, day care, emergency food delivery, Meals on Wheels, basic furniture delivery, housing repair, transportation to medial appointments, family emergency financial assistance, student scholarships and other services to needy families in the area.They have a child development center and a food pantry on-site & all ACCA services, except the Child Development Center, are provided by volunteers at no cost to those who need them. They were founded over 50 years go by Fred & Emily Ruffing, a local family from Alexandria, VA, who were going through hardships themselves. They organized a meeting with representatives from eight local churches to set up a day care center to provide assistance to the working poor. They marshaled support from the county and from local donors & succeeded in meeting the needs! Annandale Christian Community for Action branched out into other activities, all under the banner of "doing what Jesus would do". The organization started with eight churches and currently has a membership of 26.I have been doing food delivery for them for years and I also bring clothing & household donations from my school & my home. The beautiful thing about donating is it is all put out on table for folks to simply take what they need - no cost! So it to literally goes directly to the community. They accept food donations, clothing, toys, household, school supplies, you name it, and you can also donate financially. To request assistance from ACCA, please contact the Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning office at 703-222-0880.I can't say enough good things about this community non-profit organization other than PLEASE SUPPORT!”

“Found some of the best items I have discovered at a thrift store here. I love that all the items are standard priced which is fair to the community and also people who thrift as a hobby. Overall the staff were great and it was easy to navigate the store. Definitely worth a visit!”
