“Great gathering place for veterans, additive military and their families. Great events, dinners, weekend parties with bands and great food. A charitable organization, they go out of their way to help members and their families as well as all vets in need.”

“When my dad died, I was unable to join a grief support group because the timing was off. I found Haven of Northern VA and participated on one-on-one counseling and then joined a support group later. I got more out of the one-on-one counseling. It was tremendously helpful. I decided to become one of their volunteers (it's an all volunteer group except the Exec Dir) . I went through training Jan-March 2020, and just as I was ready to start, COVID hit. They are still offering counseling through Zoom and calls.”

“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!”

“This is my favorite Goodwill in the the area. I find that items are more affordably priced here compared to the the Goodwills in Falls Church and Arlington. There are only few items behind the counter so even brand name items are on the floor without any special pricing. I have found Yeezys, Vejas and other high quality shoes for less than $20. Books also have a standard price $0.99 for soft covers and $1.99 for hardcovers. Furniture here is also extremely affordable. I have seen a sectional prices at $30. Can't beat it! Unfortunately I often see resellers here who hoard items into carts and pick at bins before the are put out. The store should definitely regulate this”
