The Capital Area food bank offers an invaluable service to the area providing food for families in need. With the tough economics times the country finds itself in, it was encouraging to be part of good works. It also brought an awareness of the circumstances that people end up in a blink of an eye. It is great to know that their are everyday angels out their making a difference.....

The volunteers are very dedicated and helpful in accepting the donations and distributing them to those in need here in the community.

They have cleaned holding areas and help keep the overall appearance on a much improved level. The recycling is handled separately, and the staff is on sight when ever a special need arises. They are working with us for a Bulk removal plan that a unit owner can pay a fee and make direct arrangements to have "bulk items" taken away. Supporting this company through contracting the service has been a vast improvement from other experiences. Thank You!

Contacting them is a waste of time. They don't respond and don't care. Looks like the trash will remain outside until next pick up day which is Monday. I am not a strong young woman . I hurt my back. I am not going to carry this heavy trash back in my house and then carry it back out side on Monday. Trash Away doesn't finish their work. TRASH STILL HERE aka Trash Away.

This is a place where we can worship God, connect with a strong community, and learn and grow in our faith together.

We've now welcomed two children into this church family and are involved in children's ministry and small groups.

Springfield, VA - If you talk to anyone around here who's into native plants, they will immediately…read moremention this place. There are online native plant emporiums and one can surely find a few natives at the standard plant nurseries, however this place has the widest selection. And they only have native plants for sale. Upon entering you might not think you are in the right place. Most immediately you see soccer fields and public garden plots. Keep on going. You are about to discover one of the DMV's best kept secrets. There's a small tent where the sales are made and staff are available to direct you. You can borrow a wheelbarrow if you're buying a lot. The plants are arranged by letter and number labeled signs. There's a catalogue of sorts on their web page which will show you which row the plant you need is located in. The web page also has current prices. Right now quart pots are $8 each and gallon pots are $20 each for non members. One thing I will say is that it helps to research what the plant will look like when it's mature before purchasing. Most of the plants are quite small to start with but because they are native plants they do take off over time.

They charged me gallon plant prices for plants that had almost no root ball, I'm talking maybe 1"…read moreof root ball. One of them died in spite of regular watering and prompt planting in the recommended area. They may be of service to the community but still beware what you're paying for.
