I'm in the midst of a major purge. As a part of the purge, I had bags of documents that needed…read moreshredding. I have 2 good shredders. But the amount of time it would require was overwhelming, Eggleston Shredding & Document Center came to the rescue. The timing has to be quick. Drop Off service is only available from 9 - 2 M-F. My visiting son had to work from home on Friday. He would be leaving on Sunday. So I worked till midnight going through the bags to separate the trash from the shredding items so he could get them in the vehicle ready to leave early the next morning. The Shredding & Documents Center is located on N Military Highway. The building doesn't face Military Highway but it's a very visible presence. There is a large drive through at the front of the building with numerous trash cans, similar to our city recycling bins, sitting out front. Walk into a very large lobby with a cashier style glass covered area with a friendly employee behind. She instructed us to take a bin, empty our bags and containers into it, then bring the container inside to pay. If I had known the size of the bin I could have saved the time in separating junk mail. The bin could handle a huge amount of documents. The cost, $45 per bin, was unbelievable. What a tremendous amount of time was saved for such a small cost. The employee explained that the bin would be taken immediately back & dumped into the shredder. A human hand would never touch my documents. Even better, they recycle the shredded paper. She provided me with a Certificate of Destruction & a receipt. We were then on our way. Eggleston is so much more than a source for shredding. They employ individuals with disabilities & provide them the chance to learn skills & gain confidence in their abilities and independence. Improving their quality of life through multiple programs is to be applauded. Among the services they provide to 1,500 individuals at 22 locations are rehabilitation services such as Day Support, Residential Support, Brain Injury Services, Veterans Programs & Community Employment. Business Services include Document Shredding & conversion of paper to digital. They do Commercial Landscaping, prepare donated vehicles for auction, and a number of additional services. A retail Garden Center & Farmers Market is also operated. Their work with the federal government includes commercial laundry, food service, mail room & custodial. What a wonderful mission this non profit begun in 1955 has for the people who need help in becoming employable. Eggleston was a great source for bulk shredding for me. But even better, the shredding of my documents provided learning skills to those who need it the most.

Eggleston is a great place to work. They do a great help allowing people who have a disability…read morehave a job. No matter what type of disability. It's great that Eggleston will work with that employee, with their needs. Considering their transportation, or other needs that employee needs. And a good place to learn something new that a person didn't know, because of all the jobs Eggleston has in different cities. The Laundry is great doing so many bases around our area, helping them out that way.

I've used this staffing company a couple of times. They placed me into a temp job, that became a…read morepermanent position. Before I got this job, they sent me on a couple of interviews, but I didn't get the position. I ended up finding a job on my own, but after 4 months, I found the drive back and forward from Virginia Beach to Hampton too much. I called Image Services and explained my dilemma. By the following week, they had sent me on an interview. I got the job and was able to give the current job my two week notice! I learned a long time ago...if you're interested in working with a staffing company, you get to know the people working there and keep in touch! While their job is to place you, they get A LOT of people coming in looking for employment. You want to be memorable if you want them to place you (it's about selling yourself). That advice hasn't failed me yet and it holds true even for Image Services. While the size of the company worried me (it's small compared to one or two staffing companies I've worked with before in the DMV area), they helped me find a great job with an awesome company.

At Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, there are several locations where you can volunteer. Just knowing that these families are being helped is a reward with in itself, and I appreciate organizations like this one. I'm going to make a commitment to volunteer more often like I used to in the past. It's been about a few days of volunteering, and I personally love the Young Terrace location. There's enough space to move around, and the guests (community) are grateful and very respectful. I've assisted with stocking and food distribution, but would love to see what's behind the scenes. Overall, if you want to give back to the community and feel amazing, check out a few locations, one may be real close to you. Sidenote: For those picking up food, there is a limit for each food category (canned goods, chicken, eggs, etc). You can have a bag full of produce. Quality is in good condition and some almost going bad, but you choose at your own discretion.

Walter is so helpful w/ the signup process and Bobby in the warehouse is amazing. Since the pandemic, my co-workers didn't get to go this year. However, I got a group from my daughter's school to volunteer. Once again, everything from beginning to end was organized and social distancing protocols were in place. Highly recommend volunteering at the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. It's fun, safe, and helps those less fortunate. Win win!

I can not say enough about Michelle at Priority Staffing. She listened to everything that I was looking for & matched me with the perfect employer. Fast forward to February 2018, & I was offered a permanent position with this employer. Priority Staffing is a great way to find employers that you would probably never cross paths with otherwise. Michelle is very knowledgable & I would recommend anyone that is looking for a job/career to contact her. She is amazing!! : D

Michelle has been very helpful in contacting me with emails when positions aligned with my skill set, I still think I'm underpaid at every corner, but it's a good experience for me to start getting some private sector references as I transition out of the military. The private sector has it's issues, but I sure like the flexibility to say no or just to look for another job. It took a minute to get placed, but that was my own doing as I was being very picky.
