Loading of Trucks for furniture delivery

Volunteers
collect, warehouse, and deliver donated furniture, free of
charge, to needy families in the Annandale, Bailey Crossroads,
and Culmore areas. The furniture is stored in a building donated by Annandale United Methodist Church and in a storage area provided by Fairfax County. ACCA receives
and screens requests for furniture through a fax referral that involves Fairfax County human service
and specialized agencies, churches, and schools. ACCA churches and community volunteers take turns providing teams of volunteers to work at the warehouse located at 6935 Columbia Pike on Saturday mornings.
