All the proceeds from The Twig Thrift Shop benefit Inova Alexandria Hospital. The shop is staffed by volunteers and sells men and women's clothing, as well as housewares. Women can find blouses for $5 at the store, along with suit jackets, winter coats and casual skirts. The men's selection includes shirts and slacks. Accessories such as purses and scarves are also available. Most of the clothing in the store is priced under $15, which makes shopping at The Twig an inexpensive way to benefit a good cause.
Goodwill Industries is a retail and donation center for used goods such as clothing, furniture, appliances and more. Donations are asked to be in fair-to-good condition. Shoppers can browse during store hours, bring in donations, or request delivery of larger items. Goodwill is an international organization with many locations in the Northern Virginia and Maryland areas.
Christ House provides food, emergency-assistance shelter and support to men and women in need. Volunteers act as job mentors to help the homeless find employment. The organization also serves meals and manages a thrift shop.
