Every week we distribute items donated by the community to our programs around Northern Virginia. This volunteer picks up donations from Second Story for Teens in Crisis (2100 Gallows Rd) and take them to our Culmore Teen Center (6017 Argyle Drive in Falls Church). Pick up days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 10am and 2pm. A valid drivers license and a vehicle, preferably an SUV or van and multiple trips are required. A day’s pickup/delivery may require multiple trips, particularly during holiday season. Location: Culmore (near Bailey’s Crossroads), Fairfax County.
