They do other kinds of social services in the office through the main glass doors. To make donations, drive around to the unloading area at the back right and ask for help (knock on the metal door). Here's their description: "serves TP/SS families in need with food, clothing and house ware assistance, as well as various workforce skill trainings. ACSGW will gladly take donations of clothing, shoes, accessories, linens, small appliances, kitchen/household items, toys, home décor, books, flat screens, and laptops (less than 5 years old). No furniture, child car seats, strollers, printers, and nonworking items. If a donation receipt is required drop off must be M-Th 9-4 at 501 Sligo Ave. Clothing and small items can be placed in the blue collection box at 501 Sligo Ave or behind Sligo Adventist Church on Greenwood."

The store is very well organized and clean in comparison to a lot of thrift shops.

I came here to volunteer during the third shift with fellow BU alum last night. It was a great…read moreexperience, and even though less than half the group who signed up showed up, we were able to finish our task 45 minutes ahead of schedule. This is a state of the art food bank, and David really knows his way around and talks fast. When I first arrived, everyone was super friendly. They acknowledged me and offered me water and coffee even though I was here to volunteer. David talked with me for a few minutes before the group arrived. It was nice that he was so engaged with the volunteers and kept encouraging us to bring people who needed volunteer hours to volunteer their time here. As for the volunteer work we did. We sorted out snacks and candys. Snacks were packed in brown boxes, taped up, and labeled "Snacks." On the other hand, candy was packaged in Chiquita banana boxes. The banana boxes were larger than the brown boxes and because the components were smaller, it took more effort to fill up. We also received a quick tour of the facility and learned that items are purchased at $0.19/lb. The Capital Area Foodbank also accepts non food donations. I saw a box labeled "Xmas" as well as bikes in the storage area. There are loading docks for tractor trailers to come and drop off donations. From the size of the facility, it looks like there are great donations but more would always be appreciated. I would highly recommend people volunteering here, either individually or in groups.

There was a line of people in pick up trucks pulling up to get their cars weighed for the metal they had. Pretty cool to see. The staff were super nice. They had soda and popcorn inside too.

I had been to two of their prior sales. One of them was a massive mansion in Chevy Chase and the other a victorian house in Bethesda. At the Chevy chase sale I must have spent a little over $500+ on various luxury furniture items which would have cost a fortune in the high end stores and also purchased a couple of small items like books and stuff. The guy running the sale I forgot his name but he gave me a awesome deal on the stuff. Also even help me load the small stuff in my car. Had to call a buddy with a pickup truck to haul the furniture items. At the Bethesda I purchased a diamond ring for a girl I was planning on marrying which didn't work out. I didn't want to continue the relationship. So I took it to a jewelry store to get it cleaned and polished and they said I got a good deal on it so I'm still happy. I can always get it resized for the next fiancé. Lol. The Bowie sale I just purchased a few silver coins. I would advise everyone come early to these guys sales. The Chevy Chase sale had a massive line of people waiting but they were letting like 30 people in at a time. They tend to get the big houses and mansions with the rare and awesome stuff so I definitely recommend checking out their sales. Only downfalls is parking can be a little tricky due to the massive crowds of their sales. But with any estate sale I always go early. Also some of the other customers get a little crazy at the sales because of the rare stuff people find. Overall A+++++
