I just adore the way that they provide education, health and healing, and purpose pathways, while continuing to also provide food and other essential resources. This location is not where you get food. The place to do that is at Wilde Lake Interfaith Center, Long Reach Village Center, and Oakland Mills Middle School at 10:30. There they are closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. See the website for details.

Maryland Food Bank thrives off of weekend volunteer hours for packers in their conveyor belt area to box canned goods and boxed foods as they'd otherwise have to bill these hours to payroll. I enjoyed myself and even got in a little cardio as the belt moved more and more foodstuffs through. I was in charge of canned veggies and boy were there lots of them. It was a good time and I can't wait to go back!

I have been using Green Drop for years to pick up donations with no problem until 2024, when they…read moretook my porch furniture that was not marked for donation. I usually identify all of my bags for donation by either writing Green Drop or G.D. On the bags and or boxes. I was able to reach out to the director to retrieve my porch furniture. I received the 2 chairs and the ottomans back, but I did not receive the table that was also taken. I spoke to a manager who promised to just purchase a new table for me. I sent several pictures with prices from Amazon and I never received a response. Needless to say, I ended just purchasing the table myself at the cost of about $40. No big deal. I vowed to give them another chance. However most recently, like within the last 2 weeks, they picked up another donation from my home. Approximately 6 garbage bags marked G.D., 1 small Home Depot Box also marked G.D. and another box that was marked NOT FOR DONATION. I have called these folks to try to retrieve this box to no avail. I had many items in this box that I will never be able to replace, my late dogs ashes, signed box from my children's grandfather, who is no longer with us and a few other items that are not replaceable . Green Drop called me today, a week later to tell me they were unable to locate said box. I will not be donating with them again. They are not able to follow directions. Very disappointed!!

Wings over America is a fairly new organization that focuses on offering transformative…read moreopportunities to at-risk youth by implementing a healing process with endangered birds! I love the fact that this organization is filled with raptor specialists that guide the children in having a special bond and relationship with a wild bird that they're paired up/assigned to - such an awesome idea! The child is responsible for the bird's health, daily care, and reconditioning. Once the bird is fully recovered, they are then released back into the wild :D The organization is partnered up with the DC Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services and the Earth Conservation Corps, and the birds are housed in a sanctuary set up in a 100-year old barn, located next to New Beginnings (a treatment facility). They also accept donations that will help fund this unique program! +raptor specialists (ask for Mr. Rodney Stotts!) +kids are paired up with an endangered bird :D

Oh yeah, this is exactly what I needed! After randomly booking this and not really knowing what to…read moreexpect, my son and I showed up on a saturday and were the first appointment. We were greeted by 3 staff members (apologies I don't remember their names). I initially thought this was just a venue to smash stuff but it was explained that this is a mental health venture aimed at spiritual healing. After signing the waivers and donning our PPE, we went in. The wooden structure isn't huge so you cant get running starts or make any long over hear arm movements, but it ended being just the right amount of space to get your smash on. Initially I was caught up in the novelty of smashing things, but a point in time came where that novelty faded and I found myself tapping into an aggression and emotion I did not go there with. It wasn't until I stood there out of breath with my hands sore that I truly understood what this place was for. That session provided a space and avenue for me to truly let go, for just a little bit. If you haven't done that recently (or ever), you need to book a session to understand what im talking about. A challenge was issued to me to put in work on the water heater and I made a decent hole in it but that thing was tough. They sure don't make em like they used to.

Great experience at Remix Rage Smash Room. I visited a few weeks ago based on a Groupon that I had…read more The staff was extremely helpful in organizing my session and preparing for my appointment. The site was well furnished with safety gear (goggles, gloves, etc.), tools (bats, sledgehammers, etc.) and objects to smash (microwave oven, water heater, glass bottles, etc.). It was stress relieving and fun with the opportunity to damage and destroy inanimate objects in a normally civilized world. I definitely recommend if in the DMV area.
