Our 3rd Annual Spring Clean Out is always a popular event and we want to thank our fabulous clients so much for coming out! We invite all of our past clients to come donate their unused or unwanted goods at Immanuel Church on the Hill at 3606 Seminary Road, Alexandria, VA 22314. ALIVE! Alexandria, 123 Junk, TrueShred, and Yuck Old Paint all came to help our clients with their spring cleaning. 

We also want to thank our amazing sponsors who we are so thankful for: our premier sponsor Ararity, as well as Craig Miller with Citizens Bank, BOWA Construction, and TheTeam at Town and Country Movers. Read on for more information on these great individuals and companies!
