“Incredibly impressive place. Gave museum a separate review. The complex is beautiful a truly wonderful reuse of a prison. The cute art studios and exhibits are an amazing public service, bravo to those that championed this. Young ladies in visitor's center couldn't have been nicer, including having to listen to be drone on about meeting Ms. Hirshhorn and having lunch with Steve Ivy :) Though I am nominally living in Texas, going to suggest visiting here to my local sister and friends interest in art. Cute place, including the nice brewery, who had to listen to me drone on about Harpoon and Dan. Not sure I will ever be back, but local folks should make sure they check this place out!”

“I have received the best services at this facility starting from the emergency financial assistance department down to the food distribution department. All the people that work at this facility are very helpful, kind and very considerate. All the people that work at this facility also walk that extra mile to give you all the help that you need at the time. Thanks for all that you do for me! God bless!”

“This goodwill is very good it has very nice merchandise due to the higher class. The kids like to toss the toys on the ground yet that is just the failure of the parents. Yet the staff were quick on cleaning and organizing the message and was very nice when I found something unmarked”

“Yes, the VEC as a whole is inconvenient and unhelpful when you try to call. I went to the Alexandria location and they are appointment only, scheduled out about a month (at the time of writing). This Woodbridge location, like the others, is unable to answer the phones when you call. There is no way to reach a real person by calling. However, their phone machine mentioned “no appointment needed.” I took a risk, drove an hour, and was able to walk in, tell them my issue, and after a brief wait, they have helped me get my unemployment PIN. Their employees are very kind and helpful. The VEC system sucks but this location is full of helpful and kind people. It’s not up to them I’m sure whether they are able to receive calls and they do not control the VEC process or websites. The least they can do is provide great customer service in-person and they do so. They have many computers, provide printing service (up to 10 pages), they assist you with the computers, and their location is super clean. This experience was a breath of fresh air after dealing with the VEC customer support phone number constantly “not accepting calls at this time” while being unable to schedule a callback. If possible, if you are near this location, I encourage you to visit this location. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THEY DO NOT CONTROL THE VEC, THEY ARE ONLY HERE TO HELP YOU.NOTE THIS LOCATION IS CLOSED FOR LUNCH FROM 12:00pm - 12:30pm.”
