“I love Habitat Store in Cville. Been finding great finds for my home for years here. This is one of my fav restores. Use it for all my rug hooking supplies it’s the perfect piece. It was black and ugly when I purchased and had fun personalizing. Paid $30 and it’s a favorite useful solid piece of furniture for me now.”
“Second time playing there. It's nice that they offer families with WIC or Medicaid free/assisted entry. There are so very many activities to do while you are there.”
“We are so grateful to be part of the WCCC family. Our kids' teachers have supported learning and development, giving them room to be individuals while also learning to be a classroom friend. They communicate with us as parents and have made extremely helpful recommendations. Every teacher, staff member, and volunteer has loved our child as their own family. We have enjoyed getting to know other parents as well. We really appreciate how WCCC works hard to create a diverse environment with their tiered tuition structure. While it's hard to be away from our kids all day while we work, we cannot imagine a better environment for them to be in - they love going to school. We recommend WCCC to all other families in Charlottesville.”
“Martha Jefferson House is more than I ever thought a nursing home could be. They did more than just take care of my dad; they became a second family to him. You can pay somebody to take care of you, but you can’t pay them to love you— that has to come from their hearts. And it did. This remarkable organization and its remarkable staff made my dad feel safe, respected, and cared for during the last few years of his life. They gave him an invaluable gift. And I will forever be in their debt. If anybody out there is wondering which nursing home would be best to care for their aging parents, I highly recommend you check out this very special place. I can’t imagine any other nursing home coming close to MJH. ❤️”
“They were so nice. Dropped off some canned goods. Everyone should go thru their pantry and donate what they can. The items I had purchased and would probably never use was enlightened. Better to donate than to let the items go out of date and never get used. Thanks to the food bank, I was able to put it to good use.”
“Friendly Vets and what a great fish Fry this Friday. Good turn out and the fish was fantastic.i hear they will have another in September We hope to see more of our 600 members come then. This event is for you Please support your American Legion”
“Took my dog for a walk through the property on a Friday afternoon. Quiet, peaceful, and very educational. It’s lovely place to visit if you are looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Virginia’s woodlands.”
“Excellent studio offering filmmaking workshops for young people. My son, now a college freshman majoring in film, participated in many Light House programs and benefitted tremendously from the experience. If you have a kid interested in making movies, Light House should be your first port of call.”
“Service Dogs of Virginia is the hardest working, objective driven, and transparent non profit I’ve ever had the pleasure of volunteering with. They are so appreciative of their volunteers and committed to the cause. Phenomenal group, outstanding mission!”
“Each year a colleague and I take 18 students to help habitat build homes. They are an extremely well run organization who do amazing work. Their permanent staff are very skilled and a pleasure to work with. Volunteer with them, you won't regret it!”
“BEST FACILITY TO GIVE BLOOD! Stacy and Becky were the best nurses I have ever gotten via the American Red Cross. They were calm and patient with me when my nerves were elevated. I constantly struggle with my hard to reach veins and those nurses got it on the first poke. I was very, very happy with my experience. Cannot wait to donate there again!!”
“Absolutely incredible local/“townie” thrift shop. When you first walk in, there is a coffee station that asks for donations but it’s not mandatory. Every single staff member I spoke to was super kind and helpful. Within minutes I found so many useful treasures!
Also, it’s 10% off on Thursdays so 100% you have to go check it out”
