Donations

The Twig, the Junior Auxiliary of Inova Alexandria Hospital, is an organization of women dedicated to providing financial aid, volunteer service and support to Inova Alexandria Hospital. We operate The Twig Thrift Shop, which helps support our mission through the sale of high-quality, gently used, donated merchandise. We accept donations of clean, gently used clothing and household items. We depend on the sale of these items to support our programs and services.

In evaluating appropriate donations, a good rule of thumb is to consider whether your family or friends would find the item(s) useful if you passed that item on to them. We ask that items be clean, not broken and sellable. Donations should come in containers or bags and we appreciate if donations are of manageable size.

Do you have gently used women’s or men’s clothing or housewares that you’d like to donate to a good cause? Now is your chance! The Twig Thrift Shop will be conducting its Drive-By Donation Day on August 17th from 10-3 to ready our shop for reopening on September 4th. Just pull up to the shop at 106 North Columbus Street in Old Town Alexandria and we will remove the boxes and bags from your car and give you a tax donation receipt. And the proceeds from your donation will benefit Inova Alexandria Hospital. Thank you, thank you for thinking of us and Inova Alexandria!
