I have been volunteering with Volunteer Alexandria for ten years in different capacities. The one event that they host that I try to never miss is the annual Toy Drive. This event supports the underserved families in our city by collecting and distributing toys during the holidays. This event will support hundreds of families and their children this year as they have in past years. VolAlx recruits businesses, organizations and individuals to collect toys and then has volunteers gather the toys, sort them and present them to the families who shop for the toys for their families.
Volunteer Alexandria is a wonderful organization dedicated to the empowerment of the community through volunteerism.
I've been volunteering with Volunteer Alexandria since 2017. It's been a wonderful experience that has far exceeded my initial expectations. There are numerous ways to give back and volunteer on your schedule. Especially during the pandemic, volunteering kept me connected and let me be part of something positive. The organization's staff, leadership, and volunteers create an upbeat, inclusive, caring, and appreciative culture. Coming from the "not-for-profit" world, I have enjoyed learning how "non-profits" manage. Highly recommend!
I want to express my strongest recommendation for Volunteer Alexandria. As a long-time partner, SHRM has worked with Marion, and she has been instrumental in helping us find the perfect projects that cater to our ever-changing needs. Her guidance and support are invaluable to our team, and we know we can count on her to be with us every step of the way.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with Volunteer Alexandria and Marion.
I have been involved with Volunteer Alexandria for 3+ years and I am so amazed by their endless impact on the Alexandria community. This is their 40th anniversary and their commitment to aiding families in need during the Covid-19 pandemic has helped bring us together.
Working with Volunteer Alexandria connects you to an extensive network of resources to assist in raising funds for your organization, developing programs and providing a massive volunteer base to assist with events.
Working with Marion Brunken, Executive Director, continues to be a pleasure. Her responsive professionalism and kind nature mean the world. We look forward to continuing our support of such a wonderful organization.
This charity has improved the lives of tens I if thousands of children, elderly and economically challenged since COVID hit. They have earned this level of recognition!
Volunteer Alexandria is AWESOME. Their mission is to match people to the needs of local non-profits. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I have been very impressed by their ability to rapidly and effectively help schools and the community. I also enjoy their Women & Wine events; the last one motivated me to increase my volunteer efforts for the upcoming election.
My experience with Volunteer Alexandria, far exceeds my expectation! ALL of my request for any type of volunteer svc. was met with immediate and professional speed. The professional skill each call is beyond excellent.
Volunteer Alexandria has found a way to really stand out and stand up for its community since the pandemic began. They are still extremely engaged with the community, including hosting virtual events, like Women&, to allow people to still feel connected. I am extremely honored to serve on the Board and witness all the good VolAlex is doing!
Volunteer Alexandria is a small but powerful organization. During the recent pandemic, the staff and volunteers have been on the front lines for months packing and delivering meals and giving comfort to seniors. They have made masks, donated much needed funds and given of their time and compassion for their community. VolAlex is a top rated non profit and I am honored be on the Board!
Volunteer Alexandria has a long history, in various iterations, of providing support to volunteers and organizations using volunteers in our community. While much attention is gathered for the organization as a result of Spring for Alexandria and the Business Philanthropy Summit, Volunteer Alexandria is hard at work throughout the year--making connections and helping others in need. I give 5 stars to this 5 Star organization.
Volunteer Alexandria does a wonderful job of connecting volunteers with non-profits in the Alexandria Community. As a Volunteer Coordinator, I've used their database to list volunteer opportunities that are harder to fill as I could reach a wider audience. I've also refereed many volunteers to them to help them find appropriate volunteer opportunities if we didn't have anything that matched their needs. They often reach out of the non-profit community with training as well as to offer support. I think non-profits, volunteers and community leaders can look to Volunteer Alexandria for support as they provide a wide ranger of services and are very costumer service focused.
Volunteer Alexandria is a wonderful organization that serves as a conduit between those seeking an opportunity to serve their community and those with worthy goals in need of support. Standing out among non-profits, the staff of Volunteer Alexandria are organized and professional.
You should consider Volunteer Alexandria in your annual giving plans, as well as using the organization's resources for donations of your time!
Volunteer Alexandria services as a critical role in our community, matching those with time to dedicate to a charitable cause to organizations in need of services. It acts as a matchmaker, linking the time, talent, energy and desire to contribute to appropriate places looking for these things. The organization makes volunteerism easy, accessible, fun, and meaningful, and really makes a difference in our community.

Volunteer Alexandria is a great organization that pairs up people to volunteer opportunities. My company did a team volunteer project with youth and it was very successful! All of my volunteers really enjoyed themelves and not only was it a great team building experience for us but we loved that we worked hand to hand with middle and high school kids. Kudos to Volunteer Alexandria!
