Review for Animal Welfare League of Alexandria Virginia Incorporated, Alexandria, VA, USA
This is a fabulous shelter. They did an excellent job of providing us support when we adopted our lab mix in the summer of 2002. The visit at the shelter was engaging and positive. The follow up home visit was great. They provided follow up support to answer questions about crate training about a month after adoption. We continue to donate to the shelter and receive their newsletter.

Review for The Koinonia Foundation, Inc., Alexandria, VA, USA
The Koinonia Foundation provides assistance and support programs for families in need in our local community in Fairfax County, Virginia. Koinonia reaches an amazing number of people in our community with such a small budget. The small staff and huge team of volunteers provide services with such caring and compassion, never passing judgment, and doing the best with everything they have. I am happy to volunteer for and donate to this organization.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
hearing the thanks expressed first-hand by the clients who access services from the Foundation. For instance, they've just picked up food from the pantry to feed their children; or they've just received a holiday food basket full of extras they'd never be able to splurge for to make a holiday celebration festive, special and meaningful.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
increase their budget, so they can expand their services; and increase support for their volunteer base so they can maximize volunteer engagement.

More sense of community with the other volunteers, since the volunteer base is so big. They've just started doing this with a monthly volunteer newsletter, which I expect and hope will continue.
