Arlington Neighborhood Village (ANV) provides help with organizing and possibly reducing the number of things at home—paperwork, clothing, decorative items and the like. ANV has a cadre of volunteers trained and eager to assist with planning and executing the task; the scope ranges from organizing one closet, room or type of item—like files or books—to a thorough downsize in preparation for a move. ANV understands that home organizing can be an emotional, intellectual and physical challenge and is ready to be your “right-hand person” as you plan and execute the task. ANV delivers donations to local thrift stores, brings unwanted but sensitive documents to the County’s shredding site, and/or gets hazardous items to the County’s hazardous materials collection point.
