Please call the ANV office at 703-509-8057 as soon as possible to cancel the service.

Call (703-509-8057) or email (office@ANVarlington.org) the ANV office to find out if we provide the service you need. The staff can tell you if it is something our volunteers can do, and, if not, they will help you find another source to provide the service. It’s important for members to know that ANV fills service requests only to the extent that volunteers are available. We are always looking for ways to improve, so if you have ideas for new or different services, please contact us.  A listing of current services can be found here.

If you think of something else that you need done while a volunteer is at your home, please do not ask the volunteer to do additional tasks. You should contact the ANV office. Volunteers are instructed not to take on extra tasks because the office needs to know exactly what services are being provided. If the ANV office is open at the time of your call and the volunteer is still at your house and willing, it may be possible to get the go-ahead to have the service completed. Otherwise, it may be necessary for the office to schedule a separate visit.

You should not call a volunteer directly to arrange a service. All requests must be made through the ANV office. Members may request a specific volunteer; however, it may not always be possible to honor such requests.

You can call the office and talk to a staff person if you have a concern about a volunteer and/or what the volunteer is doing. You can also ask the volunteer to leave.

ANV serves members in all parts of Arlington County. Volunteers often need to know where a neighborhood is located for a particular member. You can use these links to view maps of Arlington Civic Associations with neighborhood names:

Emergency personnel are trained to look for the File of Life on the refrigerator. Completing and posting it can provide important information to emergency responders you may not be able to provide if you are in the middle of a medical emergency. This information could help the responders make faster and more accurate treatment decisions.
