Readers' Choice: Best Local Nonprofit

Patch continues its series that asks you about your favorite things in Oakton over the next few weeks.

This week: What is your favorite nonprofit in Oakton? We've compiled a list of Oakton's nonprofits and set up a poll at the bottom of this article. Vote for your favorite and tell your friends to vote for theirs!

If you’re a big fan of a particular organization, pump them up by submitting photos or other multimedia.

Click "Nearby" in the upper right corner of the site to view this week’s "Readers' Choice" in a neighboring Patch town.

Oakton Patch has chosen the following nonprofits for this poll:

• Amy's Army
• Friends of Oakton Library
• Northern Virginia Family Service
• Oakton Swim and Racquet Club
• Unified Prevention Coalition

We know many nonprofits are based in Oakton, so if we left your favorite off the list, feel free to promote it in the comments section to bring awareness to our readers.

Over the coming weeks we’ll highlight other "Readers' Choice" categories that highlight local businesses, things to do and places to see. It’s an opportunity to learn more about our town. Besides, everyone loves a good debate about who offers the best this or where’s the best place for that.

Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be chosen based on poll results and reviews in the comments section. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.

Voting closes at 9 a.m. Friday.

The winner will be announced at noon Friday.

So tell us which local nonprofit is your favorite. And write a comment below to tell us why.
