The Alexandria Firefighters Local 2141 Children’s Holiday Toy Drive is underway! Donations are being accepted and can be dropped off at any Alexandria firehouse. Collection boxes are out in each firehouse.
Alexandria Firefighters Local 2141 Children’s Holiday Toy Drive continued our partnership with Alexandria Hospital by presenting the staff at the NICU with a catered holiday meal of BBQ and sides and new baby blankets for our youngest hospital patients.
We would also like to thank our community partners at Mission BBQ-Kingstowne for supplying the meal and for their continued support to Local 2141.
We also want to thank our community partners at Willow Spring Towing and Recovery for their generous donation to Local 2141’s Children’s Holiday Toy Drive.

Local 2141 also accepted a donation of Thanksgiving turkeys from our community partners at Giant store 2742 on East Glebe Road. The turkeys were used to feed 10 families at the Alexandria women’s shelter. We thank Giant food for helping us give back to the community.
We also supplied a full Thanksgiving dinner to the Ramirez family of Alexandria whose apartment was destroyed by fire recently.
