Free Police and Firefighter Community Cookouts Return–See Schedule
Alexandria, VA – The Community Cookout allows residents to connect with representatives of city agencies and nonprofits. Meet your police officers and firefighters. The cookouts feature free food, music, and activities for both children and adults
Alexandria’s Community Cookout began with two dedicated staff members from the Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Activities. Their goal was to boost program participation and increase outreach to two of Alexandria’s most underserved communities.
What started as a small departmental project has since grown into a major community initiative. Today, more than 50 city agencies and nonprofit organizations participate. These events have reached over 20,000 residents and are now proudly supported by the City Manager’s Office.
