On Monday, December 18, the Arcola-Pleasant Valley VFD brought the third full load of toys and food to the Loudoun Holiday Coalition.
Every year for the past four years, the department has collected food and new toys during our popular “Santa Parades” in the local neighborhoods. This year was our best yet, with three truckloads of supplies filling our new 14’ box truck.
The APVVFD would like to thank all the residents of South Riding, Lenah Run, The Ridings at Blue Springs, Stone Ridge, Forest Run, Forest Manor, and Brambleton for their generosity. Additionally, we would like to thank the staffs of fire stations 19 and 7 for their participation.
