Volunteer Alexandria collected 36,000 pounds of nonperishable food in its 2025 Food4ALX campaign, the nonprofit announced on social media.
While falling short of the 40,000-pound goal, Volunteer Alexandria says that the food will help feed thousands of Alexandrians. The third annual campaign was conducted throughout the month of July, and the results were announced today (Friday, Aug. 22). The food will be donated to Hunger Free Alexandria’s food pantries and ALIVE!.
“A huge thank you to everyone who donated, sorted, and supported Volunteer Alexandria’s 2025 Food4ALX campaign,” Volunteer Alexandria said on Facebook. “Your generosity helped raise 36,000 pounds of nonperishable food that will feed over 2,000 people for a month!”
The drive was sponsored by Skanska, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., United Bank, and Fitness Together.
Volunteer Alexandria is still accepting donations.
