Lansdowne Woods Donates Meals To Loudoun's Front-Line Workers

LANSDOWNE, VA — Lansdowne Woods of Virginia, an adult community in Loudoun County, delivered meals to personnel at a Loudoun fire station as part of its efforts to give back to the region's front-line workers during the coronavirus crisis. The retirement community has a tradition of giving since it opened in the late 1990s.

LWVA raised enough money from its residents to purchase meals from Crossroads Restaurant, the restaurant at Lansdowne Woods of Virginia. The community delivered 15 hot lunches for the crew on duty at Ashburn Vol. Fire Station 22 on Riverside Drive in Lansdowne on July 17 and an additional 15 hot dinners to the volunteer crew on duty later that day.

Lansdowne Woods Director of Community Activities Donaliece Carey and Director of Security Paul Earle made the meal deliveries to the nearby fire station.

LWVA also is seeking to raise funds from community members to donate meals to front-line workers at Inova Loudoun Hospital. The community has seed money but is hoping to raise additional funds to cover the cost of feeding the many front-line workers at Inova Loudoun. The community plans to make the meal deliveries to the hospital in August.
