Woman's Club Of McLean Donates $13K To Volunteer Fire Department

MCLEAN, VA — The Woman’s Club of McLean presented a check for $13,000 to the McLean Volunteer Fire Department on Monday as part of an effort to help the fire department purchase a new ambulance.

The funds were raised during the Woman’s Club “Kitchen and Garden Tour” in April. The check presentation was made at the McLean Volunteer Fire Department at 1455 Laughlin Avenue.

Kitchens and gardens on Ballentrae Farm Drive and Countryside at Holyrood Drive in McLean were among the sites that were part of the Woman’s Club tour on April 27.

The Kitchen and Garden Tour also was part of a celebration of the McLean Volunteer Fire Department’s more than 100 years of service to the community.

The cost of the new ambulance for the fire department will be well into six figures, and MVFD is continuing its fundraising effort. "This check is a terrific boost to our efforts," the fire department said.
