Cooking Up Community: The Story Behind Alexandria’s Annual Cookouts
The City of Alexandria Community Cookout was initiated by 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.
As a result, what began as a small departmental project has grown into a major community initiative. Today, more than 50 City agencies and nonprofit organizations participate in the cookouts. These events have reached and served over 20,000 residents and are now proudly supported by the City Manager’s Office.
If your organization or agency would like to join us, please contact michael.johnson@alexandriava.gov or call 703.898.5115.
