Volunteer firefighters in Dale City got a free meal on Labor Day.
The Olive Garden restaurant at Potomac Mills mall brought a spread of food to Dale City Volunteer Fire Department Station 13 on Hillendale Drive on Monday. Fire crews munched on lasagna, spaghetti, ziti, salad, and, of course, breadsticks.
The restaurant also made a specially-prepared a gluten-free rotini meal for an officer at the department.
“We heard one of the officers was gluten free after we got back to the restaurant. So we made a special trip back out,” said Tim Whitley, with Olive Garden. “We didn’t want to leave anybody out because we know these guys wouldn’t leave us out.”
Employees from Olive Garden set out the food on a buffet table about 2 p.m. They came back about a half later with the gluten-free meal.
Whitley said he prepared enough food to serve four Dale City Volunteer Fire Department stations. The restaurant selected the volunteer company as part of their annual-Labor Day give back program that has been ongoing for the past seven years.
Olive Garden is located at 14405 Gideon Drive in Woodbridge.
