❤️ Thank You for Supporting GVFD❤️

The Greenbelt Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mission BBQ – Greenbelt for their unwavering support, especially through their generous donation from the Red Cup Campaign, and to the Greenbelt Co-Op Grocery Store for selecting GVFD as their Round Up recipient for the month of November.

These generous contributions help us continue serving our community, and they would not be possible without the incredible support of the Greenbelt community. Every dollar rounded up, every red cup purchased, and every act of support makes a real difference.

We are truly grateful to our local partners and neighbors who continue to stand behind GVFD. Your support fuels our mission and strengthens our ability to serve—thank you! 🚒🔥

GVFD always loves bringing Santa to Venture Crew 746’s Winter Wonderland! 🎅✨
Santa and our volunteers had a blast meeting so many of Greenbelt’s “good list” kiddos and families. ❤️💚

Thanks for having us—see you next year!

🎅✨ SANTA IS COMING TO GREENBELT! ✨🚒

It’s our favorite time of year — the GVFD Santa Run 2025 is officially on the calendar! Santa traded in his sleigh for something a little louder and a whole lot shinier… a fire engine! 🎄🔥

The jolly guy himself will be cruising through Greenbelt spreading holiday cheer, waving to families, and lighting up the neighborhood with that famous “HO HO HO!”

📅 2025 Santa Run Schedule:
🚒 Sunday, December 21st starting at 6pm - Frankline Park Apartments, Motiva Apartments
🚒 Tuesday, December 23rd starting at 6pm - Greenbriar, Windsor Green, Hunting Ridge, Greenbelt Lake Village
🚒 Wednesday, December 24th starting at 6pm - Old Town, Lakewood, University Square Area, Boxwood, Lakeside North

Make sure to bundle up, listen for the sirens (the happy kind!), and give Santa and our volunteers a big wave as they pass by! If you live in a smaller court or away from a main road, come out to the closest corner to see the big guy himself!

Thank you for supporting the Greenbelt Volunteer Fire Department — we love celebrating this magical tradition with our community. ❤️

🎅🚒 See you along the route!

🇺🇸 Supporting Our Active Duty Service Members 🇺🇸
Over the weekend, GVFD was proud to team up with Rolling Thunder Maryland 1 for their 5th Annual Turkeys for Troops meal giveaway! We are incredibly thankful for those who stepped up to serve, and for the brave men and women who continue to defend our freedoms.

As we head into the holiday week, we also want to remind everyone to stay safe:
🔥 Never leave food cooking on the stove, in the oven, or in a fryer unattended
🚗 Drive safely and responsibly while traveling

From our GVFD family to yours — Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Stay safe and enjoy the holiday!
