𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 our local Walmarts and Sam's Club for selecting VAC as grant recipients to help support our Holiday Program. The money received helped provide food and gifts to participants of the 2022 Holiday Program. We had over 1,000 families in this year's program.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 to First State Community Bank at Discovery Park for your generous donation. Individuals who set up new accounts at their newest location got to choose a local charity to donate money to. VAC was among the charities to benefit from their generosity.
