Thank YOU, for rallying the troops so skillfully and giving us all an opportunity to make a contribution to community capacity.

VC cares not only with the seniors, but also their volunteers and that is much appreciated.
LindaVolunteer
Thank you for supporting me with amazing volunteers. They are picking fantastic produce and exactly what I need. When they are unable to address my need, they call while at the store to see if something else would work. It’s almost like being in the store myself. I really appreciate their flexibility and generosity
