Huge Delivery to VLC's June Family


Thanks to all of the donors for their generosity to the June Family.  We delivered last night.  Mom, her 3 & 16 year old daughters and 12 year old son had moved into their new apartment a few days prior....it was hard to tell because there was NOTHING in the apartment but a few clothes. VLC coordinated 2 trailers & 3 SUV's for this delivery and shared beds, and bedding a dresser, desk, computer, printer, toys, books, couch, futon, living room tables, lamps, TV, DVR, bookshelf, a shower curtain, and towels, kitchen table & chairs, dishes, silverware, coffee maker, crock pot, microwave, boxes of kitchen utensils, baking and casserole dishes etc.... It was truly one of our favorite deliveries ever! It was like Christmas on a 100 degree evening in July...   A delivery of love to a family who were both gracious and grateful.  They asked us to thank you all! 

June's Project- VLC's Garden for Good!


This month the VLC project of the month was for one of VLC's own projects!
A group of VLC volunteers shared 2 hours of time on Saturday June 23rd to help
weed, mulch and ready the garden for the coming hot summer months.
Thanks to the 10 volunteers who helped....to those who have signed up to weed
and water all summer,  and to those who have signed up to harvest and
deliver the produce to our area Food Pantries and Meal Sites!  Families who
are struggling in our community will have some 'perishables' at their meals....
salads and veggies for the 4th season in a row!!
