To accomplish our mission WE NEED YOUR HELP.  Donations are always accepted in any amount, or in goods and services. It all adds up and makes a huge difference. WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

 In addition to individual donations, The VEM survives thanks to the continued support of local businesses and organizations. They are encouraged to hold their own fundraisers (on their own) in support of the VEM. It not only raises money for the VEM, but brings awareness to the need and mission…as well as demonstrating the truly selfless community that the Carthage Area is all about.
