In response to the horrific weather situation over this past weekend created by Hurricane Helene, the Virginia Foundation for Community Foundation Education (VFCCE) is reaching out to you and our many constituents to ask for your generous support to the Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges, to provide emergency funds for our colleges in the regions where the most devastation has occurred:
The Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges will be collected through the VFCCE, and immediately disbursed to the local college foundations. The need is urgent and now.
Give here.
These unique educational initiatives were created to serve specific geographic areas or students with specific obstacles or needs to achieve results that elevate the skills and earning potential of Virginia’s workforce.

For youth who have experienced foster care, adolescence is a search for someone who is willing to invest in their future. Here in Virginia, that search can end in success thanks to Great Expectations.
