We understand that this construction is happening at an inopportune time. Unfortunately, due to contractor availability and fiscal year constraints, we had to move quickly. Thank you in advance for your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Feel free to pop into our virtual front desk during normal business hours with any questions!

If everything stays on schedule, we will be hosting a Grand Re-Opening on May 22nd with catering and games! As always, we'll keep you updated with any new changes.

Wow! We hit it out of the ball park, raising $6,720 for the center. We can't thank you enough! With over 61 people having donated, we've beaten previous VRC donor records by a landslide. On top of that, thanks to everyone's generosity and targeted giving, we also won $2,000 during the two Power Hours put on by the Foundation.
We appreciate all the support and look forward to utilizing these funds to support Veteran-Students in the near future.
