We Rise
Together
Dignity. Stability. Possibility.
VAC is a local nonprofit responding to the basic needs of the individuals within our community - a community that takes radical responsibility for each other.
When a community takes care of its own, nothing is impossible.
Our purpose is to call on our community to rise and serve one another–moving humanity forward through the power of action.
Services & Programs
VAC provides options, support, and resources to community members in Boone County looking for assistance.
Get HelpSupport Our Mission
Donating to VAC means giving a family food, a newly employed person a gas voucher so they can get to work, and helping out with a medical copay. We know that when people have safety and stability first, everything else becomes possible.
DonateTAKE ACTION
We’re always looking for volunteers who are open to meeting people where they are, not where we think they should be.
Get InvolvedReal change happens when we rise together.
Our empowerment model creates lasting change because people develop their own agency rather than becoming dependent on us. But more than that—this is what dignity looks like.
