On April 17, VMMissions participated along with 156 other agencies in the Great Community Give, a dedicated giving day for nonprofit organizations in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, Virginia.

VMMissions held a cookout and open house over lunch, serving 70 burgers and 30 hotdogs as some of our workers, board members, supporters, and staff enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship, adding a characteristic relational touch to this “online” day.

We are grateful to God for the outpouring of donations—57 donors contributed $19,989, including challenge gifts. VMMissions also won the Early Dawn Power Hour Prize sponsored by Evermore Construction, adding $700.

The net total (after expenses and fees) was $20,250, representing 135% of the goal of $15,000. Thank you to everyone who participated!
