Where Your Donations Go:

✅ Cause #1 – HVAC replacement. Our aging heating and cooling systems are failing and in urgent need of repair. The system is 30 years old and is outdated. The VCC provides programs and services to children, families and seniors. Many visitors to the VCC experience mobility and health challenges.

✅ Cause #2 - Development of forums, educational materials and sharing of cultural and professional resources to enable our people, as well as the general public in areas including but not limited to financial literacy, board governance, public speaking, real estate, musical and dance lessons, and workshop on Indentured labourers.

✅ Cause #3 – Preservation and enhancement of our cultural artifacts and exhibits, some of which are over a hundred years old including; a mock house (called a "logie"), a mock ship (represents the "Hesperus" of 1838), grass cutters and 'cutlass', kitchen utensils and clay pottery, hand mill (for grinding dhal to make 'dhal puri'), a mock fireside or "chulha" used for cooking (equivalent to today's stove), original passports, stamps and written arrival documentation, and more.

Join us at the VCC on Sat May 23rd for its 28th Annual Caribbean Indian Heritage Event where many of the cultural artifacts and exhibits will be on display. Entrance is FREE thanks to donors like you! Free parking!

Whether you choose to join us for the run or donate today, we thank you for being part of the celebration!
