October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by sharing some VERY exciting news! 👏🏽💛🍲

After a long search for employment, our VCS client Hazel has landed a job at Sandok Sa Palayok Filipino Restaurant in Arlington! And judging by that smile, she's pretty excited about it. 🤸🏾‍♀️🎉 So are we!

A HUGE thank you to Sandok Sa Palayok for opening their doors to Hazel and giving her the opportunity to work, learn, and grow. Community employers like you make such a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve. Employment is about so much more than a paycheck. It's about confidence, independence, belonging, and the pride that comes with having a job of your own.

And to our dedicated VCS Employment Services team, thank you for never giving up on helping our clients find their place in the workforce!

📣📍SHOW SOME LOCAL LOVE! Stop by Sandok Sa Palayok Filipino Restaurant at 3810 166th Pl NE in Arlington and support a wonderful local business that's making a difference in our community!

A very special congratulations to our 2026 Volunteer of the Year, Nadine Cox! 🫶🏽💛🌟 Some people just have a way of making everything they touch a little better, and Nadine is certainly one of those people!

As both a member of our VCS family and our annual fundraising committee, Nadine gives so generously of her time, talents, and creativity. Whether she's sharing a new idea, putting her incredible design skills to work, or simply rolling up her sleeves to help wherever needed, Nadine is someone we can always count on.

Nadine, we hope you know just how much you mean to our VCS family! Thank you for all the heart, energy, and enthusiasm you bring to everything you do. This recognition is so well deserved, and we couldn't be happier to celebrate YOU! 🥂

Please join us in giving Nadine a big round of applause!

More candids from last night’s Opening Doors fundraiser! 🙏🏽💛☺️ There are a whole lot of wonderful people behind everything we do at VCS, and we were lucky to have so many of them together in one place last night!

Our staff and volunteers spent the evening sharing more about the programs and services they’re part of every day, visiting with guests, lending a hand wherever it was needed, and simply enjoying the evening alongside the people who make our VCS community so special.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a VCS celebration without our favorite band in all the land! Voices of the Village filled the evening with music and brought exactly the kind of energy and joy we’ve come to know and love from them. 🎶

To our staff, volunteers, musicians, and everyone who helped make last night happen - thank you. We truly couldn’t do what we do without you!

We did things a little differently this year, starting with how we approached some of our fundraising elements!

We brought back our silent auction, but said goodbye to the traditional paper bid sheets and went completely online. There may have been a few learning curves early in the evening, but before long, phones were out, bids were flying, and it turned into a really fun and interactive part of the night!

We also brought back our “Wishing Grove” with a new twist - a Star Wall filled with specific needs from across VCS. 💫👏🏽🌟 Guests could choose a star and directly help fulfill something meaningful for our clients, programs, and organization.

And then there was the auction itself! A huge thank you to the incredible businesses, organizations, families, and individuals who donated this year. Because of their generosity, we were able to put together 60 fabulous auction packages for our guests to bid on!

And now the clock is officially ticking... only 11+ months until we get to do it all again. 🥰 Mark your calendars now - we already have some ideas for next year!
