DCCU Volunteers + Photography = A Winning Combination 💰🥕🌶️

As a part of their company-wide service month, DuPont Community Credit Union employees were invited to take photos of their volunteer service at the various non-profits they served at during DCCU Cares month for a photography contest. Chris Hughes, one of the volunteers who served at our VMRC Farm at Willow Run was the winner of the competition! To celebrate, DCCU will be making a donation to the VMRC Foundation.

Kudos to the VMRC Farm Team for providing an amazing volunteer experience for this corporate volunteer partner. The group harvested over 120lbs of produce (60 of which were jalapeños)!

Learning and Growing, That's what We Do!

On Wednesday, October 29, we had Dr. Natalie Kerr from James Madison University’s Psychology Department give a presentation titled “Barriers to Building Meaningful Connections and How to Overcome Them.” Dr. Kerr discussed the psychological and social factors that can make it more challenging to build authentic relationships and shared research-based strategies for fostering deeper connections.

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we pause to honor the vibrant cultures, histories and traditions that enrich our community. From the warmth of shared stories to the joy of tasting favorite dishes passed down through generations, these moments enable us to bring people together.

At VMRC, belonging isn’t about being the same. It’s about valuing the many ways we can come together to serve, care and grow. And as we move through a season filled with many cultural observances, we recognize that the people who represent these cultures make our community strong.
