Thank you, VFD!
Thank you to the Voorheesville Volunteer Fire Department for donating the proceeds of their Fall Fest to VCSF! The $2600+ will help us fund more awesome projects in the community. Thank you to all who attended and supported the event!
VCSF Sets the Stage at VES
The Foundation granted funds to the Voorheesville Elementary School to install a performance area at the school playground. VCSF is proud to have been a major donor for the construction of the playground in 2018.
Solar Lights on Village Signs
The Village is shining a little brighter thanks to Gabriella Curley who submitted a grant request for VCSF’s Big Idea competition. Her idea was to use solar lights to light the signs around the village so they could be seen at night.
Support VCSF at Fall Fest
Join us October 1st from 7 – 11pm! The Voorheesville Fire Department knows how to throw a party and the whole community is invited. Fall Fest will feature live music from the Electric City Horns, a bounce house, raffles, food, drinks, firepits, s’mores, and more. The fire department has again selected VCSF to receive the proceeds from the event and we are extremely excited! Last year’s event raised over $3,000 for the Foundation. Thank you, VFD! We look forward to seeing community friends and families enjoying this fun event.
