In February of 2010, the Volusia County Corvette Association was formed as a group intent on giving back to our community by supporting local charities. We have had a couple of main charities in past years with The Neighborhood Center of West Volusia as our main focal point for the last few years.
The Center offers a wide variety of assistance to those in need including; emergency housing for individuals and families, food pantry, bill and job assistance as well as a thrift store on site.
On Monday, November 23rd, eight Corvettes carrying ten V.C.C.A. members arrived at the Neighborhood Center to present a $2,000.00 donation on behalf of the almost 60 Club Members. Pictured are the V.C.C.A. members as well as the Center’s Director of Development, Norma Walter, accepting the check from V.C.C.A. Past President Chuck Powers.
Other groups receiving donations, also delivered by our Members, include the Domestic Abuse Council of Volusia County, DeLand Y.M.C.A., Good Samaritan Clinic in DeLand and the Hart to Heart Breast Cancer Foundation (which is run by the New Smyrna Speedway). The Hart to Heart Foundation will receive their donation at a later date during a ceremony on the track before the race program begins.
Our growing membership will allow the V.C.C.A. to continue their charitable contributions into 2016 and beyond.
Keep the Vettes Rollin’
