We cannot thank you enough for all the love and support you have given Vera Lloyd during this time. We are excited to announce we raised over $19,000 through donations, silent auction items and sponsorships for our 2021 Garden Party event. We have exceeded our previous year goals and even surpassed our goal for this year. We could not do it without our wonderful hosts and everyone who contributed in their own special way. The proceeds from this event benefit our Transition Services Program which provides youth in state care with critical life skills including post-secondary education planning, employability skill building and financial literacy. With your support, Vera Lloyd can empower youth for a life after foster care that is hopeful and stable. Enjoy photos from our event below!
