Charitable Giving
VMRC has operated in Harrisonburg for over 57 years, and has a strong, stable relationship between its staff and residents, their families, community members, churches and businesses. People who give to VMRC do so knowing their gifts are an investment that creates hope in elders—a hope that resonates with each of us as we age.
