Village in the Valley (ViVa) remains committed to elevating and uniting the Black community in the Rio Grande Valley while connecting cultures. This year’s Juneteenth Celebration has a bold goal of raising $100,000 to support ViVa’s year-round community programs, including our Community Closet for families with emergent needs, annual Thanksgiving meal distribution for seniors, scholarships for deserving youth, and other community and cultural programs. These efforts reflect ViVa’s commitment to expanding access, removing barriers, and investing in the next generation of leaders. As the cost of higher education continues to rise, your support helps ensure that opportunity is driven by potential—not circumstance.
