As a co-op, every dollar at VTL is reinvested back into the organization and our members!

Our Board has approved the Fiscal Year 2027 budget, outlining how we plan to invest nearly $70,000 into the programs, services, and initiatives that strengthen our community.

Thank you to our members for making these investments possible. Together, we’re continuing to grow our cooperative into one that prioritizes connection, opportunity, and impact!
