VI Gives Back
Ride4Cops
The Ride4Cops Program roared into Richmond on May 6, 2011 to raise awareness of the inherent dangers of law enforcement and the sacrifices made by the families of fallen officers. The ride culminated with a ceremony on the lawn of the Virginia Capitol to honor police officers who have lost their lives serving the people of Virginia. Ride4Cops founder Harry Herington and other VIPs honored police officers who have lost their lives serving the people of Virginia. Herington also presented donations to Virginia Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) Chapter. Click on the images below to view photos from the Virginia Ride4Cops event.
Central Virginia Food Bank
Feed More is the umbrella organization of the Central Virginia Food Bank, Meals on Wheels Serving Central Virginia, and the Community Kitchen. By joining forces as FeedMore, we can more efficiently and effectively serve people in need and fill the food gaps that exist across our community. Food and fund drives are a simple but powerful way to gather needed foods and helpful cash contributions to sustain ongoing hunger relief efforts across our community. Food Drive hosts can encourage donors to contribute the items that are most urgently needed: peanut butter, canned tuna, salmon, chicken, and ham; canned fruits and vegetables; hot and cold cereals; pasta and rice.
Virginia Blood Services
A blood donor at Virginia Blood Services (VBS) is a special kind of volunteer. By committing about an hour of your time, you can donate a gift more precious than time or money: the gift of life through blood. One donation of blood can help save up to three patients' lives. VBS provides blood services to hospitals and dialysis centers throughout central Virginia and beyond. We are fortunate to live in a region where sophisticated medical facilities and transplant programs are available; however, these programs require many blood donations.
