One of the founding principles of The Verve Partnership is “Giving Back”.

Our first project was centered around just that in working with Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas (VOACC) on an office renovation that needed some love. In line with a non-profit organization called The One Percent, we committed to donating 10% of our annual hours to assist non-profits in need – strengthening them through the design of the built environment. We still do this today.

Relevant.
In line with our mission.
A nice way to start a company.

Eleven years later, I am now on the VOACC Board, more than happy to lend “some” inspiration, hope, creativity, whatever I can to help this organization help those that they help.

If you do not know, VOACC, founded in Baltimore, is a faith-based non-profit that provides health and human services in Maryland, DC, Virginia, North and South Carolina. See more here.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has wreaked havoc on all of us; especially those most vulnerable. It has also had a big impact on the ability for our organization to fundraise via events, which clearly are not occurring to support this and other non-profit organizations.

Therefore, the annual Harvest for Hope Fundraiser – typically a +200 person event – is going virtual and our development team is killing it.

We are offering fantastic activities and incentive packages sure to engage, entertain and gather in support of Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas.

 

This year’s Harvest for Hope is now a month-long campaign from 10.20 to 11.22

Throughout that month, we will be hosting virtual events:

Wine Tastings (My Favorite) with tasting kits delivered right to your door to participate.
Mixology Nights with mixology kits delivered right to your door to participate.
Trivia Night (mobile- and family-friendly) which is a 4-night series of application-based trivia.
Silent Auction, which you can register for now and will open on November 5^th; and a
Livestream Event, which is the grand finale for the campaign where you learn more about VOACC.
