VTC ENTERPRISES

2024 FY Program Accomplishments:VTC participated in the ELKS Queen Contest and achieved victory for the seventh time, thanks in large part to the efforts of our queen candidate, Tori Ortiz. VTC raised over $500,000 to support the organization.VTC, alongside other organizations that provide services to individuals with disabilities, successfully lobbied the California legislature and the governor for a rate increase for services for individuals with disabilities, set to take effect on January 1st, 2025. This accomplishment is especially noteworthy given the state's dire financial situation at the end of the pandemic. As a result of this increase, VTC's adult day programs will receive sustainable funding from the state of California for the first time in over 15 years. The rate increase agreed upon by the California legislature also includes a commitment to automatically review and adjust the rates paid to organizations like VTC every two years. We hope this leads to long-term sustainable funding for such services.Finally, in the fall of 2023, VTC completed the purchase of All-American Screen Printing. This screen-printing business enhances our existing print service offerings, and we plan to create further synergy by relocating our print operations to be adjacent to the All-American screen-printing business on Oak St. this winter. Acquiring the screen-printing business provides additional revenue diversification for VTC and brings the total number of small businesses operating as divisions of VTC to five.
