Caring for Our Clients and Our Local Communities
Our Community Outreach
The VLP Financial Advisors team is passionate about being involved in our community and supporting causes that we feel strongly about. Throughout the year we engage in a number of charitable activities, and we would like to invite you to join us in supporting any cause you feel passionate about. Read below about the causes and organizations we support, and visit our Facebook Page to view photos of past events and activities. Reach out to us and let us know if you are interested in partnering with us in any upcoming opportunities.

Cooking for Ronald McDonald House
Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children – a long time to be away or to divide a family. The Ronald McDonald House of NOVA provides a place for families to call home so they can stay close to their hospitalized child at little to no cost.
Enjoy cooking? Join us to make a meal for the families at the Ronald McDonald House.

Care Packages for Bethany House
During the months of November and December, our team collects and assembles care packages of supplies to be donated to the Bethany House of Northern Virginia. If you would like to donate items, please drop them by our office.
Ideas for items to donate: toiletries, hats, scarves, gloves, baby wipes, diapers, small toys, and school supplies for kids.

Purple Stride is a fundraiser by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Laying Wreaths Across America
Each year some of the VLP team participate in Wreaths Across America at Arlington National Cemetery to remember and honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance Wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud.
Join our team in participating in this patriotic duty this holiday season.

Shepherd's Center of Oakton-Vienna
The Shepherd's Center of Oakton-Vienna provides services to assist older adults to continue to live independently in their own homes and offers programs that supply opportunities for enrichment, learning, and socialization. We are committed to helping the Shepherd Center serve older persons in the Vienna and Oakton area of Northern Virginia.
Patti Vaughn* is on the Board of Directors and our Team supports the efforts of the Shepherd Center through the sponsorship of fundraising events.

Adopting Old Courthouse Road
As part of the environmental effort, VLP Financial Advisors participates in a program that is nationally recognized for "superior progress in the prevention and collection of litter."
VLP Financial Advisors adopted part of Old Courthouse Road located directly outside of the Vienna office. The Team goes out and picks up trash and debris on the road several times a year.
