Via’s mission is to provide leadership, support, opportunities
and resources for people so they may be independent, productive
and enjoy full lives within the community. To fulfill that
mission, Via relies on support from businesses, municipalities,
organizations and individuals to fill funding state funding
gaps for our programs.
Via has developed partnerships with local cities and companies
to strengthen our relationships within our community. We continue
to find creative ways to serve children and adults through
partnership building with our friends and neighbors. Consider
partnering with Via to support our programs for children and
adults with disabilities.
