Village Friends VFVV is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides a support system to help subscribers 60+ in the Auburn/Opelika area to live independently.

Village Friends Village Values (VFVV) is a local, self-governing, nonprofit (503c) organization that offers subscribers 60 and older in the Auburn-Opelika area a support system that helps them remain in their own homes for as long as possible. To this end, specific services are provided by vetted volunteers. VFVV also functions as a source of referrals to trusted contractors. VFVV is funded by subscriber fees and donations. VFVV originated with a 2011 OLLI @ Auburn course led by Joanna Hoit and Mary Burkhart, who introduced the "Village concept" to the class during the course. At the end of the course, an advisory committee was formed, culminating in the creation of Village Friends Village Values. Under the able guidance of the founding officers, shown at left, an initial organizational infrastructure was developed, membership increased, and an application for non-profit status was submitted. In 2014, VFVV received its federal non-profit designation, a new slate of officers was elected, and VFVV began providing services to its subscribers
