Driven by an active board and a strong volunteer base, VPCA engages in a variety of activities year-round in order to make the neighborhood a better place to live, work and play. VPCA meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month (except August) at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom -- open to everyone! Visit vpca.org/events to register.

Our “Lock the Block: Action, Awareness, and Crime Prevention” neighborhood walk had a great turnout from FLPD with a chance for volunteers to meet the team that serves and protects our neighborhood. We walked the highest target streets and reminded our neighbors to lock their doors, take their fobs inside, and secure their valuables out of sight.
