VTC Enterprises Empowered by VTC Enterprises and LOVARC. The mission of BEACON is to assist individuals with disabilities to achieve their life goals!

February 5, 2021
VTC Enterprises was founded in 1961 by a group of Santa Maria Valley parents seeking life skills services for their adult children with significant developmental disabilities. We offer a wide range of services to people with disabilities who desire training or assistance in areas related to employment and daily living. Activities take place at our main location in Santa Maria, our satellite location in Lompoc, in various community settings and businesses, and at our Source America® contract locations on Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) and Naval Base Ventura County. Services are individualized as each person helps design their own plan and goals, and great effort is put into understanding the preferences of those who are non-verbal or have difficulty communicating. We are accredited by CARF International (an independent nonprofit accreditor of health and human services agencies) and have earned 14 consecutive 3-Year Accreditations (the highest award possible), most recently in February 2020. VTC Enterprises is a proud AbilityOne™ partner agency, holding two of our four Federal Government contracts at VAFB for over 20 years.

📣 We’re excited to share a new chapter in our story.

We are proud to introduce BEACON, created through the merger of VTC and LOVARC. As one not-for-profit organization, BEACON will continue our shared mission of creating opportunities for people with disabilities to thrive.

For over 60 years, VTC and LOVARC have supported individuals with disabilities on the Central Coast through meaningful career opportunities, community engagement, and support services. While our name is changing, our commitment remains the same.

We know change can feel uncertain at first, but BEACON is built on the same values, trusted relationships, and legacy of service that have guided us for decades. As long-term community partners, we remain dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities in Santa Maria, Lompoc, and across the Central Coast.

To our community, thank you for your continued trust and support. We are excited to move forward together and become a BEACON in this next chapter.

Community Kindness in Action! 💛☕ Our Coffee & Community excursion group had such a wonderful experience today at Canela Cafe!
The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind to both our participants and staff—creating a space that truly felt warm, inclusive, and inviting. And to top it all off… they surprised us with a complimentary giant co**ha that we are definitely enjoying to the fullest! 😍🍞
Moments like these remind us how powerful community connections can be. We are so grateful for the support of local businesses that help make experiences like this meaningful and memorable for the people we serve.
