The Valley Sheltered Workshop in Batavia will host its annual “Hog Wild for VSW” pig roast fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 19.
This free event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the VSW facility, 325 Main St. This year, the event marks a new chapter as they are celebrating a new partnership with the Montgomery Veterans of Foreign Wars Post, expanding their mission to provide support for disabled veterans alongside the core community members.
This year’s “Hog Wild for VSW“ pig roast introduces a special highlight— the partnership with the Montgomery VFW to launch veteran-led programming that offers supportive spaces for both disabled veterans and community members with disabilities. This collaboration honors veterans while expanding inclusive opportunities for everyone.
“We’re excited to launch this new initiative, allowing us to not only honor our veterans but also build stronger, more inclusive opportunities for all,” said Hugo Saltijeral, executive director of Valley Sheltered Workshop. “Together, we are transforming lives and empowering our community.”
Enjoy an afternoon of great food, community connection, and the chance to contribute to Valley Sheltered Workshop’s vital mission.
In addition to the roast pork and sides, the event will feature fun activities for all ages – including raffle baskets donated by local businesses; music and entertainment; and a special presentation on VSW’s new programming and partnerships.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will directly benefit its programs, providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities and veterans to thrive.
