In 2005 the VSP or the "Very Special People" Club was opened to promote recreation, social and educational activities in a safe and secure environment. The VSP has hosted over 1,100 events since its opening.
A few years later we introduced the Hand Me Ups Thrift Store to help support our mission. The profits from these stores continue to help underwrite our programs. Currently there are three Hand Me Up locations in the Omaha area.
